"Liberty N' Justice mastermind Justin Murr returns, yet again, this time around teaming up with Versailles Records to bring fans the first LNJ compilation/retrospect album. 4-All: The Best of Liberty N' Justice encompasses 14 faith-based rock anthems that were featured on 2004's Welcome To The Revolution, 2006's Soundtrack of a Soul, and 2007's Independence Day. To date all three of these all-star discs have garnered worldwide attention by attracting some of the biggest musicians in the hard rock world including Lou Gramm (ex-Foreigner), Sebastian Bach (ex-Skid Row), Jani Lane (Warrant), Ted Poley (Danger Danger), and Stephan Pearcy (Ratt). What tends to separate this compilation from other standard greatest hit packages is Murr has managed to snag several other rock icons to perform on four brand new songs. Of these new tunes featured it's hard-edged rockers the likes of Rage (featuring Dug Pinnick of Kings X) and Devil in the Details (featuring Steve Brown of Trixter/Stereo Fallout) that return Liberty N' Justice go back to humble beginnings but also assist in pushing LNJ further in all the right directions.
> Good - 4 brand new compositions jumpstart the album and then what follows is the material that assisted in sky-rocketing Liberty N' Justice into the rock stratosphere.
> Bad - Nothing that should cause that big of a fuss. Those who are longtime followers of LNJ might be somewhat disappointed considering there isn't any material from the group's earlier albums. The inclusion of such tracks would have rounded out this Best of substantially more but considering this compilation was made to focus on the all-star talent the final product is a worthwhile addition to the Liberty N' Justice legacy.
> Similar - Guardian and Stryper except significantly heavier in certain areas.
> Label - Versailles Records
