'Get Born Again' is an awesome song though.

As well, there is a raw demo version of 'We Die Young', but both these tracks made it hard for me to justify spending full price on a CD. Sure, there is a live version of 'Rooster' that was previously unreleased, but it's nothing to write home about. All the songs are excellent, of course (as if AIC could be anything but excellent) but I already have most of these songs. After purchasing this CD for full price, I got it home and started to feel a painful burning emanating from my backside courtesy of Columbia Records. Either you picked this up because you like a couple of Alice In Chains songs and didn't want to buy all their CD's to get them or you are a hardcore AIC fan and needed to get a copy of 'Get Born Again'. this CD is going to have an audience of two different groups. You should probably collect most of the songs on this album with the other AIC albums, but there is absolutely no denying the quality of the material on this disc! (If you're the kind of person that likes to have a nice hits mix to throw in your CD player though, it'd still be a good choice even if you are a hardcore fan.) But if you're an average AIC fan then this would be a great CD for you.

The album opener, Get Born Again, is absolutely sweet and worth it, but if you're a die-hard fan then you'd be a fool to get this album because later on you'll be wanting the full Music Bank box set and you'll have Nothing Safe entirely full of songs you already have. Sludge Factory maybe?ĭo not buy this album if you're a hardcore Alice In Chains fan.

I would have liked some more Unplugged too. Don't worry, it's only 15 seconds long, but "Iron Gland" shouldn't ever be included on an AIC compilation. They foolishly put the one worst AIC song ever onto this compilation. The powerhouse Them Bones, the ultimate depressed ballad Down In The Hole, the emotional Got Me Wrong, the power-hitting sorrowful metal cry of Angry Chair, the anthemic Rooster, the brilliantly brooding Grind, the archetypal AIC acoustic song No Excuses, and all of the songs on the album are good and listenable. This set really contains so many of Alice In Chains' most triumphant and sweetest moments. Then it moves on to the incredible demo version of We Die Young, as hard hitting and energetic as Metallica and at least as cool. It opens with the fantastic reqiuem style heavy metal dirge, Get Born Again, a song not released on any of AIC's straight studio albums. The only song not included on Nothing Safe that is included on Greatest Hits' is Heaven Beside You, and Nothing Safe contains MANY essential Alice tunes that the other neglected. The aforementioned greatest hits is a good package, and a good deal if you find it in the rack for 7 or 8 bucks, but not at all worth it when you consider the wealth of material you'll be getting in addition to that if you spend a few more bucks on this Nothing Safe Best of the Box collection.

The existance of this CD pretty much makes "Alice In Chains' Greatest Hits" obsolete. The only knocks against it are the regretful failure to include their classic Heaven Beside You, and the version of Rooster included is not the studio version (though I would argue that this live version of Rooster is at least as good as the studio one.) This is a great Alice In Chains collection.
