5.0 out of 5 stars The Jesus Lizard= Best rock band of all time, May 24, 2001

This concludes the Jesus Lizard chapter of albums, and it has got some fantastic extra tracks on it too, that weren't on their LP's, like "The Test", the Trio covers, and the Chrome medley. I would suggest buying all of their albums, because sooner or later, they will all grow on you and you will be converted to a Lizard fan. Of course if you hate them, you hate them, but if youare a fan of punk rock and pure chaos and great musicians, than you will eventually love them. It took me like two years before I finally got into "Down", but now I consider that album to be their finest.

"Bang" is a great overview of their work on Touch and Go, so if you want to start off, you might think about buying this and working your way backwards into the sick twisted land of David Yow, David Wm. Sims, Duane Denison, and Mac McNeilly.

5.0 out of 5 stars BANG!!, June 19, 2003

this is one hell of a compilation. it features most of the early jesus lizard's work. it compiles mainly of b-sides and all of their 7"s on touch and go. it also has the "lash" triple 7". the main highlights of this comp. are a cover of a "chrome" song intitled "chrome" also "the test" is probably one of the best lizard songs i have ever heard. the "lash" portion of this comp. is excellent it has two of the most intense lizard songs: "glamorous" and "def as a bat". the afermath of that is 4 live versions of songs off of the "goat" and "head" album. if you like this and want to get another lizard album I would suggest "liar" or "goat". also you should check out duane denison's band "tomahawk".

5.0 out of 5 stars Get this album first, the rest will follow., March 1, 2007

I owned two Jesus Lizard albums for about three years. It wasn't until I picked this, best of, album up that they became my favorite band. I proceeded to buy the remaining ones I didn't own, along with a band called Scratch Acid that Yow and Sims performed in the 80's, which was completely ahead of its time. I always hear people complaining about the United States, and that's when I ask myself.... What country did the Jesus Lizard come from? But then again, what country does Chingy come from?
