A total celestial blender of punk, rock, revolution and the time/space continuum. If Einstein was a guitarist he would have launched Mc5 pursuant to the Lorentz transformation into a stack of Marshall amps via 1969. Only then the equation balances and the universe maintains stasis.

Man, what a great band, but I can let the other reviews cover that topic.
Anyone else notice that track one has that funky, click sound that mp3's sometimes get? It's on the listening sample, too. Too bad I didn't listen first before buying the album.

from the ashes of the 67 riots. The CD is proof of it. Take your seat, the lesson is about to begin.

If you listen to "Skunk" now, you're hearing the real thing, not the Porcupine Tree track. Nonetheless, I think that it sounds somehow appropriate even with 30 years and no musicians in common separating the recordings! My favorite tracks are from High Time--if you can listen to "Sister Anne" and not move to it, you're in the wrong category. And "Over And Over" sounds sooooooo much like today's situation, it's scary. Getting the original albums is a good idea, but this is still a fine sampler.

these guys were it, the original . . . as they will happily tell and retell you at every turn. sloppy, fun, loud, angry, everything punk was before the nintys devoured it and started giving props to "punk" artists like avril and blink . . . tyvm ill stay locked away in the old school

The best songs on this album are tracks 4-7... they are all from the same album "Kick Out the Jams", MC5's debut and raw live LP... if you really wanna hear a best of MC5... go get "Kick Out the Jams"... this is an ok collection... but get their live (not a bootleg) album , "Kick Out the Jams"
- Great Stuff

This album is excellent, top to bottom. I noticed that one of the tracks was switched is from a Porcupine Tree album. Porcupine Tree just happens to be my favorite band, and they have just put out an album called "Fear of a Blank Planet". It is one of the finest albums I have ever listened to and it is an album that fans of inventive rock will love. I think that MC5 fans will love it. These two bands are on the same label, so that probably has something to do with the switch.
