Bride
End of the Age: The Best of Bride
Reviewed by Spiny Norman
This collection of "greatest hits" from Bride comes at a time that marks an end of an age for the band's music, while showing a glimpse of the new age (oops, did I say that?) that they are entering into. The song "Everybody Knows My Name" shows off the blues sound that the band is currently doing. The other selections were supposedly chosen due to letters the band has received from fans. While a novel idea, I question the logic here. Some of these songs only a fan could love, such as "Forever In Darkness" and "Evil That Men Do". The rest of the tunes rock, but where's "Metal Might", "Live To Die", and "Fool Me Once"? This is probably Bride's best album, due to all the cool tunes included, but hey, it could've shredded.
