5.0 out of 5 stars Earth Crisis at their best (with a sense of humor), September 30, 2006

By	The Dilettante "Dilly!" - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Earth Crisis was always insufferably humorless. Their puritanical intolerance was a welcome antidote to the spineless value relativism of the 1990s, but they took themselves WAY too seriously, and as a result, it is hard to continue to appreciate their original material as an adult.

Slither, their only "grown-up" record, lacked the confidence necessary for growth through experimentation, and you could tell the band was about to fall apart when the promo photo showed Karl wearing a faux-leather jacket. A shame, but at least they knew when to stop.

The lack of any original material (or, much, anyway) is what makes this album so fantastic. A bit of critical distance from the songs allowed them to take risks and be playful. Holiday in Cambodia, as performed here by EC, is my favorite hardcore track of all time and showcases these guys as musicians at the height of their talents.

I am persistently irritated by the fact that the songs here are indexed out of order, both on the jacket and the cd data track, but its not enough of a flaw to pass on this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome cover album, August 14, 2001

By	M. Loughlin (Good Ole USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album was awesome. Though it doesn't sport new Earth Crisis material it has some awesome covers of Slayer, Dead kennedy's, Rolling Stones, Led zeppelin, and Black Sabbath songs. I loved Holiday In Cambodia when DK did it but Earth Crisis just made the song that much more intense. The same goes for The Wanton Song, and Paint It Black. I'm a huge Earth Crisis fan and if you wanna hear them tearing away at some older songs this is it. It maybe nothing new but it sure is intense as far as the covered material goes.

1.0 out of 5 stars horrible, February 13, 2009

By	Brian Bachisin "Unhappy buyer" (NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not only did I received this disc without a cover, but the disc doesn't even work. I emailed the sender and got no response. I'm still waiting....
