Sex Drugs and Jesus Christ.......2003-09-12

This was perhaps the last truly great album released by either incarnation of Christian Death. It marks a transitional period from the simple fluff of 80's keyboard/heavy chorus guitar into Valor's more draconian hard edge period. Taken out of context though, it stands as a great experimental sounding album.

Love Valor? Buy this - Love Rozz ? Join Wicca - oh.. you did.......2003-05-02

Christian death is my favorite band... and this is my favorite album. Many could say that the first few tracks are practically a sell out compared to the deep heady material of other albums, i disagree wholeheartedly. "Wretched Mankind" was fundamental to my life and got me through many bad days. But none of this has to do with why i write this review. The review is simply based on the fact that rozz williams gets too much respect. Yes, i liked his music as well, but i seem to be one of the few that truly prefer Valor. Rozz was nothing more than a melodramatic satanist.. doing such umimpressive antics as having a song in which he reads "ereht si on ytic fo dog" - ya. thats "there is no city of god.." read backwards..exactly as it looks.. not even phonetically. This is so juvenile and rebel without a causish that it makes me gag. If you want true feelings.. not immature wannabe satanic gibberish.. the second incarnation of christian death - the one led by the brilliant frontman Valor is your thing - and this is to me the best album. Although any christian death fan should truly own them all. :)

An underatted album...by ANGEL OF GENOCIDE.......2003-03-17

Most people aren't too much into this album although the track " This Is Heresy " got some considerable attention and is a pulse pounding intense goth rock number. Gitane deMone, on her second to last outing with CD ( " Heretics Alive " would be the last ) shines on the the funky " Jesus, Where's the Sugar "
out of control rock song " Erection " and wonderfully trashy goth dance song " Incendinary Lover ". Vaor show his stuff with rock songs like " Wretched Mankind " and " a hundred Thounsand.."
and indulges his experimental side as usual with the " Third Antichrist " and " Window Pain ' which Gitane helps out on. Not the first CD album I would recommend but it's a good one and if u're a fan of EITHER Rozz Williams or Valor and have a growing cataloug, get this. ---ANGEL OF GENOCIDE

Super.......2001-06-08

I know that a lot of people don?t like this C.D album but i think it is one of Christian Death best albums. This record was my first with Christian Death and mayby that?s why i love it so much. They have good mix of very catchy songs and some very dark ones. Some of Valor?s best work is on this album and i think you should buy this one and give it a fair chance.

Gothic pioneers going into heavier directions?.......2001-04-28

Valor's Christian Death has seen many phases, changes, and mutations. Ultimately, `Sex And Drugs And Jesus Christ" was the beginning of a really heavy-edged and ironically simplistic phase of the band. Strangely, there were very few connections to their death rock and gothic milestones of the past, but there was a newfound aggressiveness as portrayed by sharp, metallic heavy guitar riffs and really prominent militaristic beats. "This is Heresy" is perhaps the tune that many people know Christian Death from, since it was relatively successful for them. After over a half of a decade of lush, majestic, flowing gothic compositions, "SADAJC" was Valor's venomous call to arms - an absolute attention-grabber of hateful proportions. Taking aim at organized religion (actually, as Valor always has), this record just seemed to emanate pure misanthropy. In addition to "... Heresy", other standout tracks are "Wretched Mankind", "Erection", and perhaps most importantly, "Incendiary Lover". Looking at that aforementioned list of tracks shows that this CD really has value, but it just doesn't stand out as a classic next to "Atrocities" or "The Scriptures". Sadly, this completely under-produced affair was the last of Valor's studio recordings with Gitane - reportedly since she was so unhappy with the band's new direction as shown on this exact record. This metallic-edged simplistic style, however, continued through "All The Love", "All The Hate", and some portions of "Sexy Death God". "SADAJC" is not really comprehensive as far as an introduction to the world of Christian Death, and it is far from being my favorite release by them. It is not a good first release to buy as a beginner's guide to this wonderful outfit. Nonetheless, for Valor's true fans, it is a document as to where Christian Death was at that moment in time, and for that it's vital to me.
