4.0 out of 5 stars Great One Disc Album......, March 20, 2005
By 
"The Woj" (Downers Grove, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Human Being Lawnmower: Baddest & Maddest of Mc5 (Audio CD)
However the release of the new "Purity, Accuracy" 6 cd box renders this album pretty much obsolete. The music here is great and the sound quality is very good; but most, if not all, the tracks here are included in the box set. If you already own all the official releases, as well as the "Big Bang: Best Of" album, my advice would be to take a pass here and save your bucks for the "Purity" box. If you're on a tight budget and just need more MC5, then this release will satisfy.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the better postumous MC5 releases., June 10, 2002
By 
L Salisbury (Maryland United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Human Being Lawnmower: Baddest & Maddest of Mc5 (Audio CD)
The problem with these rarities compilations of the MC5 and the Stooges is they usually just coast on the band's legend while releasing [poor] quallity live recordings and demos. The new MC5 retro is a rare exception. While it may not be as essential as "Babes In Arms" this one does have excellent quallity out takes & altrernitive takes from "KIck Out the Jams"! That same show produced a cover of Ray Charles' "I believe to my soul" which, up until now, has not even been availible as a bootleg! (Other outkates from "Jams" not yet availible are "looking at you", "black to comm" and Screamin' Jay's "I put a spell on you.") Also, you get the alts of "Moter City's burnin'" and "rama lama fa faf fa". The rest of the CD is more or less the usual mediocer stuff usually associated with comps like these but die hard MC5 fans (like myself) will want this for the "Jams" outtakes. You'll be so pleased with those you'll forgive the rest of the album.

3.0 out of 5 stars MC 5 - 'Human Being Lawnmower:The Baddest&Maddest Of The MC 5' (Total Energy), March 28, 2006
This review is from: Human Being Lawnmower: Baddest & Maddest of Mc5 (Audio CD)
Fourteen track compilation pretty much for the completists only.Not a bad collection,it's just that many long-time MC5 fans will likely already have most,if not all these cuts.Several that I liked best were the heavy rocker "Looking At You","Rama La Fa Fa Fa",the studio out-take for "American Ruse" and the 19-minute epic,drawn out "I'm Mad Like Eldridge Cleaver".Semi-recommended.However,I would first listen to sound clips off this disc where ever you could find some,then make your decision from there.
