You're Better Off Dead

  (Average Rating: 7.34 out of 10)

The songs are just fine

To say the least, this is an interesting little CD. "You're Better Off Dead" is a return to the Hatebreeder style of music. There is much more emphasis on the guitar rather than on the keyboard, but the keyboard still adds a nice touch. "Somebody Put Something in My Drink" is a Ramones cover, which is an interesting change since every other cover we have seen so far has been of other metal bands. Since I am not a big fan of any kind of punk, this song is neutral in my mind, even though the song is given a metal feel. So, just as the title of the review says, the songs are just fine. The problem is that the CD itself is extremely overpriced. I could not suggest that anyone purchase this CD at the outrageous price of almost $$$. I think everyone would have been much better off if the CD had either been made cheaper or if the songs were simply used as bonus tracks on a later release.

Buy this album on Amazon at $12.99
