3 out of 5 stars Half decent overview of an underrated band.......2005-05-16

While Life of Agony managed to find some success with their Roadrunner Records debut "River Runs Red" in 1993, nothing the band ever came up with since could hold a candle to their great debut. "The Best of Life of Agony", much like Roadrunner's other "Best Of" compilations, is a solid introduction to the band for new listeners, but offers completely nothing new to veteran fans. Just about everything a Life of Agony fan would expect to be on a "Best Of" is here, including "This Time", "River Runs Red", "Underground", "Bad Seed", "Through and Through", "Lost at 22", and "My Mind is Dangerous", along with some solo work by frontman Keith Caputo. All in all, while this is a solid introduction for new listeners, they may be better off checking out "River Runs Red" first, and for the rest of us, this is better left on the shelf.

4 out of 5 stars kick ass band.......2004-01-30

i got this cd after seeing the band live, which i must say took me by surprise after not even really listenin to these guys...they put on one of the best shows i ever saw...if u like heavy guitar then this band is for you, the vocals are unique and they carry that heavy metal sound that i love...much respect for the live show and i hope to see them again...one of the best metal cd's ever...

4 out of 5 stars why we need this.......2004-01-29

OK - leprechaun40 from rahway, nj USA states that "Best of/ Greatest hits albums are never endorsed by the band." Alan robert (bass - songwriter) did this Best Of cover. "Generally these albums are used to fulfill a contract and the band sees no royalties from any greatest hits or best of albums." Yes, bands sometimes need to fullfil contractual obligations with a GH album but they most certainly see royalties on these releases. Look at your local record store ... if these stores stocked all of LOA's titles you wouldn't need this Best Of. But because they don't - LOA need this record out there. And this is a good one!

Best of/ Greatset hits albums are never endorsed by the band. Generally these albums are used to fulfill a contract and the band sees no royalties from any greatest hits or best of albums. In short don't buy this album (or any greatest hits album for that matter. In the case of LOA, buy the three studio albums, the live album and the accoustic album and you'll be way more satisfied.

4 out of 5 stars Anything But Agony.......2003-11-19

I'd heard of New York's Life Of Agony, but hadn't actaully heard their soul crunching music until recently. Turns out, I was missing a very potent blend of heavy riffs and heartfelt vocals that gets better every listen. These guys were and probably still are a huge underground band. Songs like the chugging and aptly titled "Underground" and the ripping "Bad Seed" show not only early C.O.C. and Anthrax type riffs, but adding melodicism to go with it. In no way do Keith Kaputo's mellow contributions "My Mind...." and "Angry Tree" sound any less important than the groove of "Here I Am." In short, a great CD from start to finish. Don't be left out.
