Start Together is compilation box set containing the entire remastered discography of the American rock band Sleater-Kinney. A digital version of the remastered box set was released on September 2, 2014. Three thousand limited edition physical copies of the box set were released on colored vinyl with a 44-page companion book on October 21, 2014.[1] [2] [3] The box set also included a 7″ single of the song "Bury Our Friends" from their 2015 album No Cities to Love.[4]

Critical reception

Jenn Pelly of Pitchfork Media praised the compilation box set, stating that "Start Together tells the unlikely story of how this band carried the wildfire of '90s Oly-punk to pastures of more ambitious musicality—a decade that moves from caterwauling shrieks to glowing lyricism, from barebones snark to Zep-length improv, from personal-political to outright (left) political."
