Fate: The Best of Death

Noramlly I hate best of/compilation albums for bands that are still active and/or for bands that have been around less than ten years. Here we have just that...except for one thing, its not that bad a compilation, its done quite well.

On Death's previous releases they have tons of great songs of the four albums...and a good many that stand out. This here compilation has managed to capture all the songs that stand out among the barrage of allready good Death songs up to this point. They included the best of Screaming Bloody Gore: Zombie Ritual, Mutilation. The best of Leprosy: Open Casket, Pull the Plug. The best of Human: Suicide Machine, Together As One. They messed up on Spirtual Healing though...the band didn't put on Living Monstrosity, the most powerful song of the band from that album. Aside from that they captured everything up to this point well without polluting the album with 15 plus tracks.

This album is easy to find new and used, for cheap...its a great record you can get for around 5 bucks to see if you will like Death's earlier stuff. Other than this though it serves no purpose. Its put together well...and aside from a missing track or two that should be on here its done well. This though serves no purpose to Death fans who, or will, own death's albums...for that I take off points.
