95.00 Most under rated of all the 'Big 4'. This album is among the best that any of them done. All killer, no filler. One of the greatest thrash albums ever released hands down. Every song is just pure brilliance.

90.93* I was 17. A bloke I worked with raved constantly about the DK's. While at a market I came across a DK's 'Halloween' t-shirt. It was fantastic. Bought the shirt before I'd even heard the band. Great insight as this was the first of there albums I got. Loved it and they became and still are one of my favorite bands. All hail the DK's. Even though it's a compilation only 'Uber Alles' & 'Holiday in Cambodia' were on other studio albums, so unless you were a great fan who had all the singles, you wouldn't have had what's on offer here. I've never got sick of this and still enjoy it every time I hear it. High energy, intellectually thought provoking & brilliantly piss taking. Well worthy to have in any collection 05/25

85.41 The better of all commercial rock to come out. This oozes cool. It has a edge and finesse that most other commercial bands fail in achieving. Loaded with shit hot tracks. 02/25

84.16 One of the better debut albums out there. Solid right through and setting there name in legendary status. It is truly a great album. As for the band, it was all downhill from there as all other albums had the odd great song but were mainly filler. They don't deserve the accolades that have been heaped upon them.

80.00 Sound of their own. Steady throughout. Skate thrash. Fucking great. It was the song 'Possessed to Skate' off this that introduced me to them. 10/23

80.00 Classic sounding NWOBHM, but done by Germans. Not a top tier metal album but well above average. 'Future World' having one of the best ever singalong choruses. Personally I think Keeper Part 2 is way superior. 11/24

Singer/songwriter Americana rock isn't really my gig. But this surprised me with how good it was. Can't knock John when he still had the Cougar in him 05/24

This is what the Cult sound like. Unmistakable. The 'hits' are the best songs on this album. No hidden deep cut gems. Rest is alright but nothing spectacular

79.181* I've always had a bit of an anti towards U2. Probably due to their commercialism. But I must say, this is a decent album. Front heavy with the hits, but what great hits they are. Understandable why this album elevated them to a whole new level. 12/25

77.715* Wasn't sure what to make of this initially as I'm a bit dubious of instrumental albums. But didn't take long to fully warm. One of the best solo shredder albums with good rhythms and variety to keep it interesting 12/25
