Full review
This 40-track double CD compilation showcases the cream of the current crop, with heavy emphasis on US acts. There's a definite bias towards the thrashier, trashier end of metal this is heavyweight genre stuff. There's not much humour in evidence either; this type of music takes itself deadly seriously.
It isn't all ranting and raging; for every Hatebreed and Spineshank there's a Lacuna Coil or an Ill Niño, and the latter's When It Cuts is one of the high points of the album.
As with any compilation, there's good and bad, and enough variation to avoid pleasing anyone all of the time. But with 40 tracks for the price of a single CD, this is one Ball worth getting dressed up for!
Can you really ask for more?
