3 out of 5 stars Missing a vital track..........2003-01-04

This anthology of The Lords Of The New Church is drastically missing one of their greatest and most successful songs - "Open Your Eyes." I recommend instead that you attempt to track down the self-titled debut, as it has the band's best and most popular songs on it. The Lords Of The New Church are a fantastic and more light hearted example of the great heyday of early Goth and Post Punk music, and they will make a very important addition to your collection. This Anthology is a good start if the debut CD is that difficult to find.

5 out of 5 stars Lords of the New church-Anthology.......2001-06-07

Being an anthology, this is nothing true Lords fans haven't already heard before, however being a remastered recording, it does have better mixes and sound quality. Also, it is better than the mid-80s "Killer Lords" compilation as it has a better song selection. These songs represent the Lords career as a whole and aside from the one Lords "mistake" (redoing Madonnas "Like a Virgin"...what were they thinking?) it is a fantastic view of "Goth" music in it's early days and is highly recommended to anyone out there who wants a peek into some great 80s tunes by a highly underrated band. Being a French import, all the liner notes are in French but that is to be expected with any import. Rest in Peace Stiv...you certainly earned it.

5 out of 5 stars the LORDS REMASTERED.......2000-09-05

This Anthology is an awesome way to turn the young on to the LORDS. The majority of the collection featured here is from the Lords First album, which definitely utilizes the remaster! While it sounds incredible on the home stereo , it may be too sonic for the car unit. LORDS to me represent everything Rock n Roll could be. That's saying alot when you consider it came from the early 80's. At that time there was no such title as Goth, but the LORDS indeed created the DarkWave for which the new era surfed in. case in point? www.members.home.net/aaron3/lustkillers

5 out of 5 stars ADJECTIVAL RECTIFICATION: PUNK OR GOTH?.......2000-05-26

I think most people in their 30's would agree there was no Goth in the early 80's when The Lords of The New Church were in their heyday. Goth is a 90's phenomenon. In the 80's there was Punk. Although some people might argue that punk was a 70's thing. They might also argue that punk, as such, is a British phenomenon...and that here in the states, we only saw a watered-down version of it.

I prefer to think that what we (American teens of the early 80's) had, was NEW WAVE PUNK. Remember there were a number of things going on at the same time. There was Adam Ant, which some consider Glam Punk. There was Nina Hagen, which some consider Hip Punk. There was Black Flag / Henry Rollins, DEVO, and X, which some consider the true sound of Punk Rock in America. Plus a few others: Lene Lovich, Lori Anderson, VooDoo Church, Slow Children, Siouxie Sioux and the Banshees, The Clash, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera!

So, with the semantics out of the way...and regardless of what you wish to call The Lords of The New Church, we can talk about their music and personae. Great guitar sounds! Great lyrics that told of everything that's wrong with the government, national defense, society, religion, economy and the world in general! Tough Punk sound with just enough rhythm to make it danceable! The melancholy voice of Stev Bator! Black leather, chains & spandex fetishes! Black Kohl eyeliner (in the great tradition of Alice Cooper, Mick Jagger and Kevin Ayers)! Shoulder length hair to express rebellion, but not too long as to be confused with heavy metal types.

This anthology is a good sampling of The Lords' work. It contains songs from 3 or 4 separate albums. I bought this anthology to have something for those nostalgic moments. When, against all better judgement, I wish I could go back to those PUNK-OUT days.
