"This a farily good CD. With power and attitude the Godfathers really captured a time in the mid 80's. I would suggest the true greatest hits package "Birth, School, Death: The best of the Godfathers""

Fun and angry rock and roll

"This release contains extremely fine basic rock and roll. No synths. No pretenses. Just rock. The Godfathers offer a loose conbination of punk angst and fun riffs that remind me of old Alice Cooper circa 71-74 and Rolling Stones circa 70-73.All in all, a great collection to play for people who miss aggressive guitar driven attitude ROCK, with some melody too."

"Minor clarification: Hit by Hit was not a hits collection, but was the Godfathers' first LP release in 1986 (at least in the US). This is a CD I mean to pick up, having not heard it since the vinyl. The vinyl recording had that excellent, compressed, punchy quality of the best analog rock and punk albums, and to my knowledge captured the Godfathers' live sound most faithfully of any of their releases. The Godfathers rocked with gravelly swagger, sounding a bit like a bluesy Buzzcocks or garagey Mighty Mighty Bosstones. If all you know is the US-tamed "Birth, School, Work, Death," you should definitely spin this."
