SUB POP 200

great neat good super awesome good excellent .it was wonderful surprise delightful summer of fun.like as fun as a pearl jam show

A great compilation that gives the listener a chance to return to the glory days of late '80's/early 90's Seattle. Many of the bands here I had never heard of - much less heard - but was pleasantly surprised by the discs' overall quality.If you're a fan of Nirvana, Mudhoney, Melvins, Screaming Trees, Beat Happening, etc, you'll enjoy this set, re-issued in an attractive mini faux leather box with a cool booklet. Photos by Seattle scenester Charles Peterson. Excellent; should never have been out-of-print.

Great

Sherry sherry baby won't you come out tonight!!

For someone that grew up on the other side of the country it's interesting to go back and hear that Seattle sound begin to take shape. There are a handful of good tracks. The packaging could have been a bit better.

this CD is the essential grunge-record..it simply rocks! I bought the CD because i am a fan of blood circus, swallow and chemistry set, and these artists has some of the best tracks on the whole album. but the other artists surprised me too. "sex god missy" by tad is one of my favorite tracks by tad, and a good way to start this album. the fluid song is even better, and maybe one of the best songs on here. soundgarden and green river(later pearl jam) where maybe along with nirvana the most important grunge bands in the 80's, and all three bands are(of course) represented here. "big cigar" by catbutt has a garage-punky fee l to it, and it's also one of by favorites. buy this one if you like grunge, but if you think this is a f***ing creed-nickelback-puddle of mudd thing, don't..

Comes in a cool box, sort of a mini-replica of the original 3 l.p. release. As a fan of the edgier grunge/punk stuff:1/2 of the songs are awesome, 1/4 are mid-tier and the last 1/4 did not move me.

Hmm, like I care... how can you argue with Mudhoney's cover of "The Rose"?!?!?!?!? Honestly people...... and the Stephen Jesse Bernstein track.... what hilarity!!!! "Split," by the Days and Nights.... this stuff kept me company through my turbulent high school years... how can I forget it? I'm sure it's pure nostalgia, but it's a great portrait of a time and place. The book "Loser" about this same Seattle scene is pretty good, too.
