Summary: Good Collection...BUT!!!
Comment: Yes,,,,
I'm giving this 4 stars for most of its material...even though this anthology has all you would expect from a KROKUS catalog..it STILL...YET AGAIN!!!(AS ALL THEIR HITS PACKAGES DO),omits one of their most classic songs, "WINNING MAN". This song is what put Krokus on the radio in the U.S.,or at least in my hometown area of Cincinnati, Ohio. It also does not include "OUR LOVE", another radio hit here in the U.S. I feel it should include those songs.
The songs "WINNING MAN" and "BURNING BONES" from the HARDWARE CD (1981), "OUR LOVE" from THE BLITZ CD (1984), & "BYE BYE BABY" from the PAY IT IN METAL CD (1978). this way you won't have to go buy those 3 CD's to get these songs on CD's that were manufactured before all the "REMASTERING" craze of today!!

Summary: An Honor To Review...
Comment: this collection of fine tunes from,in my opinion,one of the most under-rated groups of the 80's.It is great from beginning to end. Some real good covers and originals.Standouts are: "Ballroom Blitz","Long Stick Goes Boom","Bad Boys-Rag Dolls","American Woman","Midnite Maniac","Headhunter","Eat The RicH", and "Screaming In The Night".Pretty much all the songs,but just wanted to narrow it down. Too bad it didn't have "Our Love",from "The Blitz".Oh well.Get it if you love the 80's rock or just good R N R!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Cool covers
Comment: Krokus is a hard rock band with distinct vocals hard edge guitars. The track, "Screaming in the knight", is, in my opinion, one of the best slow rock songs of all time. They put their mark on a few classic covers.

Summary: A Sequel Review...
Comment: Many moons ago, a review was written which recommended buying The Definitive Collection CD vs. Stayed Awake All Night - The Best of Krokus. Here and now, it is complete.
Krokus is an underrated hard rock/metal band from Switzerland. They have now recorded music in four different decades and continue to rock even as of the day this review is written.
This collection includes at least one track from the follow Krokus full-length CD's: Metal Rendez-vous, Hardware, One Vice at a Time, Headhunter, The Blitz, & Change of Address. In other words, it includes their music from what the public would consider "their best days" in the studios and on tour. This CD is of great sound quality. Audio technology has come a long way since the 80's and it is actually evident here.
They made some good songs better such as Ballroom Blitz & School's Out. Both of them were made heavier by Krokus, as it should be.
Their original songs are solid offerings, and as already mentioned, this collection is the most complete studio recording compliation to date for this group.
A few songs on here that I specifically recommend (besides the obvious ones like their covers and their biggest hits) are "She's Got Everything" "Night Wolf" & "Playin' The Outlaw."
This doesn't get 5 stars because I think they made a mistake in leaving out "Tokyo Nights" from Metal Rendez-vous and I would have included "Hot Shot City" from Change of Address. I also think that this would have been a good place to include a studio recording of "Lay Me Down" which was recorded (live) on their Alive and Screamin' CD.
But overall, this is actually the best from this band. It's a good way to get a feel for them if you are new to them, and it also allows you to have songs from their earlier recordings, which are generally tough to find on CD in the USA. Go pick up a copy.

Summary: Outstanding
Comment: I wish it had a couple of more songs on it that I missed off of one of thier other albums.
