3 out of 5 stars Mishmash of alternate takes fails to satisfy.......2006-12-08

CD deserve a lot better than this. If you are new to them, this is NOT the place to start: instead, look for Only Theatre of Pain or Catastrophe Ballet in their full length original brilliance...this mish-mash of alternates to the original studio masterpieces will only satisfy the DIE HARD fan who already owns the originals, and wants a remix or is curious to hear the demos. All-n-all, since I am such a fan, I found this a nice treat to compliment the fully satisfying original releases.

2 out of 5 stars Cleopatra records will do anything to make a buck........2005-10-14

You don't put remixes on a "best of" compilation. You just don't. Plus, you don't put songs that don't belong on a "best of" compilation on a "best of" compilation. Whoever threw this thing together was blatantly and insipidly trying to make money off of Rozz's tragic suicide.

Yes, I understand that the troglodyte known as Valor holds rights to "Ashes" and "Catastrophe Ballet," which is EXACTLY why this CD should never have been produced. Without songs from those two albums, you can't have a best of Christian Death. It just isn't possible.

Rozz Williams was a genius. Skip this crap and buy the actual albums - in particular, "Catastrophe Ballet," "Ashes," and "Only Theatre of Pain" - you won't be disappointed, as almost every song is good.

5 out of 5 stars "Best" is up for review, but a #1 place to start.......2005-02-06

This CD is a fantastic place to start if your new to Christian Death. It covers alot of great material and from start to finish theres nothing to skip by.

There seems to be alot of talk about if it's the "Best of" or not but this is all relative to the listener and honestly you really cant go wrong with this CD if you want to explore the flavor or Christian Death.

This is definitely just a start though, Rozz's work with Christian Death along with all of his other releases (solo, shadow project etc.) are pretty vast but all recommended.

In short, definitely get this if your exploring Rozz's works but keep in mind "Best" is a relative word and you may find alot better out there.

4 out of 5 stars Great album but lacking some songs..........2003-03-25

Much material from " Ashes ", " Catastrophe Ballet " are not here, more from " Path of Sorrows ' could have been included...
and one of my FAVORITE Rozz Williams songs " Spectre " is absent! but otherwise a good start for someone not familar with Williams. But please don't limit your exploration of this artist
to JUST Christian Death. Reccomended!

5 out of 5 stars Top Notch Rozz Work.......2002-05-02

In my opinion, these songs are some of the best work that Rozz has ever done with the band Christian Death. Excellent musical pieces like Romeo's Distress, Haloes, Figurative Theatre, Spiritual Cramp, some of them are among the first Christian Death songs i have ever heard. An excellent album! Buy it now! All of us who have heard your great music we miss you Rozz! R.I.P.!
