Fury in the Slaughterhouse, I think, are the best rock band in the world right now, with a diverse collection of influences and a ton of musical styles. It's impossible to catagorize Fury, but they're a sort of decadent German rock that takes the best of U2, INXS, Echo & The Bunnymen and The Rolling Stones, blends them all together and comes up with something totally new and inventive. "Super Fury" is the best compilation to tell you how big of a Fury fan you are. If you want to get a sampling of the band to decide if you're one of the hardcore like the rest of us, this is it. If you want to know what the band sounds like on some of its best songs, this is it. I can't highly recommend this album enough. If I went to a desert island, this is one of the two albums I'd take with me. It's just that good. Buy it now. Absolutely now. Make Fury as popular here in the states as they are in their homeland of Germany.

'Super Fury' is a compelation which will please absolutely anyone who likes good music. It's a collection including all of FITS's hits making it very easy for a first-time listener to get to know Fury. It has to be said, however, that it offers very little for old fans like myself who have already bought the majority of their albums. The included re-mixes of the band's biggest hits offer something new but are in no way as good as the originals. I would have rated this album higher had the band put more effort in these re-mixes. Never the less, this is still a very good album and I sencerely recommend it (especially to those people out there who have never had the pleasure of listening to Fury in the Slaughterhouse).

I've always thought Fury's music deserved better recognition in the United States. It's sad that very few have ever heard of the band at all.

This is probably the best collection of Fury songs you will ever be able to find in one place. However, it's not perfect. I would rather have had more normal songs included instead of the remixes. One or two of the remixes aren't bad but they seem out of place on the album. More material from the Brilliant Thieves album would have made this perfect. However, if you want to buy one album that represents what Fury is about this would be a great start.

I'd easily give this 5 stars if the song selection had been just slightly better.

I have the same problem as many other fans of Fury--they can't be compared to anyone. REM? Neil Young? Matthew Sweet? All right, and all wrong.
I've given away dozens of copies of MONO and this album to try and spread the word about this incredible group, and that seems to work better than all my attempts to tell my friends "Well, they're kind of like..."
I love Rush, Warren Zevon, Jethro Tull...and all of those bands have something at their heart I feel in Fury.
Enough babbling--these boys are the real deal...rock and roll. It is truly evidence of the shameful state of the modern music biz that these guys are not HUGE.
(Note--I'd rate this 5 stars but the muzak remix of Radio Orchid is a blight on this album. I even burned a replacement CD with it excised for my set.)
