I tend to agree... I think that box set was pretty poorly assembled, all
things considered. It also clearly didn't know its audience--was it a fan
box, or a greatest hits set? It tried too hard to be everything to everyone,
and the pacing is absolutely horrible. I sold it years ago, and wouldn't
recommend it to anyone who isn't a die-hard and wants the booklet and
rarities. --Jason
