“This 1,000-record crate is heavy on the 2010s at 229 entries with the 2020s close behind at 172. You've got 437 artists and 405 labels mixing it up, but the anchor is clearly stadium rock and grit. Pearl Jam runs thirty-six deep from Ten all the way through Dark Matter, backed by nineteen Stones records and eighteen from The White Stripes. Then you have thirty-seven various artist compilations led by things like the Singles soundtrack where Brendan O'Brien and Andy Wallace left their fingerprints all over your other sleeves. It's a rock-solid shelf built on decades of loud guitars and heavy rotation, even if Sven Gali is getting ignored in the back. Give'r a spin and let the crate breathe.”
