4.0 out of 5 stars Better blind than deaf., September 27, 2005

Nice to finally have a real "Best Of" out. Previously all we had was one of those always lame "Classic Masters" collections. This greatly improves on that disc by adding 7 tracks, and having better packaging. Of course the obvious songs are here like "No Rain", "Tones Of Home", and "Soup". Also good though is "Time", "Three Is The Magic Number", and "2 x 4". It's a nice change to hear the "No Rain (ripped away version)" as well. I think this proper collection is an excellent way for casual fans to see that Blind Melon was more than just the band with the bee-girl video. Shannon and the group were indeed underrated.

4.0 out of 5 stars Blind Melon At Its Best, September 29, 2005

This album has some good hits, more off the older albums, but if you're looking for amazing Blind Melon I'd suggest going with their self-titled album, every song is amazing and it gives the listen such a greater appreciation for the band. The Best Of combines songs from all their albums, but too me there are a lot more songs, "Holyman", "Sleepyhouse", "Skinned", and a ton more I would have liked to seen on this disc. But other than that its still a great cd and if you liked "No Rain" you'll like this cd and i suggest you get it.

This is the best "Greatest Hits" package I have ever seen. All the essential tracks are tracklisted here - released as singles or not. I can't name one essential track that was missed. This album is faultless. They even included "Three is a magic number" which up till now was a rare track. I still can't believe it...a greatest hits that is actually an accurate representation and a worthy tribute to the band!
