In a great move for Christian music enthusiasts, the KMG label purchased the back catalog of Frontline (including the Intense and Alarma sub-labels), allowing classic metal and alternative releases to see the light of day again. Besides the double-disc re-issues that skimp on original artwork/packaging, a few "best-of" albums have been released. Mad At The World gets the treatment here. 14 tunes are picked for this collection, and the song selection was good. What's interesting about this release is how it sounds. It appears that many of these tunes were re-recorded or massively re-mastered. "Fearfully and Wonderfully" and "Dry Your Tears" sound slicker and dramatically slower than their urgent original versions. Is this what happens when music leaves California for a Nashville release? For some of these songs it helps, but for many it polishes off some of that cool "edge."
