"It's not often you find a band that so thoroughly revisits it's history and with such humor. The only thing that could have made this compilation better would have been the inclusion of music videos. There are not a lot of sources out there for information about the history of the band, so the booklet that comes with these albums is worth it's weight in proverbial gold. And if word of the band was rare, pictures are rarer still, so the candid shots included are great fun.
All in all this collection allows you to hear Antmusic in the proper context and with the permission of it's actual creators, so you know it's good."
Excellent, worth every penny

"Back in high school, I fell in love with Antmusic. It was like rebellion from normalcy and I grabbed on for the ride. 20 plus years later, I still want to grab on for the ride. This box rocks. The best part about the collection is the different versions of the original songs. There are two versions of a couple of songs such as "Stand and Deliver". In a couple of cases, I actually liked the demo better than the recorded song. "Friend or foe", for example, the demo is better to me. If you are an ant fan, this is a must have. My 3 kids, 8 and under, love the songs, too. My 3 year old can sing "Stand and Deliver" - it is adorable. Let's face it, there is no one that compares to the original sound of Antmusic. {If Adam Ant reads this stuff, record another album!! - the music industry now is so boring. . .}"
Absolutely LOVE IT!

"Well it took about 14 days to get to me, and with much anticipation, I put it in my BOSE car audio system, and BOOM there I was back in the early 80's with ADAM and MARCO!!! I absolutely love this collection, even the quirky A.N.T.S. makes me smile! If you are a FAN, this is a MUST. If you would like to know what the new romantic music movement was all about, pick this up! The DEMO versions on here are worth the cost of this collection and then some! Thank you SONY, now How about the DVD release of ANTVIDEO in AMERICA????"
Great Box set peters out towards the end..

"ANTBOX is a great collection of early Ant demos and unreleased stuff (mixed with the obligatory hit singles).
The first disk is a revalation for most Ant fans as most of the material has never been isssued before. Disk two is a great mix of rarities (A.N.T.S. anyone?) and has a bunch of great Friend Or Foe era outtakes. As for as Disk three is goes there's only a handful of rare items and as far as the Manners/Wonderful period goes we're deined anything besides the album tracks that were issued as singles. Which, if you're a fan, you already have and don't need again.There are no demos, live tracks or outtakes from these periods on ANTBOX which is odd because they're all over the internet. So it's not like they don't exist.
This all makes for a frustrating box set and hopefully rarites from this period will surface on another collection sometime in the future. A good box set for folks who don't mind their collections to overlap yet again with previously released material."
