CD Reviews

The very worst stranglers album ever
chris36643 | scotland glasgow | 03/15/2002
(3 out of 5 stars)

"The Stranglers,the very best band of the punk era.They now seemed to be remixed ,remastered in every form.
This album has nothing new on it,all the favorites,no more heroes,walk on by,something better change.
For an introductoin to the band,it is a good album,but for the fans I would say no.This is only for the diehard,hardcore,fan."
Wow Yet Another Stranglers "Best Of"
Rude Boy 1979 | Today I'm in Ybor City | 12/27/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)

"The Stranglers are a great group. One thing that amuses me is the endless supply of "best of" releases they have. I was in London in 2006 and in the Tube was an ad for a new Stranglers release. When I researched it, it was for a different best of cd. The band has put out so many good songs that a real best of would need at least 3 cd's to compile, all I've seen are these 1 cd releases so I'd recommend passing and getting their regular releases and just going from there."
Essential early Stranglers compilation
Mons | Norrpan | 06/14/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"The Stranglers were almost single-handedly responsible for getting New Wave music played onto daytime radio in London. Stranglers had the naked aggression of punk contemporaries, Sex Pistols and Clash, but also had hummable tunes, musical savvy and lyrics that fronted a lively intellect. The Stranglers became firm favourites with the middle and upper-class youngsters to whom the mindless nihilism of the Sex Pistols was a bit too blunt and unsophisticated. After all, any band that could namedrop Sancho Panza and Leon Trotsky in the same song (No More Heroes) had to be taken seriously.
This album is a great compilation of all the early Stranglers' best moments (1977 - 1978). A couple of the tracks towards the end have curiosity value only, but that's just a minor niggle.
P.S. Music buffs may notice the ghost of Doors' Light My Fire raised on Walk On By."
