A great collection of stuff for old and new fans alike. Obviously the music is great but the DVDs are packed with interesting commentaries and a nice short about Rooms.

The only thing you have to ask yourself is "Do I really want to pay $50 for an Amazon import when I can order it directly from the Matt Good store at Maple Music for half the price?"

this is an excellent collection of Matthew good/MGB tracks. Many of the best songs from each album are included (minus some important ones in my opinon) but the real treat is that "Loser Anthems" and "Lo-fi B-sides" are also included. Those of us who searched the earth for those tracks can now have some peace of mind. I wish some of his really early stuff could of made it on the list. Songs like "Dancing Invisable" "The Ocean" and "The Bombmaker" are awsome tracks from his Pre Matthew Good Band days that would of fit perfectly. "Rooms" is amazing. It really shows how Matt has the talent to write a beautiful song then change it up and still have a beautiful song. The acoustic version of "Strange days" steals the show for me. I really enjoy the music video DVD. I think that MGB had some of the coolest most imaginitive videos to date. Seeing "Stange days" on T.V got me hooked on them. Plus it's cool to hear Matt's comentary. All in all, if you're a Matthew Good fan you can't lose. I think he put this all together as a gift to us, the fans. The only thing that's sad is that such a talent is greatly unknown and that more people don't know his work.

There are three types of people who should buy this: those that have been in a coma for the last ten years, those that have been awake but who've never listened to Matt Good, and those constant listeners who love his music. That's just about everyone isn't it? Great compilation for folks like me from south of the border who don't have easy access to Matt's music. Video collection is great along with Loser Anthems and B-sides.

I got this album for Christmas this year, and it was awesome! The only Matt Good music I had been exposed too before this were the songs from Beautiful Midnight and Avalanche. I was delighted to find older songs like Symbolistic White Walls and Haven't Slept In Years and now they are my favourites.

His new style is awesome and this is a very long awaited album for the fans. Very excited for this to come out.

This set is going to be amazing and I know I speak for alot of people when I say; keep on keeping on Matt.

In contrast to the other reviewer, I feel this to be quite a decent release from Mr. Good. Fans will be delighted by the wonderful second disc, which contains an all-at-once acoustic recording of 9 songs that Matt has reworked.

Matthew Good is an artist that is both equally adored and despised- for me, he was an aquired taste, and has grown to be one of my favourite musicians. One look at the track listings of hits, and you can see that Matt has had an extensive Canadian music career, and has in his later years turned to more political and social perspectives both voiced on his blog, and in his musical content.

This will be a well enjoyed package for fans of both the Matthew Good Band and Matthew's solo work.

the below reviewer must be .. "in a coma" to think Matt Good is past his prime. In my humble opinion, he is one of the best songwriters out there, and I've been a fan for about a decade. There's so much garbage out there, it's refreshing to see an artist that withstands the changing demographic of the music scene and consistently puts out quality albums. I cannot wait for this "best of" set. It's about time we get an MG DVD, I've been waiting for years, Matt.. cheers

And you have nothing better to do with your time than post this here? Good job!!

Quite simple, if you dont like him, why bother coming to check out his new release?

How rare is it to find an artist who makes every song amazing? Well here he is. I love Matthew Good and In a Coma is an amazing collection of his talent. MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE. If you can get the edition with the DVD, well worth it!

I guess you never heard of avalanch. This is going to be awesome.
