Only for the diehards

"Sinking Island" and the ext version of "Stand or Fall" are currently available on the remaster of Shuttered Room, and the 'remix' of "Red Skies" is lame.  Except for "Venture Out", the other B-sides are weak and it's pretty obvious why they weren't albumed.  There is, however, a song called "Crystal Ice Dub" which is featured on the flip side of my "One Thing..." 12 inch, then called "Reach the Beach (dub)", which made this little album worthwhile to me as a longtime fan, as I have always enjoyed that so-called 'studio doodle'.  Unless you're looking for something specific here, then just skip it.

The only reason to own this CD is if you enjoy "showing off" really bad music to your friends and family. "You've got to hear this...it's so bad!" Some of the songs on the album are instrumental, and other songs have vocals. But neither are a blessing to the ears. The CD is good for a laugh, but not much else. Might make a good gag gift. It would be a hard contest indeed to vote for the worst song on the album (or for that matter, the best song on the album) but my vote is "Take My Breath Away."

First of all, anyone actually sitting around their home listening to this tripe is in need of a good hobby. To say "Lavey", et al, exhibited any kind of talent on this album is stretching the truth at best. But of course, so-called 'satanists' know little of truth to begin with. They parade a social misfit and charlatan as their grand influence (Howard Levey) and take to heart everything he's said or done.
The fact that mediocre miscreants [like this] exist in our society isn't the issue here: If you sincerely believe that the "music" on this album is worth buying, then by all means buy it (get it out of the local music store where the rest of the world doesn't have to look at it). But, I'm sure your man Howard is screaming in hell somewhere, maybe not so much from the horror of his chosen eternity, but because the likes of Glenn Miller and Cab Calloway are beating him senseless (is that at all possible?) for ever touching a musical instrument.

Even the most diehard Cream fan will find listening to this disc all the way through a real chore. The sound varies,  several songs are incomplete (Crossroads for one), and  that dang British announcer really grates on you, especially when you hear his obnoxious voice talking over the song. The real test of any album is how many times you'll actually listen to it all the way through. My honest guess on this one would be once. On subsequent listens you'll eventually diminish your "favorite tracks" until all you're left with are the two recordings of "Steppin' Out" where Clapton really kicks @ss. As far as the "limited recording equipment at the time" or "circumstances under which they were recorded" theories, why do the Beatles, Hendrix and Stones BBC tracks blow these away?
Bottom line is ask yourself if buying this new is really worth your cash. If you've got these tracks on a bootl#g cd, definitely save your $$$$$. My advice is to drop no more than an Alexander on used one (remember the punch hole in the bar code has no affect on the sound quality!).

This is as mindless as the game "Left Center Right". And very similar in execution. It's a great time waster- e.g. a game you can do when other activities/conversations are taking place. It has no brain nutritional value whatsoever, but it's OK if you like the theme.

Like "Never Mind the Bollocks", this is a handful of world-beating singles packaged with a boatload of abrasive filler.  How any band regurgitating 1983-vintage Replacements (with heroin substituted for  alcohol) got credited with a musical revolution (which lasted all of four  years) is beyond me.  Don't get me wrong - I own it, along with forty or  fifty records it parrots.

Dont believe the hype.
As a person who has always been bored with mainstream entertainment.
I've always sought out taboo subjects and titles.
THIS is just garbage,plain and simple.
A bunch of idiots running around,tryin to make something out of nothing.
Kinda reminds me of another wasteful title..."The heart is deceitful above all things".
If your really looking for something,"out there",thats actually gonna take you for a ride that you'll probably remember for the rest of your life.
I totally recommend: Richard Kern's "The Hardcore Collection",or G.G. Allen's "Hated",DVD.(NOT FOR THE FAINT!)
If neither one of these titles satisfy your hunger for the extreme off-beat of things,then try theropy.lol!!!
Because your gone....(Too funny)

If you like gay sounding (literally gay sounding) primal screams and lead a life of dulldrum.  Or have run out of anything else to buy in music... this is your band.  They are just trying too hard to be different.  The occult sounding math added to the slip cover... yeah.  If you want to put the cart before the horse, and come up with any number you please; why not base your life on star signs.  Not full of sound.  Sparse and Odd Sounds.  I do listen to a lot of different varieties of metal.  I would categorize this as Death Light.

