3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what it is billed as., April 5, 2004

This double album is advertised as a collection of the post-Cronos years. It is actually a haphazard collection of two albums and live versions of older songs. "The Collection" is a mid-price comp. of the same period, and has a better track selection. Get that one instead!

I've liked Venom at least for their At War With Satan album. I like their simplicity and crudeness. Unfortunately, this two CD set contains the most bland and faceless tunes I've ever heard in one place. Nothing against the band but they seriously need a songwriter. I understand this is a collection of this and that and it shows. I've tried to get into the album but after five listens all the way through, I cannot remember a single cut, except for the chorus to the In memory of... whatever. There are not too many albums that can assemble so many songs that are instantly forgettable. This in no way compares to their earlier work.

Not recommended. Get one of their earlier albums.
