As 'Best Of' albums go, this is definitely an excellent one to pick up especially if you don't already have all of Candlebox's previous material. But, I suppose that goes without saying. This is a solid career spanning collection but it's too bad that there wasn't a B-side, live track, remixed/alternate version or something unique to entice the true fans of the band to jump on board and pick this up in spite of already having most of the songs on this set - and for this, the collection gets 4 stars instead of 5. They did include the song "Glowing Soul" which is a solid up-beat track which was previously released on the soundtrack for The Waterboy.

For the casual fan however, this release has all of the essential Candlebox material and some of the lesser known yet still outstanding material from thier last album Happy Pills. The good news is that none of the songs on the album are radio edits or shortened versions which are so common on greatest hits collections. This is absolutely worth the price of admission!

I'm psyched to see that Candlebox is touring with the original lineup in support of this album! Their live show should not be missed!

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!

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.

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 *****

taking you back from the early days when ledgendary artist were king.
candle box with there bold and best hits from years ago.
this album rocks in style.
look for there new up coming cd,into the sun!

So glad I purchased this CD by Candlebox. It's now one of my favorites. Play it all the time. For me it shows some deep meaning within the songs.

I went to a Candlebox concert and loved their music. I realized I didn't own anything by them. This is the CD I decided to buy and happy I did. I'm enjoying this music as I walk and listen to my IPOD.

Candlebox has been around a long time now and they do not disappoint. If you get the chance to see them live (I have seen them two consecutive summers) do it! They are even better on stage than they sound on the album. Don't forget about their incredible newer release that is maybe a year old. The newer album is just as good a listen as the greatest hits.

its candle box what more needs to be said...if i was puttin a compilation of candlebox's best hits this would be it...but i didnt have to ...cuz they already did it for us right here...now just purchase their new album "into the sun" and you will be equipped with the best rockin musical collection EVERRR!!!!!

Great songs...but I wish they'd have added Voodoo Child. They performed it at Woodstock II.
