4.0 out of 5 stars The beAst of the Thrill Kill Kult?, March 9, 2005

I can imagine it was difficult to put this collection together, seeing that some of their albums are quite different from each other. But whether their songs are sexy, satanic, or just fun to dance to, alot of the good stuff is here. With a best of, you can really only complain about what's missing, though everything included here is at least good. So where is "X-communication", "Sexplosion", "Blue Buddha", and "Glamour Is A Rocky Road"? I know it may just be my opinion, but come on. Anyway, look at this disc as a sampling of the band, and then get the album that would then be most to your liking. "I See Good Spirits and I See Bad Spirits" is the most evil, "Confessions Of A Knife" is the most industrial sounding, "Sexplosion" is the sexiest (duh), "13 Above The Night" is a good mix, and "Hit and Run Holiday" is just fun. Whatever you do, join The Kult.

4.0 out of 5 stars A weird proposition, July 25, 2007

How do you choose tracks for a 'best-of' compilation for a band that never had more than a handful of proper singles? So many of TKK's album tracks sound like singles anyway, it's hard to pick which ones should go on a compilation--so many of them are that good. Not to mention that the band has such a dual personality (B-movie Satanism and electro-disco).

Since this is a single-disc set, a lot is left off of it. Strangely, some of the actual singles are missing here, most noticeably "Blue Buddha". There's also no "Sexplosion!" either. But there are interesting choices, like the lead-off track "13 Above the Night". There are three tracks from "Reincarnation of Luna", but only one from "Crime For All Seasons"--surely they could have put on "Blue Buddha" instead of one of the "Luna" tracks?

On the plus side, there are some excellent edit versions here that cut down on the runtime of the tracks and make them tighter. The biggest difference is in "Cuz It's Hot", which originally ran for over ten minutes. "Devil Bunnies" runs better too, a nice clean edit.

I also notice a problem with "Kooler Than Jesus" on this comp. It's as if there was a compression problem, the beats sound slightly erratic to me, like a record on a turntable that's not exactly centered. Maybe that's just me, but I can't even listen to it. The artwork seems rushed through production.

I agree with the reviewer who questioned the absence of Blue Buddha! 13 Above The Night is my favorite TKK album. I know that makes me sort of an oddball as Confession of a Night is probably more in line with what TKK sound like. I wish Final Blindess was included in this collection. It was my favorite song from 13 Above the night. Otherwise I have no complaints. This is a great collection. I'm glad to see 'Cuz it's Hot!!!
