"If you are a Simple Minds fan looking to complete your collection with this boxset, I advise you to just forget it, snap out of it, smack yourself out of it. Don't pay this incredible amount of money for a bunch of inferior demos and live recordings. And if you're like me, this 5 disc set may make you re-evaluate your entire fixation with the band. Rather than make a strong case for the band it just makes it look like an old outdated odyssey. The long "lost" album Our Secrets Are The Same should have remained lost. It's one of the dullest things they've ever done.

Almost Okay

"I was very excited about the release of Silver Box because it included the "lost" album "Our Secrets Are the Same." Perhaps I need more time to digest all five disks, but it didn't really rattle my cage. I more enjoyed the earlier cuts, studio demos of Jim and Charlie's first few albums. I agree that the song list is quite uneven. I would have hoped for more of their earlier work, especially the songs that are only available on the out-of-print "Early Years" album. The addition of "Our Secrets Are the Same" is also a disappointment. If you want new material from Simple Minds, buy "Cry" and wait for "Black and White." This is not essential."
GREAT

"GREAT BOX SET!!! Everything by Simple Minds is simply fantastic. I love the diversity of all their albums including the very rare stuff by them. I don't care what they sing, they are stuck with me for life.
