this album is a collection of songs from the selftitled album,is nothing sacred? and the method to our madness.All in all its a decent album but if you want to buy a great album get there self titled album.its a little more expensive as its on import but is way better and has a punkier edge that this cd lacks.
the standout tracks are russian roulette,open your eyes,new church and lords prayer(the first 3 on the self titled cd).
if u allready own the self titled album by this as it has a wide variety of there stuff and about 7 b-sides.

I bought this album on the grounds that I like the Damned and Sham 69 whose Brian James and Dave Treganna went on to form Lords of the New Church with Stiv Bators from the Dead Boys and Nicky Turner from the Barracudas. Having never heard any of the Lords' stuff before I bought it, I was expecting an album of fast thrashy punk...boy was I wrong there!
Nevertheless, despite the fact that this sounded nothing like I thought it would, I still enjoyed it. "New Church" and "Russian Roulette" are great with Brian James' menacing guitar lines underpinned nicely by Bators' vocals while "M-Style" and especially "Dance With Me" just go to show what a great frontman Stiv was. Take a look, you won't be disappointed.

Really Good, But Some Odd Selections
19 Mar 2004
By Borne Too Loose
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This was my first experience into the Lords music. Being a huge Stiv/Dead Boys fan, after the initial shock at the format/content changes, the songs became mainstays in my CD lineup. However, as I grew as a fan, I began to realize how a number of these selections, "Opening Nightmares," "Dreams and Desires," "A Gun Called Justice," and "Hey Tonight" are all good songs, there are more "Lordsy" songs that should've been included. "Pretty Baby Scream," "Partners In Crime," and the biggest omission, "Livin' on Livin'," are all selections that are much better representations of who the Lords were: A great garage band, exploring new territories all the time. The other included tracks that I felt should've been omitted seemed more like studio experiments and corporate pushes ("Like a Virgin, anyone?) All in all, a pretty good anthology and great introduction into the Lords of the New Church and who they were. "Killer Lords" is a great first CD, but their self-titled debut is where the listener starts to see what kind of band they were. Turner and James inherently playing surf rock, Tregunna on bass with some of the tastiest and simplest riffs, and of course, Stiv Bators, one of the greatest frontmen ever.

HEY TONIGHT THROW THIS ON

Always ahead of their time, it would be great if the Lords of the New Church found their time now. The CD combines the raw and the polished Lords. It just gets better with age.

Good but could have been Great!

For anyone who has never been exposed to the L.O.T.N.C. this is a good place to start. Their first (and best) album is out on CD but the other two (Method to our Madness and Is Nothing Sacred) are out of print. This CD has some unreleased songs and B-sides that would be better replaced by some of the better tunes from the two out of print CD's. Since this (Best of) CD came out right after their third CD it was appropriate material at that time. In hindsight the two out of print discs should have been better represented. I would like to see a new best of CD but I'm not sure there's enough public interest to warrent one? Either way if your curious you will find plenty to interest you here. If you really like what you hear then buy there first CD and search out the other two on vinyl or tape. I think you'll be completly entertained.
