It’s amazing how the years pass, and without thinking about it some things remain as good as they were the day they came out. This album is a great example of how that is. The big difference this time around is the sound quality! The tracks have volume to them, and I’m not just meaning i turned it up really loud. The bass has a fatter tone, the drums are no longer thin and lost to the back. It’s like hearing the grunge sound with new ears, you can definitely see what technology and more money invested in the mastering process can do. The album comes with expanded liner notes and bonus tracks, well not really tracks so much as a live show tacked on to sweeten the deal. The main disc was the same (with greater quality) and the live show won me over on the packaging. It’s a soundboard recording from a Portland show way back in the day. The quality on the show is amazing as well, plus they played songs that weren’t on Bleach, so you get the true feel of their shows from back then. They also picked a show where they made a few mistakes, which I find impressive because it gives a view of how their shows really were. I wish venues in my town could mic and mix sound like this, I might actualy see shows if they did.

Score – 4.5 / 5
