U.D.O.
'Celebrator'
AFM Records - CD / High Roller Records - LP
Udo
Dirkschneider & Co are on the roll again by releasing this
collection of rare tracks, which is to be followed soon by the
band's brandnew DVD 'Live In Sofia'.
Fans
of the band should be pretty much delighted by this 2 CD set, as this is jam
packed with all kinds of quirky material: Japanese-only bonus tracks,
ones lifted off from ltd edition EPs, previously unreleased songs,
Udo's guest appearances for bands such as Raven, Hammerfall
and Lordi, cuts recorded for various tributes - you name it,
it's in here. It's kinda puzzling as to why some of those previously
unreleased songs ('Tallyman', 'The Silencer' and 'Artificialized' )
haven't been used on the respective albums they've been recorded
for, as all three are class. However, even with such extensive
collection of songs, a couple of ones are bound to slip through the
cracks - particularly I'm missing the awesome 'The Longer You Can
Wait' (recorded for the 1990 'Faceless World' album), that would have
been a nice addition to round things off. 'Celebrator' would be more than enjoyable for
U.D.O.'s fans, and is a fitting warm-up to the forthcoming DVD. [7,5]
