Not bad The CD itself was just fine, but the case had several very large cracks on it. Overall, it was not a bad purchase. I realize that this isn't a huge deal, but I still would have preferred a fully intact case.
A great collection of Sevendust songs
One of the heaviest heavy metal albums in my collection, this hard-hitting album will take your anger and frustration and channel it out of your head and mouth. . Use this album wisely or your excessive head-banging could lead to injury!.
Best of plus some
Though my favorite songs are not on this CD, that is why I own all of the 7D albums that i do. I am not a huge Best Of Fan when I own every album, but this collection has a few gems added to the CD, plus, it has the more popular tunes in ones place. This is a good addition to your music collection, but I would suggest the Double-Wide Live album first before this, if you like their music, but want to hear a different side of sevendust. They still rock acoustically, and I love their remakes and renditions. This is good for someone that is just getting introduced to Sevendust also, or if you can only take a few CDs, you may as well grab your favorite bands' Greatest Hits sets.
Not Good
The music is bland and sounds like every other hard rock band in the last 10 years. I been hearing of Sevendust since the late 90's, and listen to nothing but rock on the radio (classic, hard, alternative). Hollywood produced rock-beats with no soul, no meaning, no voices the complaints continue. Don't waste your money, its like listening to the "Click Click Boom" song (and thats every song on the album).
Awesome Album
It is an amazing album, with some of Sevendust's best songs (in my opinion). I'm no more a fan of TVT cashing in on Sevendust's success then the next person, but that's no reason to rate this poorly. Give the credit where it's due. Sevendust is an amazing band, so if you're just getting into them (as I was when I bought it) or want to good collection of songs, buy this, not because it's a TVT promotion, but because it's good music.
