4.0 out of 5 stars Anything But Agony, November 19, 2003

By	"[e-mail]" (Tacoma, WA United States) - See all my reviews

I'd heard of New York's Life Of Agony, but hadn't actaully heard their soul crunching music until recently. Turns out, I was missing a very potent blend of heavy riffs and heartfelt vocals that gets better every listen. These guys were and probably still are a huge underground band. Songs like the chugging and aptly titled "Underground" and the ripping "Bad Seed" show not only early C.O.C. and Anthrax type riffs, but adding melodicism to go with it. In no way do Keith Kaputo's mellow contributions "My Mind...." and "Angry Tree" sound any less important than the groove of "Here I Am." In short, a great CD from start to finish. Don't be left out.

4.0 out of 5 stars why we need this, January 28, 2004

By	Tim (Tampa, Florida) - See all my reviews

OK - leprechaun40 from rahway, nj USA states that "Best of/ Greatest hits albums are never endorsed by the band." Alan robert (bass - songwriter) did this Best Of cover. "Generally these albums are used to fulfill a contract and the band sees no royalties from any greatest hits or best of albums." Yes, bands sometimes need to fullfil contractual obligations with a GH album but they most certainly see royalties on these releases. Look at your local record store ... if these stores stocked all of LOA's titles you wouldn't need this Best Of. But because they don't - LOA need this record out there. And this is a good one!
