It seems compilation CDs are a dime a dozen these days. Finally, Nuclear Blast has jumped on the bandwagon. It's diverse though. You have hard rock and metal artists represented here. On the lighter side you have Mr. Big's To Be With You and Skid Row's hit 18 And Life. On the heavier side as Iced Earth's I Died For You and Steel Prophet's Earth & Sky add some juice. Good production, as the disc is rounded out by Helloween, Blind Guardian and Bonfire. Not the best compilation out there, but it is pretty cool coming from such an extreme metal label. Nice packaging too with it's CD in a box type deal, which is always an extra when you can get it. Check it out if you can.
