Review:
Six of the Texas legend’s first seven albums in one shot. Deguello was left out because it had already been released on CD at that point. These were the albums that cemented ZZ Top’s status as a great Texas blues band. ZZ Top purists hate this release though, because it was remixed, remastered, and new electronic drum effects were added, and some songs were faded out early. I, not knowing the difference, appreciate having six albums all in one shot for a cheap price.

Another one ‘borrowed’ from a friend. I’ve had this CD for so long I couldn’t part with it now. My first exposure to the Wu-Tang, and its got a decent LL Cool J song on it too (Loungin).

Review:
This is pretty much a who’s-who in nu-metal taking on some of the WWF’s wrestler theme songs. Some, like the tracks from Boyhitscar, Disturbed, Sevendust, Saliva and OLP hit the mark, the others leave a bit to be desired.
