Product Description
Fronted by lead singer/guitarist Richard Patrick, Filter emerged in 1995 with the album Short Bus and breakthrough single, ‘Hey Man, Nice Shot,’ which Rolling Stone called,’a timely combination of grunge heat and industrial ice, raw emotion riding a steel pulse of digital rhythm.’ That hit, plus the song ‘Dose,’ represent the band’s landmark debut on the career-spanning (to date) compilation, The Very Best Things (1995-2008), Filter’s first-ever retrospective set.

I highly recommend this album to any fan of Filter – from the casual listener to the diehard. For casual fans, this is a neatly arranged compilation of all of the songs you’re probably familiary with, including the soundtrack songs. For the diehards, it not only adds to your collection, but it’s nice to have all of those soundtrack songs on one album.

This is an excellent collection representing one of the greatest bands in the history of ROCK. This album is a necessity for both new fans (Soldiers of Misfortune, Where Do We Go From Here) and old school fans (Hey Man Nice Shot, Dose) alike! Don’t miss out on this must-have CD! FILTER redefined the sound of rock music, buy The Very Best Things and let them show you how.

Thanks Rich and the Filter guys. You’ve given us a great collection of emotions, rage, truth, darkness, and hope. Play it loud as it’s intended. Great new remix of “Take a Picture”. Glad to see “Skinny” included. “One” isn’t a favorite of mine – I’m too familiar with the original version. Miss not having “Cancer” included from Title of Record.
Excellent best-of album.

Filter is one of a kind. If you like music that’s full of talent, anger and love, this album is your choice. It’s a must for a hardcore fan, and a good start for a new listener. The soundtrack stuff is excellent, and some of it has been really hard to get for years – awesome that it’s available here! Also, the special edits are a nice little add to the package.

If you don’t know FILTER yet get this to have a very good overview of what FILTER is all about.
The first 5 tracks are really best of tracks, soldiers of misfortune adds another one from the current album.
Of course you can get all the other complete albums of the past – it is really worth it.
