This collection of rare and unreleased material is pretty good. Everything from the ultra heavy &Godlike& (featuring the late William Tucker, may he rest in peace) to the more dancey, funky numbers that old-school KMFDM are known for. This album plays like a greatest-hits, which is funny because all of the songs on this are over a decade old (all pre-Angst). While ultra old-school fans would definitely dig this CD, the new-school ones shouldn't be turned off by it, either; it's a very consistent and fun album and has a certain &polished& feel that one doesn't really expect from KMFDM's older material. &The Zip& (an unreleased track) is probably one of the funniest dance tracks ever heard. It has a man talking about how he is going to &get into the zip,& the zip being the zipper on your pants. The song &Godlike,& on the other hand, is the highly political, ultra-heavy industrial rock that KMFDM have come to be known for since Angst. If you like KMFDM, this is a great addition to anyone's collection and should not be passed by.
