4 out of 5 stars Retro Look at Psychobilly Pioneers.......2007-01-23

This best of gives you everything you're looking for from the Meteors, who, like The Cramps, put swamp rock psychobilly heaven on the map. This overview includes some of their best singles, including the crowd pleasing, foot stomping punky tinged "Mutant Rock." Although they are not nearly as adept at providing the familiar blues infused romp like their American counterparts, this IS the best from over the pond, and their b-movie horror flick tinged lyrics confirm it. A must for any serious collection.

5 out of 5 stars Only The Meteors.......2003-10-19

The Meteors invented Psychobilly. The Cramps may say that they did but The Meteors are "IT" The have some of the catchiest songs I have ever heard. Listen to Chainsaw Boogie, The Crazed, Rockabilly Psychosis, and Shout So Loud. They are extremely well written songs, and very catchy. You can't truly say that you are a psychobilly fan if you don't have at least one favorite Meteors album. For a good album pick up "In Heaven".
