The Blackest Box is a compilation boxset by Danish punk/rock band Sort Sol/Sods. The boxset comprises 11 CDs – eight CDs with remastered editions of all of the band's studio albums, as well as three bonus CD (including the new songs from the 2002 compilation album Circle Hits the Flame – Best Off...). The boxset includes a new version of the album Unspoiled Monsters. In the boxset the album is named: Unspoiled Monsters / Artist's Cut. The difference from the original release and the version in the boxset is both the order of the tracks on the album and the lack of the song called: "The Painter" from the original release.

Reception

This boxset was received with mixed reviews, while most acknowledge the significance of boxset summarizing the entire career of one of Denmarks punk/rock bands, some lament the lack of a written booklet.[1][2]
