There's an old saying that goes you get what you pay for and it is especially true in regards to this budget box set that was put together buy the parent record company Universal. I was very displeased right from the very beginning when I opened up this box set and realize there were no liner notes for any of the albums the CDs themselves where generically labeled and cheap cardboard containers we're used to house the CDs. I don't know what it is with DVDs and CDs nowadays but there seems to be a trend towards packaging something up cheaply to sell at a cheap price so that the majority of people can own a box set of this or that. I am not impressed when I have to pay 35 Plus dollars and think I'm getting a great deal to get 5 albums at that price and realized that the packaging and labeling are poorly done and the actual case that holds all five CDs doesn't even hold together because it's so flimsy. I was extremely ticked off when I realize that all of those 5 CDs can be purchased individually for about $2 each on eBay. Now I know that this is not the fault of the merchant to selling these products and it's not the fault of eBay it's the fault of the parent record company Universal or more specifically Atlantic Records for allowing this substandard sub quality Packaging. Word to the wise when you see original album series five discs stay clear of them you will not be content or happy paying 35 or more dollars for something like this. Now I know that the parent company is also done this album series original album series with rock groups such as the B-52's, and I am telling all of my friends to stay clear of the original album series collections they are poorly done. I have since gone out and purchased all a Stone Temple Pilots albums on eBay one at a time as I purchased all of Scott Weiland's solo work and his work with Velvet Revolver I would rather purchase things individually and get the quality then get something that looks like was put together haphazardly and without reference to the memory of my beloved Stone Temple Pilots. My review for this collection is 0 stars out of 5 it doesn't even deserve a star furthermore the CDs themselves will scratch within days because they are poorly protected by the cheap crap cardboard sleeves stay clear of this production all together that's my advice to everybody who reads this review.

Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
THE FIRST TWO ALBUMS OUT OF THE FIVE ALBUMS INCLUDED IN THIS MULTIPACK ARE THE BEST GRUNGE ALBUMS EVER MADE. SCOTT WEILAND'S VOICE RANGE IS DEEP AND TUNES PUNCHY ENERGETIC ANGRY EMOTIONAL WEIRD AND WONDERFUL. THE LATER ALBUMS MORPHED INTO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STYLES, NOT AT ALL GRUNGE, WITH HIGHER PITCHED SOFTER SINGING AND SLOWER EXPERIMENTAL / ARTY (?) TUNES.
