"I have to admit I'm a Silverchair-aholic, and it pains me to do this to any of their CDs, but they only get a three star rating for this one. It has great songs, and great variety in moods and the generations of Daniel Johns' writing, which wins it three stars, but it isn't a good value at this price. Why? Because you can get all of these songs (With the exception of "Spawn: the pre-Vitro version"), and the majority of their more popular tracks on "Silverchair: The Best of, VOL 1" album for the same price, or half the price if you are involved in the club pricing on Amazon. So, if you are a fan (like me), who is going to collect it anyway just because it is a Silverchair CD; by all means go for it. Also, if you have the Frogstomp, Freak Show, and Neon Ballroom albums already, and therefore can't justify buying the Best of album, here is a great way to get almost everything else that album had to offer without repurchasing the previously released tracks. Otherwise, the Silverchair: Best of VOL1 album is the best way to experience the most of silverchair's incredible run and the unreleased goodies!Hope this was helpful!"

Rarities?

"Call this Rarities? More like: "A Couple of Unreleased Tracks and Some Fill-in Songs"! Yes, it does have some great rare songs, but you can find Madman and Blind on Frogstomp and Ana's Song (Acoustic) on The Best Of CD. Also, I looked at the tracks on this and then at the tracks on The Best Of Silverchair and all the songs are on there aswell! I warn people not to buy this and get The Best Of Silverchair instead.



PS. Silverchair, I still love you."

Not so rare.........

"Too bad it's just a cd of unreleased tracks. There's nothing really special to it. Needed something more to justify a release. Lacks a bit of soul."
