"A part from the production which is so-so, this album is exceptional. With sounds that resemble Old Judas Priest, Motorhead, and even a bit of Helloween at times, this Group borned from where I come from, Canada, have great songs in their arsenal. Metal on Metal is to Anvil what Back in Black is to .... This classic song is astonishing from start to finish. Although there are many other good songs, other highlites include the hockey based BLOOD ON THE ICE, PAPER GENERAL, FORGED IN FIRE, and the oldie but goodie SCHOOL LOVE. These Heavy Metal hall of famers have assembled 18 of their most astonishing songs on one single disc. A disc that everyone should own. Rock on!"

An Anthology, not quite a "Best Of"

"Hailing from Canada, ANVIL has released its first album, "Hard 'n Heavy" back in 1981. This compilation covers material up to 1998's "Speed Of Sound" album, and includes a bonus track only previously available on the the japanese pressing of the "Plugged In Permanent" CD. This album showcases many of the most powerful ANVIL tracks. Unfortunately, because the material isn't presented chronologically, the production quality varies greatly, making this set a fair collection of good material but of variable direction. Still worth the money as an introduction to the band if you're missing a lot of their 11 previous albums."
