Review by R. Henderson-Espinoza

The Mega Box Set by Smithereens is an impressive collection of the band's greatest hits and rare recordings. This album is a must-have for any fan of the group, as it showcases their versatility and talent.

The box set includes four discs that cover the band's entire career, featuring hits such as "A Girl Like You" and "Only a Memory," as well as lesser-known tracks like "Blood and Roses" and "Too Much Passion." The collection also includes live recordings and unreleased demos, providing a unique insight into the band's creative process.
