The good stuff
The sound quality is awesome. This catalog has been long in need of some serious remastering and it finally got it. I have not delved much into the DVD side of the discs, so I can't really mention anything about the videos that are included. Each disc has a few bonus tracks. Most are alternate versions of existing tracks. Some others are unfinished, unreleased, unrealized songs. In my opinion, the best of the unreleased tracks is on "Remain In Light" -- the band had the Afro-Cuban rhythm down to an art.
The bad stuff
The packaging. The outer, white, plastic cube covered in song titles is kinda cool. However, this is a package that is more an art item than a functional item. The jewel boxes are pure white and that's it. No track listings. No name of the album on the spine. Just clean, pristine white. Which means you have to get the booklet out to see what songs are on the disc.
But... in the grand scheme of this package, that's a minor quibble. Having the Heads in solid, remastered sound is worth everything else.
