CD Reviews

Babes scantily clad in metal!
Brent P. Frey | Prairie Village, KS USA | 05/15/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album could get 5 stars just for the album photos. Nice!!Besides that, this album is the epitome of a 'best of' collection. Atrocity is one of the most diverse bands in the darker realm of music, playing everything from death to goth to electronic metal to heavy industrial. This compilation gives an excellent cross section of what they've done over the years, which means that, unless you are a diehard fan, you'll love half the songs and probably not love the other half. I'm not really into the industrial bit, but Atrocity even adds some interesting elements into that genre. Fans who have all their albums will be pleased with the rare and remixed tracks. Some of the song selections from existing albums could have been chosen better, but hey, I guess we all could argue which songs off certain albums are the best. And let's not forget about the 80's covers songs; great to throw in at parties. Plus, SEVEN multimedia tracks! If a band is going to do a best of, this is the way to do it...multiple discs and several videos and rare tracks. You definately get good bang for your buck!"
