Words can't describe ...
Every song hits me deep, the voice, the lyrics, the creativity, the passion, the curiosity, he had it all. Though I think he was a little too worried about politics, thinking it actually mattered which puppet was in office. Surprised by his support of one candidate over another, yet one should be credited with trying the status quo which is working good enough.

Amazing Music from and Amazing Musician
Lots of great music from a musician who left us to early.The version of "Nothing Compares 2U" is worth the price of this disc. I am writing this review with tears in my eyes thinking about the amazing music we could have got from Mr. Cornell.This is an amazing CD.Hope you enjoy this CD, Lots of great songs.

No one can match his voice. A fine illustration of his talent.
My only compliant is the limited number of songs, but it does illustrate what a talent he was. From front man of one of Seattle's heaviest, no holds barred, right in your face, band Soundgarden to his progression into unfamiliar territory, as a solo acoustic artist. No one will ever match his voice. No one can sing like him. No one ever will. The only reason this fine collection exists is because of the shortness of his life.The packaging is fantastic as well. The size of the box, The partial slip case hiding half of his face, one side a forest, the other a Seattle sky line, perfectly encapsalizes his talent from beginning to end. The CDs matching his influence and talent are separated nicely by the choice of the tracks selected for each CD in there own slip cases are nicely covered by a single image from his periods in his storied career. You want to put this on a shelf to display it, not hide it in a collection of the standard CDs you've collected. It deserves being displayed.

This is great 4CD of Chris Cornell.
I wanted something that doesn't come up short but hits every aspect of Chris Cornell's career, his bands and his live covers with other artist and their stuff. Skip on the one cd sampler and go all out. One won't be disappoint, this is great.

So. Freaking. Gorgeous
The build on this set is beautiful. Die cut belly band, awesome individual CD covers and booklet. So happy I bought this. Beyond the amazing music on this album, I will treat this physical CD compilation as the artwork that it is.
