All hail... Lord Stiv.......2007-05-07

The Lords of the New Church. A bunch of guys from different style bands that produced a different style of music for the 80's. They were at times punk, goth, glam... a little of all those things , but always produced interesting music. Great live band, provided Stiv was not too wasted. Never heard a band that was similar since. The first two albums are the best, Killer lords is a good compilation, but some good songs from both those first 2 albums are not on this one. Still a good cd if you dont want to shell out a lot of dough to get the first two albums on cd.

Sell outs never sounded so good!.......2004-12-24

Of course Stiv--RIP--Bators sold out after disbanding the infamous Dead Boys (whose debut LP is an unadulterated punk classic), but compared to such shallow KISS acolyte contemporaries as Motley Crue, or even (don't laugh) that awful Canadian band Platinum Blonde, this stuff was and is much, much better.

Beyond that, it still holds up, can you believe it?

All the hits are really here; "Dance With Me", "Open Your Eyes" (which was at least as good as Duran Duran's best stuff--why wasn't it a number 1?), "Russian Roulette", and their amazing cover of "Like A Version" (which still gets people moving when I play it today). I think it's even better and more comprehensive than the Lords Anthology.

Pick it up and admit you lived through the 80s and survived. Thankfully, so did this.

Gimme some russian roulette..........2004-07-06

The Lords of the New Church were a neglected 80's goth/punk band. This CD is a greatest hits of sorts which includes Dance With Me (which had minor play on MTV in the early 80's), Method To My Madness, and Russian Roulette (my favorite song by them). They even covered Madonna's "Like A Virgin" which is included on this cd. If you're into 80's goth such as Bauhaus, check out the Lords today!

Really Good, But Some Odd Selections.......2004-03-20

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.

All Killer, No Filler.......2003-12-26

The Lords Greatest Hits. Like any other LORDS album, a meaningful masterpiece and certainly significant theosophically, against the backdrop of most 80's vibrant/vapid offerings.
