4.0 out of 5 stars Top quality compliation of later Sisters material, 25 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A Slight Case of Overbombing: Greatest Hits Vol.1 (Audio CD)
Overbombing covers a slightly patchy time in the Sister's career from First And Last And Always through to Vision Thing and their newer singles. This means that classics like Lucretia nestle alongside promising newer material such as Under The Gun, but also the slightly iffy Detonation Boulevard and Dr Jeep. For the long term fan its only real appeal is the first two tracks which are not available on other albums, but for a newcomer its quite a good introduction.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoy the Bombast..., 1 April 2011
By 
This review is from: A Slight Case of Overbombing: Greatest Hits Vol.1 (Audio CD)
Some SoM purists have sneered at this compilation (just check out some of the reviews here) but do not be deterred: this is one seriously good selection of proud moments. There's a real energy and power as the setlist rips through Under the Gun, Vision Thing, Mine, Lucretia, Dominion and This Corrosion at breakneck pace. Stick it on, and let it unroll right through to the end - no fillers here.

4.0 out of 5 stars HEAVY WEIGHT OFFERING FROM SISTERS..., 1 Feb 2011
By 
J. McCarraher "James" (South Coast) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Slight Case of Overbombing: Greatest Hits Vol.1 (Audio CD)
This is a fascinating offering presenting full length (and considerably overblown) versions of some of the Sisters best songs. It is not as easy on the ear as say Floodlands due to the pomposity of the collection, but it is none the less very appealing. Hussey gives all the songs revisited here 110%, bolstering earlier, 'lighter' recordings with extended choruses and beefier production. Great fun and very intense!
