Nice selection of tracks from their first 5 albums.On the
downside,only 10 tracks.This,together with Dead Cities,
will provide you a complete panorama of Exploited's music
for the 80's,saving you a lot of money.BUY!

This CD is great because it has snipits from most of their albums. The music is so full of rage that it makes you want to destroy everything in sight. The only part of this album that is not good is the song "Punk's Not Dead." Even though it's the best song they ever made the recording quality of this song sucked. It's nowhere near the Punk's Not Dead album, but the rest of the album is great.

The Exploited were the best European punk band ever, influencing many infamous punk bands of today. Their raging anthems about politics, love, and life can be compared to fellow peers Conflict and Crass. Their anarchist-pogo-slam punk makes you want to destroy stuff and Wattie's lyrics makes you wanna riot. Their old material was the best because as they grew older, so did their music. Relive the glory days of punk rock 'n' roll.

This song selection is quite lacking and includes more of the Lets start a war / Horror Epics stuff. Of the later stuff they should have included stuff from "Jesus is Dead".
Notable tracks that are missing include stuff of Punks not Dead and Troops of Tomorrow. Get those two instead and the Exploited singles collection and you'll have most the good stuff they put out. The Exploited were definitely the best UK punk band of the 80's scene and alot of their stuff kicks ass but not his compilation.
