If the reviewers below read the description of this product before buying it, then they have no reason to complain.

#1 - It says it is a live cd/dvd package. Which means it has live songs on it. How can you complain about getting a repeat of Swan Songs when it clearly is a live release and that was their only album to date. Of coursae there is songs from Swan Song live. You get additional tracks and a remix.

#2 - How can a band be considered desperate for money just because they release something that the real fans of the band would want.

#3 - It's a cd/dvd package. Of course the second cd isn't going to work. Take the dunce hat off, take the second cd out of your cd player, and put it in your DVD player.

Personally this is what I think...

Pros:

a few new great songs.
Cool new album artwork.

Cons:

Most of the songs you will get are repeats from swan songs.
lots of the songs are live not studio recorded.
seems like they just want to make money by selling you a cd that you already own (if you own swan songs) and adding a few extras in there that is not worth the money.

Second CD of the set, which is included in the package is bad and won't work at all. So I paid for two CD's but got one.

I wouldn't say everyone should run out and buy this unless you're a fan that wants the live versions of songs, a remix, and a few covers. The dvd is a great addition. I thoroughly enjoy it but I'm also a big fan.

This is the best CD i've bought to date!!!! I listen to this CD everyday when i leave work and anytime i want to get pumped up!!!

In this CD, Hollywood Undead basically gives you their Swan Songs album with a few horrible new songs. Every attempt at a song that HU makes on this album can't even compare to Swan Songs. I loved swan songs, so this review is not coming from a hater by any means. I listened to Swan Songs nonstop for months after I bought it months back.

Ive purchased all three cds from this group,and except for Undead and Been to hell,the rest sounds like crap. This band should not be listed as rapcore, as I feel that with two songs on three cds there should be more of what Ive come to know as rapcore.All the rest is just a bunch of crap,take off your masks and go home.Hollywood Undead is like Kiss on really bad drugs,and I thought they at least put out some good music. No offence to thoes Kiss fans,I was an army member at one time. Well that was a long time ago and the drugs where better also. Dont waste your money, find somebody else to listen too.

This was okay. I have given it more than one listen and there are a couple of songs that are quite catchy. However; I was not impressed.

Hollywood Undead is about ten years too late with there gimmick. While I do enjoy there first album, it kicks off strong with Undead but after that it's basically the same song over and over again with different lyrics. Desperate Measures is a stop gap album (an album released between studio releases to keep fans happy) and it shows. Ive seen this band live and I dont remember it being bad but nothing i'd run and go tell everyone about. The cover songs are pretty bad as well. I wouldnt recommend this cd to anyone, although I do know there is some hardcore Hollywood Undead fans out there, and just wait for there new album which should be released.

I bought Swan Songs when it first came out and have been waiting on pins and needles for HU to release some new music and even though this is mostly a live CD the new songs "Dove and Grenade" and "Tear It Up" are worth it. I was though not to impressed with the cover songs they included, maybe they will grow on me but as of now I think those could have been left out and some more live songs put in place. As for the live portion of this CD I think they sound even better! Also the live version of "Undead" is slightly different than there Swan Songs version. Also watched the DVD and all I have to say about it is that I pictured the HU crew to look a bit different but I still like their music regardless of how they look. I hope every HU fan gets a copy of this CD, it's great!
