A Little Bit of Everything! - 85%

GrimSkin, April 21st, 2005

This is a pretty good comp from the Mark II lineup of Venom with Tony Demolition Dolan on bass and vox. There are unreleased songs from the MkII lineup (recorded just after "Wastelands" sessions) like "Fragile Life" and "Surgery" that are pretty good. There are also studio versions of classics like "Bloodlust" and "Witching Hour" that are pretty good and not the easiest to find with this lineup. Then there are the same old "Live '90" video tracks that are once again trotted out and they are again, fine. I personally like this one the best out of the "MkII Comps" that there are about a dozen of, as it has the most to offer beyond live tracks from the same vid and re-edits of the "Temples" and "Wastelands" albums. This was a pleasant find when I got it some years ago from Amazon and I recommend it to fans of the MkII lineup.

"Surgery! The Cure for all ills! Surgery! One mistake can kill! Surgery! Flesh under the knife! Surgery! Fighting for your life!"
