all encompassing best of.......2006-03-10

this best of really gives the listener all they need to hear to know that this band probably was the most underrated punk/powerpop band of its time.on a parr with ramones releases of the day.in fact, they played with the ramones at a gig or two at the world renown punk club cbgb's in nyc.without a doubt, the best band to come out of toronto canada in the mid to late seventies.

It's great.......2002-12-07

I have listened to the Diodes since their first album. If my house was burning, and I could save either this album or my family....

I would grab the album. sorry, kids.

Buy this album.......1999-10-07

Anyone with an interest in late 70's punk should pick up this album. The Diodes were hugely influencial to the Toronto punk scene, but have generally been overlooked. This compilation may change that, as this 25 song collection is nothing short of punk brilliance. The lyrics are fairly intellegent, the songs are well- written, and the performances are hard and tight. A very good album, from a very good and underappreciated band.

Experience the raw roots of punk rock!.......1999-05-04

Listening to this disk took me back to the live performances of the Diodes that I witnessed in Welland, Ontario, Canada in 1979 and again in London, Ontario, Canada in 1981. The force of Paul Robinson's vocals in Red Rubber Ball, Child Star and Shapes of Things to Come is balanced by the melodies of Tired of Waking Up Tired, Teenage Nation, Photographs From Mars, Jenny's In A Sleep World and Weekend. The pounding beat of John Catto's guitar and Ian Mackay's bass provide the perfect background for Robinson's unpolished but forceful delivery of the lyrics. The raw energy of this group represents the early roots of punk, when making simple, great music was more important than the physical uniqueness of the musicians.

Excellent.......1999-03-13

This music is a throw back to the early roots of the punk rock and new vave movement. Raw music sung with a passion at the dawn of the disco age. A must in anyones collection of the music of the mid-70's. I used to own this on 8-track and have searched for the CD for the last 10 years. Unfortunatley these guys broke up before their music reached the recognition other artist of there time achieved. Great music from a time when music was testing the boundaries.

Do Not Buy This CD.......2004-09-29

Cheap budget reissue of a great cd, which is still available in its original form from Amazon.com. Cover art is a bad scan from the Canadian cd cover. NO BOOKLET WITH LINER NOTES. Lots of typos and mistakes. A horrible package. DO NOT BUY THIS CD.
