 (4 Customer Reviews)
Recorded between 1994 & 1998. Includes liner notes by Jaan Uhelszki.
When Trent Reznor opened the door to commercial viability for industrial rock, tons of bands tried to cash in, but few were able to attract the attention of the record-buying public as much as Stabbing Westward did in the mid-'90s (albeit for a very short time). With MTV airplay and high-profile touring spots (and arguably as the first band to really nail down that industrial/glam look), the band was able to go gold and maintain a fairly happy time with Columbia Records, which is represented on this collection. They weren't as visceral as Trent Reznor's Nine Inch Nails or as extreme as Marilyn Manson, but they managed to find the right balance between heavy distortion and danceable pop/rock melodies. With tracks like "What Do I Have to Do?" and "Torn Apart," it's a good place to start for rookies of angsty industro-goth-glam dance music. ~ Chris True

Essential Stabbing Westward Music Essential Stabbing Westward Songs Essential Stabbing Westward Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   great compilation
i absolutely love this album, Stabbing Westward was the greatest band in the industrial scene and they are one of my favorite bands (trust me, i have a SW tattoo) it lacks songs from the S/T and i know its becausee of the KOCH/COLUMBIA thing but i wouldve like to see So Far Away and Angel on the CD but other then that it ROCKS

 what a shame(pun indended)
they made so many good albums(the last one excluded of course)it's too bad that they had to be like every other great band and let their differences get between them and their music. what a waste of talent. good luck findinf success again.we;ll probably never hear from any of you again. what a shame...

an eargasmic display of hard rock
The only thing this CD lacks is "The Thing I Hate". Otherwise, it's absolutely perfect. If you like hard rock, than it would be blasphemy not to have some Stabbing Westward.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No A good way to end a Great thing
This album is very cool.I really loved Stabbing Westward's Music. I could listen to them all day without puting the head phones down or turning the sound off.I really recommend SW to everyone and this cd to SW fans.It sucks that they split up though.Chris Hall should continue in the music buis. So should everyone else. I would buy this cd again just to reopen it and hear them again just like it was the first time. SW will always be the best.

Recorded live at the Hempstead Theatre, New York, New York in 1972. Includes liner notes by Carlton P. Sandercock.
Finally, this is an official release of the December 26, 1972, performance of Reed on a New York radio show, which had been floating around on numerous bootlegs for many years. The sound is at least as good as it's been on any of those bootlegs. As for the music, it's inarguably among the finest of Reed's solo work, released or unreleased. The set's split evenly between the Velvet Underground classics and highlights from Reed's early solo albums, with backing by the Tots, the group of unknown musicians who played ...

Essential Stabbing Westward MP3 Album
$10.25
The latest CD from Fred Chalenor Bass and Henry Franzoni Drums, this time with Neil Mintern on keyboards, their original partner. Fred and Henry keep bumping into each other and hard to define music is the result. Progressive, New, Avant Garde, with a rock beat (although in an odd meter or polyrhythm), each song carefully arranged instrumental music when they are the rhythm section of Face Ditch, pop rock creative music when they are the rhythm section of Caveman Shoestore, freak out jam jazz when they are the rhythm section of the Boodlers. All sorts of strange music for the weirdos that really like their stuff. There have always been a few weirdos that really liked their stuff, but they are spread thin, across the world. Americans have never warmed up to the Fred and Henry thing as much as the Europeans and Japanese, of course, there have always been exceptions.Fred ...
