 Awful. Just get it the f*ck away from me November 2, 2004
9 out of 44 found this review helpful
Ugh. If this is what you hipsters like to call "real" grunge, then so be it. Just get it the f*ck away from me. I despise this album. Even if it does have Nirvana on it. There's much better material from Nirvana's early era than "Spank Thru." What about "Blandest", "Blew", "Sifting", "Hairspray Queen", "Mexican Seafood", "Downer", "Big Long Now", "Polly", and "Dive"? Yes, all of these Nirvana classics were recorded before Sub Pop 200 was released in '88. Why they chose the dud they did is beyond me. Maybe Pavitt and his partner wanted to expose his listeners to this type of crap to see how long they could endure it. Of course, after listening to this album, I don't see why Sub Pop would have any fans left. Really, the only people who say they like this type of music is hipsters so desperately wanting to relive their supposed 'junkie' days while sipping brandy and smoking their brains out in a dimly-lit bar. Even the Mudhoney tune on here sucks. And I love Mudhoney. And Nirvana. Beat Happening's not too bad either. As for the rest of the bands: The less said the better. After all, how adept do you expect a band called "Cat Butt" to be? If you must (ha) get a Sub Pop compilation, just get "The Grunge Years." It's nothing great, but The Fluid has a pretty good tune on there.
My cynicism. You know you like it.
 Seattle Grunge fans UNITE! July 18, 1998
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This CD is a must for any Seattle grunge fan that almost died with Cobain. It features indie label Sub Pop's greatest bands from early versions of Nirvana and Soundgarden to the best of Mark Arm in Green River and Mudhoney. It also includes a twist by being the first rock compilation to include a poem as one of the songs. If you loved the grunge era of just a few years ago you'll definitly love this album. Amen.

A great compilation that gives the listener a chance to return to the glory days of late '80's/early 90's Seattle. Many of the bands here I had never heard of - much less heard - but was pleasantly surprised by the discs' overall quality.
If you're a fan of Nirvana, Mudhoney, Melvins, Screaming Trees, Beat Happening, etc, you'll enjoy this set, re-issued in an attractive mini faux leather box with a cool booklet. Photos by Seattle scenester Charles Peterson. Excellent; should never have been out-of-print.

I recently REcovered this CD. It's an excellent compilation of some of Sub Pop's early artists. If you're looking to see where it all started, or you just want a solid grunge CD, this is it. Don't loan it to anyone...
buy it! January 28, 2004
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
this CD is the essential grunge-record..it simply rocks! I bought the CD because i am a fan of blood circus, swallow and chemistry set, and these artists has some of the best tracks on the whole album. but the other artists surprised me too. "sex god missy" by tad is one of my favorite tracks by tad, and a good way to start this album. the fluid song is even better, and maybe one of the best songs on here. soundgarden and green river(later pearl jam) where maybe along with nirvana the most important grunge bands in the 80's, and all three bands are(of course) represented here. "big cigar" by catbutt has a garage-punky fee l to it, and it's also one of by favorites. buy this one if you like grunge, but if you think this is a f***ing creed-nickelback-puddle of mudd thing, don't..
