Sevendust Greatest Hits

Re: Sevendust Greatest Hits

Yeah, I'm not a hardcore VH fan, I just wanted their big hits. I agree with you, it's not very comprehensive.

It's very out of order the way the songs are layed out.

Now Motley Crue's latest 2 disc GRH is awesome.

Like I said, GH packages are hit and miss. Pink Floyd put together a 2 disc set Echoes:The Best of Pink Floyd recently which IMO was an absolute joke. There were so many glaring ommissons.

Yup. Red, White, and Crue. I've got it. Now that is what a GH package should be. Very comprehensive and well put together. The true goal of a GH album or anthology is that it paints an overview of a band/artist's entire career. RWC is a great example of that.

Very true. If I own the entire catalog for a band I still buy the GRH's just to own all cd's. I totally agree w/ you.

Yes, RWC is sweet. Music from Neil and Corabi w/ hits, unreleased tunes, and new music.

Look at KISS, no new material for almost a decade but they keep on releasing GRH's albums. Just crazy imo.

Yep. Kiss, another one of my favorites. Lynyrd Skynrd is the same way, they have almost as many GH compilations as they do regular albums. They just continue to whore themselves to any record company.

Well, to be fair, in the case of artists who haven't put out any new material, the record labels put out the repackaged greatest hits packages to keep the artist relevent and in the public eye. A lot of the time the band itself has nothing at all to do with that.

Unless it's Kiss we're talking about. Those guys will do anything humanly possible for a dollar. Kiss Kaskets, anyone?

It's funny since us stupid fans buy into some of this. That's a lot of GRH albums.

Re: Sevendust Greatest Hits

I acquired it a couple days ago and listened to it yesterday afternoon. It's pretty much exactly what I expected, but after listening to it, the tracklist isn't that bad. I still think "Broken Down," "Xmas Day," "Licking Cream," "Fall," and "My Ruin" would have made better tracks than some of the ones chosen, but what ya gonna do? The "Inner City Blues" cover is absolutely phenomenal, and the Seasons b-sides hold up well with the material that did end up on the CD. It only further disappoints me that they couldn't get together with Butch to work on Next which, to this point, has been a pretty big disappointment to me. It really is no surprise that the two CDs they worked with Butch on -- Sevendust and Seasons -- have proven to be their strongest collections, with Home following a very close second. I guess the collection would be a nice introduction to someone who is just trying to get into them, but is pretty much a throwaway for anyone who already has the albums, unless you desperately need the four b-sides and covers.