Like "The Killer Elite" , this 70's shoot-em-up doesn't hold up.  We must have been starved for entertainment back then.  Probably what I remember is excitement of going to the movies.

This book will be of interest only to people who know little or nothing about this country.  For the rest of us, Fenby's amazing religious and political bias borders on farce, and the text appears to be simply an extended harangue by someone with a pen who has various axes (yes, axes) to grind.  The repeated references to "sober (i.e. good) Protestants" and "corrupt Catholics", and the constant plugging of socialist politics and leftist personalities at the expense of all others becomes extremely annoying -- unless one is a member of the pan-Anglo socialist movement, I believe.  As far as the author's descriptions of depressed French villages and towns is concerned, one need only to travel through England's midlands or the U.S.'s rust belt to see considerably more severe examples of the same phenemenon.
As stated by others, the most interesting part of the book is a look at some recent government corruption scandals and political machinations.  Unfortunately, the positives here are largely drowned out by the tone of the work; a tone that is really akin to something approaching nagging.  Whatever your interest (or dis-interest) in this country, countless better introductions exist to France than this crap.

Basically, as someone has already said, this band and all of their compisitions are one big joke. If you buy it, expect very short, repetitive songs, filled with mindless screaming...

The perk? Check the CD booklet, and read the lyrics. You'll laugh your ____ up pretty hard.

Man this is some watered down, derivative, thinly spread music without any actual musical substance, melody or soul.  From the inside booklet of the cd Grooverider is pretty sure he's a musical messiah bringing some transcendental revelation of genre-bending funk to the world.  There are apparently a lot of funk-impaired people out there who mistakenly believe they are the mouthpiece of the one true Lord Shafunkulus.  They have in fact only taken the first few tentative babysteps on the path toward ultimate Funktification and somehow have the audacity to believe they have given forth a masterpiece unto the world.  It's not hard to imagine that these self-inflated, premature adults are merely the heads of a very insulated little club of egotists posing as artists.  The future of  music would truly be screwed if we were depending on Lamerider to elucidate the mysteries of funk for us.  Have I spoken plainly enough?  When you step up to the plate with a title like "Grooverider, The Mysteries of Funk", you had better oughta have your funk tightened down proper and step correct with the melodious and groovalistic experience.  Or face the ridicule of the true and enlightened funkateers.  I've got more funk in my day old socks than this charlatan.  Strike me down now and I will become more funky than any of you could possibly imagine.  See if I don't.

This game is only for hormone-raging 13 year old kids who can't get their hands on actuall pornography so its aimed towards their hormones. The game is actually not a good game. If one of your "not-as-smart" friends has the game you might want to try it, but its not worth the money nor time to rent or buy. The ONLY other reason to buy this game is IF you are a DIE HARD Dead or Alive "collectors" fan.

A fun read if you've got nothing else, but there is much better out there.

Really funny throw back to early cinema exploitation.  If your looking for soft core and boobs for a boring afternoon killer, then this is for you.  For what they tried to do it wasn't bad for a B flick back in the day but don't expect to be inspired unless it's by voluptuous German women.

If you don't have the series that these are pulled from, or are a big action fan, you'll probably enjoy this collection.

However, owning where they all come from makes them redundant.  And there's very little context within or introduction as to what the current conflict is over.

If you're into action and fight scenes go for it.  If not, skip it.

I read the other reviews, and I must say that the people who wrote them  must have been really stoned at every concert they ever went to, and never  listened to the studio albums.  First of all, for a "best of the best,  greatest hits, thanks to the fans" album it does not contain many  great songs.  There are no songs from Dark at the End of the Tunnel.  Private Life, Nothing to Fear, Just Another Day, Pain, and Good for Your  Soul are all missing.  They have been replaced by such loser self indulgent  tunes as I am the Walruss, Clowns of Death, and Water.  Moreover, the  recording sounds like it was done by some guy with a micro cassette  recorder stuffed in his pocket.  The crowd noise is a nice idea, but it  gets in the way of the music.  If your are looking for a good compilation  try Boingo Alive or Best 'o Boingo.  They were obviously put together by  people who understood that a greatest hits album is not an opportunity for  the band to indulge its own desires, but rather is a vehicle for compiling  the songs people like.
