4.0 out of 5 stars Alcoholic Metal after 25 years!, August 8, 2008

By	Justin Gaines "Corporate Rocker" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Now here's a compilation worth raising your glass to! Beer-swilling German thrashers Tankard celebrated their 25th anniversary in 2007 by releasing the retrospective Best Case Scenario: 25 Years in Beers.

Best Case Scenario provides a decent, if not very comprehensive, overview of Tankard's alcohol-obsessed career. It basically covers material from 1986-95, including three songs from Zombie Attack, two from Chemical Invasion, two from the Alien EP, the title track from The Morning After, two songs from The Meaning of Life, one from Stone Cold Sober, two from Two Faced, and one from The Tankard. There's also a medley that combines four different songs. This is a great overview of the early Tankard sound, but I have to wonder why nothing from the past decade was included. Still, Best Case Scenario is a fun compilation, and is perfect for those who might not want to buy all of the band's (let's face it, repetitive) studio albums.

If you love old school thrash metal, particularly those early Anthrax albums, and wish that every song could be about alcohol fueled mayhem, it's time for some Tankard, and Best Case Scenario is the best way to get your fix!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Recopilation, June 2, 2009

By	Florencio Menceyra - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Tankard is a great German Thrash band on the more dirty side, like Kreator, Destruction or Sodom and not as melodic as Helloween, Rage, Gamma Ray, etc. For those who haven't heard of them before, this is great album to get started wit since it basically includes all of Tankard's best songs!
