Product Description

A leading band of the '90s grunge heyday, they fused hard rock chops with alt-skewed sensibilities for a rich and heavy sound that was embraced by both mainstream and alternative fans. Culling the very best tracks from their power trio of albums, this new collection-the first-ever compilation from Candlebox-spotlights their classics plus other favorites including "Simple Lessons," "Understand," "It's Alright," "Happy Pills," and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars those days....., May 29, 2006

By	tak1 - See all my reviews

man, do I remember those days when I was younger and i'd listen to candlebox and didn't care if it was considered "out of touch" because the music was labeled by some as simply grunge. All I knew was that the songs were good and I'd take candlebox over pearl jam and soundgarden any day!
this best of compilation is the perfect reminder of just how good candlebox's music STILL is. It also is a bit surprising how the band even got a best of cd being the fact that they really only had two big songs: you and far behind. But whatever, I still appreciate this and anyone else should as well.

I have always loved candlebox... always... they are actually touring again this summer with the original lineup and I was so excited I found their new website (candleboxrocks.com).
This "greatest" is the best news I have had in a long time.. THANK YOU CANDLEBOX!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have ! ! !, December 8, 2007

Very good, Although it's missing one charting single -- the minor 1993 rock radio hit "Don'T You" , "The Best of Candlebox" is a very good overview of this awesome band's work. It has all their major hits -- "Change," "Cover Me," "Simple Lessons," "Understanding," "10,000 Horses," "It'S Alright," "Happy Pills," and, of course, "Far Behind," which is the one tune of theirs that is known to the average alt-rock fan -- along with a sampling of album tracks, mainly drawn from "Candlebox" and "Lucy", plus the relative rarity of "Glowing Soul," which was originally on the soundtrack to the Adam Sandler comedy "The Waterboy". There's not much in the way of packaging -- the flimsy booklet has no notes to speak of -- but for those who want to stroll down a flannel-paved memory lane, this comp does present the band in its best light. 5 stars *****
