Bleeped

"Bought this as I'm a big fan and completist and i liked the look of the tracklist. I was horrified then to discover that a number of tracks were censored versions of songs, particularly Heads Explode, Spacelord and Tractor - On Tractor the word 'drug' is bleeped - so ridiculous (I'm 30 for flips sake)! Buyer beware. I only give it three stars, as despite the fact that the songs are excellent, the censored tracks are to my mind unlistenable, the packaging is flimsy and provides no new insights to the best band in the world - been listening to them for 15 years now!

I am a grown up and have heard cuss words many times!

"I have enjoyed monster magnet for years and was excited to get this compilation. I couldn't believe the sensors got a hold of the tracks and destroyed most of them with beeps and empty spaces where the - god forbid - "bad words" are sung. What a joke. If this record company didn't like the ORIGINAL recordings then they shouldn't have produced the compilation. I guess that greed will drive a record company to sell almost anything; even something that it feels a need to sensor. What a bunch of hypocritical @#$%^(*&. DONT BOTHER WITH THIS CD!"

Would be great...

"Had this cd not been censored i think it'd be a great introduction to a great band. But really, they bleep out 'drug' ?!? And i can understand if this was a band with a younger demographic, but I think in general this is an older audience anyway. So we really don't need that garbage.. By the way, the digipack case this came in is made out of recycled junk which is kinda ironic cause a best of is just a recycled mixtape of old stuff, and the censoring kinda makes this cd just junk on a few songs.."
