Death - Fate: The Best of Death

A pretty crappy Best Of - 30%

stormcrusher, March 13th, 2006

This is just a poorly put together "best of" album for Death. About half the songs on here could have been replaced with much better ones, and some of the songs that are excluded kind of make you think, "the guy who put this together must have smoked some bad crack".
First off, I have a problem with the fact there's only two songs off Human represented here, and the best two (Flattening of Emotions and Lack of Comprehension) aren't even here. I would have taken off Together As One and put those there. Leprosy is represented with three songs: Open Casket, Left To Die, and Pull The Plug. Once again, this has you screaming "WHERE'S LEPROSY?" I think many would agree the self-titled song is the best off the album. Their first and very well respected Scream Bloody Gore album is represented with three songs as well: Zombie Ritual, Mutilation, and Baptized In Blood, and once again, it seems like they just drew the songs for this best of out of a hat. Where is Denial Of Life and Evil Fucking Dead?!?! C'mon, that's just inexcusable. Next up and the last album this comp drew from is Spiritual Healing and is by far the worst represented. First off, we only get two songs. We get the great song Spiritual Healing, which I'm very glad to see here, and then we get the boring Altering The Future. C'mon, where's Living Monstrosity? Where's Within The Mind? Where's Defensive Personality? Simply unacceptable.
So in conclusion, this is simply one crappy "Best Of". I can't think of one good thing to say about it. You're better off just getting the albums. Oh yeah, and the one page of liner notes suck.
