Music reviews of Whatever: The '90s Pop and Culture Box

Music Review: Whatever? No...not really...
Rating: 2 Stars

Call me crazy, which many of you will, but is this compilation really indicitive of the 90's? Where's the angst??

Yes, there are many obscure songs on this set. And yes, it's great they they found non-mainstream music to include. However, when attempting to encapsilate an entire decade, shouldn't you also include mostly popular music, showing the trends and forms of the decades?

While some of the bigger artists were included (like M.C. Hammer and Oasis) what happened to the surprise artists like Alanis, No Doubt and Whitney Houston?

Overall, I think this set was a big waste of time. I spent most of my years in High School as a music freak, and the years before and after that I collected, listened and studied all genres.

Perhaps I should just release my Ipod playlists, with better 90's collections, and more thoughtfullness involved?

Description of Whatever: The '90s Pop and Culture Box

Remember the 1990s? Dot-com booms and stock market pinnacles? The fall of the Wall, the rise of Desert Storm, Presidential impeachment, and Beavis & Butt-head? The decade of grunge power, alt-rock diversity, and hip-hop evolution? The decade of grunge power, alt-rock diversity, and hip-hop evolution? It's an era that's oh-so-close, yet already so far away. If you're pining for those '90s, and we know you are-our monlithic new 7-disc box takes you back to the good old days in style.
You'd be right to be excited about Rhino Records' voluminous compilation, Whatever: The '90s Pop and Culture Box. After all, they did such a great job with their 1980s comps, not to mention all their various approaches to prior decades, from the original Nice Day series to the expanded and brilliant Nuggets collections. Whatever is a seven-disc set that comes with a bag of stale coffee inside it. This US-centric collection has a lot of great tracks on it, from throwaway songs ("Sunscreen," "Sex And Candy") to absolute classics ("Baby Got Back," "Under the Bridge"). But ultimately, it's a complete and utter mess. A lot happened in the '90s of course; hip-hop went pop, rock got funky and weird, grunge broke open and imploded, Moby sampled the Lomax archives for a surprise hit, even the weirdest indie bands had cash thrown at them by major labels, the daisy age morphed into the chronic age, and dance music was quite nearly the next big thing. Rather than provide a narrative of underground and mainstream movements, this set smacks of the sort of lowest common denominator, novelty-centric approach that makes lowbrow VH1 programs only fleetingly satisfying. Sheesh. Hip-hop, metal, and dance music are barely covered here. And the lack of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" alone is enough to make the listener want to return the set with the words "try again" scrawled into the cover. --Mike McGonigal
