Nice CD that rocks out. Standouts are Ball & Chain and Story of my Life.

I stumbled upon this the other day and of course grabbed it up. This is a great collection and well worth having, especially for existing fans of the band.
I gave it 4 stars because 1) it could have had another half dozen songs on it, 2) some of their best were left off and some that were included weren't their best, and 3) some of the songs are not the original recorded versions and this should have been disclosed up front.
That said, I think it's GREAT that they have included alternate recorded versions on this disk! They are closer to well recorded demos than fully polished studio cuts, but that's a cool thing in my book. They are well done but fairly bare bones - the real band without a lot of studio fakery & polishing. VERY cool. I'm more interested in THAT, then just another best of with the same versions I already own.
And the new track is cool as well!!!
WORTH BUYING!

I didn't want to buy this, but I knew I would. I have every other album and Mike's solo work as well. I never miss a chance to them in concert whenever they are within 100 miles (and sometimes farther).
I also have this theory that once a band releases a "Greatest Hits" collection they are essentially done making anymore good music. I'm hoping that Social D is the exception.
The classics are here and they sound okay, but once you compare them with the original versions (so easy to do when it's all in your iTunes) you'll find that these re-recorded versions lack the depth and feeling of the originals.

If you have not heard much Social D. Buy this album. Well worth it.

Social Distortion is a fantastic group of musicians that have fused punk and country to make their own, original sound. This compilation contains several of their greatest hits, including "Reach for the Sky", a piece so transcendent I plan on having it played at my funeral.
The only complaints I have are twofold: One, that several great songs of theirs were left off the album. Where are "Broke Down in Bakersfield" and "Nickles and Dimes", two songs that deserved to be included?
The second is that the cover art on the album is just wierd, consisting of a masked man with a gun. What does that have to do with their music? Who chose that image?
This is a worthy effort that will please Social D fans, but it could have been better.
