4 out of 5 stars bought for nostalgia maybe; but I still really like it!.......2006-12-19

I got this via Amazon UK. It's well worth it if you owned the original vinyl LP as I did and IF you liked it.
I'm a mid-western guy and this music appealed to the KISS Army in me.

"Under the Table", "Cross Country" and the great cover of Golden Earring's "Candy's Going Bad" are 3 classic hard rock tracks.
"Side one" isn't bad either....
I haven't heard the "bonus tracks" yet. I am on my 2nd spin thru the first album.---okay I put 'Luv Kage' on...I Like It! Very KISS-like.

I never expected to see the Godz on compact disc. I don't know what someone at Black Rose Records in Germany is thinking but I am happy he gave a green light to put the Godz 1st album and most of the 2nd (which I only have on cassette) on disc.

The transfer isn't perfect but geez my Casablanca copy was no gold disc either.

Power Rock from USA Indeed. Rockers don't ignore this classic slice of Hard Road Rock'n'Roll!

5 out of 5 stars The Godz are rock and roll machines!.......2006-11-18

From the early 70s until now I've played in bands, seen bands, watched bands, listened to bands, reviewed concerts and albums. I've honest-to-goodness seen or heard literally thousands upon thousands of bands.

I don't think I'm overly picky or critical or anything. My standards aren't particularly low, either.

I really like the Godz. Have since their first album came out. I liked the second one more than the first one, but they were both good. This collection is a combination of stuff from both of ther first two LPs.

The Godz ain't gonna rewrite the book on anything. What they are gonna do is give you an album that's a boatload (or, in the case of the Godz, a bikeload) of fun to listen to - start to finish - every time you listen to it.

On their first LP, they even redo a couple Golden Earring tunes, the most respectable of which is Candy's Going Bad.

Can't go wrong with the Godz. Period.

4 out of 5 stars CAN YOU SAY GREAT "BAR BAND"???.......2005-12-18

The Godz were a staple in Columbus during the '70s. They were by far the most popular bar band in, and around, the Ohio State University. The Godz were a really terrific show to see. They laid it on the line every night. Nothing fancy. Nothing artsy-fartsy. Just a group of guys assaulting your senses with hard-driving, in-your-face, guitar-based rock and roll. And, judging by the huge crowds at the Columbus Agora, Varsity Club, and numerous other places up and down High Street (yes, that is its real name...), people loved them. 'Gotta Keep a Runnin' is really a very good rock pseudo-anthem. Cool song. '714', 'Under the Table' and 'Go Away' are pretty cool, too. Plus, the cover of Golden Earring's, 'Candy's Goin Bad' is OFF THE CHARTS!!! This album is well worth having. Just take it for what it is. Oh, and if any of the Godz read this, how about a REUNION?????

5 out of 5 stars Great Rock n' Roll.......2005-10-09

The Godz had to be seen live to be fully comprehended. The studio album output only scratches at the surface of what is was like to see The Godz brand of molten high intensity rock n' roll. I truly miss this kind of fun and intensity.

This CD unfortunately is an import (potential boot)and I'm not sure how much (if any) royalties that Eric Moore and Chatfield see from this.

A great album from one of the underrated great rock bands.

3 out of 5 stars Decent hard rock.......2005-06-14

Ha! I remember The Godz! A friend of mine had this album and we used to bug another friend (big Genesis fan) by playing Gotta Keep a Runnin'. The song has this goofy singing part: "The Gods are Rock and Roll Machines" It annoyed him to no end.
