2 out of 5 stars oh man... rehashed with a "new" twist.......2005-07-28

hate to say it, but this album pretty much sucks!! you should not tread on classics. the problem is that these songs did not age well.. terrible lyrics aside, this singer tries too hard to spruce up these songs. very easy stuff to play and very blahh! the saving grace in exciter was always dan beehlers screaching voice. thats what added some energy. but without him, this is seen for what it really is...crap...
sorry guys, used to love these songs, but i think the bad production on the early releases may have helped! and the fact that the band is empty in terms of new material is sad... think its finally time to hang it up john ricci! it was never that great to begin with. the goal should be to GROW!!! pass...
PS- 2 stars is because of the memories... not this...

4 out of 5 stars some good some bad.......2004-12-20

Best thing about this cd is the choice of songs....they really did choose probably the best Exciter songs. The production is not great, but this CD is very heavy, fast, and the songs are great.
The only original member is John Ricci. I have like Exciter since 1983, but only the original lineup. This is the first I have heard them without Dan Beehler singing. Belanger is a very talented singer, but a bit too Halford/Udo for me....he gets too "opera" sometimes, but still not bad. The drumming is very strong too. John Ricci plays both bass and guitar. The bass is not much of a factor here...you don't hear it much. Now his guitar playing....Ricci is one of my favourite players of all time, but I find that he has lost some of his soloing technique. He seems to struggle a bit....if you compare the original recordings to these ones, the original solos are far better...heavier, more powerful etc. But in the end, these CD has got me back into Exciter and reminded me of how good a band they were/are.

5 out of 5 stars The best Exciter record EVER!.......2004-07-31

Vocalist Jacques Belanger has brought this group of Heavy Metal Maniacs back from the dead...on the last couple of studio releases and this "greatest hits' disc he elevates what were somewhat dated metal anthems into classics.

John Ricci proves that he is one of the founding fathers of thrash metal, and plays non stop power chords like mad.

If you liked the old EXCITER stuff, you're going to love the recovered stuff, it's killer....

4 out of 5 stars Just the beginning..........2004-07-23

Exciter's current line-up has been stabilized with this current studio effort! The album brings a fresh and modern sound to a mix of thrash-metal classics! Without a doubt these hidden treasures should be exposed to the metal fans at large. This album is only the beginning, and I look forward to Exciter's next full length studio effort. Long Live The Loud!!!!

3 out of 5 stars warning.......2004-07-02
