Founded in Jamestown, NY, in 1981, this sextet's literate, folk/pop-inflected music made them one of the leading alternative rock standard-bearers of the '80s. With lead vocals by Natalie Merchant, signature hits like "What's The Matter Here?" and "These Are Days" sustained their high-profile popularity for over a decade. Merchant departed for solo stardom in '93, but 10,000 Maniacs' classic material remains in the pantheon of all-time great socially conscious, thinking-people's rock.

  • Contains 31 cuts spanning 1982-1993, from the original band's two pre-Elektra indie releases through their last album with Merchant, the smash MTV Unplugged.
  • Almost 2 hours of music, newly remastered for remarkable clarity.
  • Disc 1 spotlights all the band's Hits, while Disc 2 offers an irresistible, career-spanning collection of 14 Rarities.
  • Rarities, boasts 5 previously unissued tracks.
  • Extensive booklet, designed by Natalie herself, includes in-depth liner notes by former Rolling Stoneeditor Anthony DeCurtis, and tons of rare photos.

    Professional Reviews
    Entertainment Weekly (1/23/04, p.101)
    - "10,000 Maniacs' literate folk-pop sounds better now than it did in their late-'80s heyday." - Rating: B

    Q (4/04, p.128)
    - 3 stars out of 5 - "[T]hey possessed a capacity to beguile that had listeners convinced, temporarily at least, the world was indeed pastel-hued."

    Dirty Linen (p.45)
    - "[Their] early work blended bristling-punkish electric guitar work with Merchant's sometimes dreamy, sometimes intense vocal magic..."

    2 of 5 Better left obscure and unknown Tuesday, October 21, 2008
    S A Moore from Orlando, FL  

    This album was better off left as obscure and unknown. This is not in the best effort of 10,000 Maniacs, and is more irritating then soul searching. Anyone who loves their music, will likely be very disappointed in this album. I certainly was.
