The Lords of the New Church took the punk/new wave types of sounds and combined them with heavy metal influences into a gothic-sounding but very accessible texture. The resulting music is showcased on this compilation disc, which includes tracks from the various LONC albums and some rarities. The group did plenty of cover cuts but made them all their own. In fact, in many cases, the covers really steal the show on this release; particularly "Dance With Me," "Live for Today," and the very funny and obnoxious take on Madonna's "Like a Virgin." Some of this material will definitely be objectionable to certain listeners, but to fans of the group, or of the early goth sound in general, this release is definitely a treat. ~ Gary Hill, All Music Guide
