"A mega stack of DOA nuggets that span the entire DOA catalogue. While there are plenty of DOA collections available, they generally cover the output from 1978-1983 or so. This one collects a few gems the others don't have (most notably "War" and a couple tracks off the incredible "Festival of Atheists" CD.) I have seen this band more than twenty times over the last twenty-four years, and every one of the lineups has had a slew of great material to add into the mix. These songs are every bit as relevant as they were when they were first released, and there's something in here for anyone who supports grass roots politikin' and punk rock with a barley pop twist. This is a great jumping off point for the novice, and a swell place to jump back in for the experienced. Joey has been in yer town busting his butt a billion times, and if you haven't had the pleasure of taking in one of his shows, then shame on you! Get out there and live a little (more)"
