Editorial Reviews

The ultimate collection of goth, industrial, and alternative tracks, selected personally by Dave Ogilvie of Skinny Puppy. Features loving tributes to the era with Alkaline Trio's raging remake of Sisters Of Mercy's "Lucretia My Reflection" and Atmosphere's ominous "Don't Know How Much". Free Suicide Girls poster in every package. This is the perfect alternative dance party soundtrack.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good 80's goth/industrial mix tape, October 7, 2005

This review is from: Suicide Girls: Black Heart Retrospective (Audio CD)

Most of these songs were recorded during the 80's so you've probably already heard them before. If not, you may be surprised at what Ministry and the Cure used to sound like. This is a pretty good introduction to some of the better bands of the goth/industrial genre, but all you kids out there wearing Joy Division T-shirts already knew that. Right? Anyway, many of these bands such as NIN and Echo and the Bunnymen are still making quality tunes so check them out. Also take the time to introduce yourself to the vastly underrated Sister's of Mercy who's "Lucretia My Reflection" is just taken to a whole new level of genius by the similarly underrated Alkaline Trio. Enough with the homage. Buy this and check out the Suicide Girls.

I liked most of this cd, but I don't know what was up with sticking a rap song at the end of a goth/industrial comp? I really like Alkaline Trio's cover of Lucretia My Reflection.

This review is from: Suicide Girls: Black Heart Retrospective (Audio CD)

This is a GREAT compilation cd with a lot of great highlights of my favorite bands, with the exception of the cover of Lucretia My Reflection. Alkaline Trio is a great band, but they completely sucked the life out of this great Sisters of Mercy song. As far as I know, all the other songs on here are done by the original bands (I could be wrong), but this sticks out. It is totally lifeless compared to the original version. Otherwise, all the rest are great (mostly 1980s) moody, yet upbeat, songs. This is a good "listen to in the rain" cd!! It's worth buying.
