Simply put, this CD is going to upset most fans who are geeked about the new Faster Pussycat reunion. First off, it's all techno remixes. Second, Taime is the only original member to participate on this CD. And although Taime is the one who oversaw the project, even Newlydeads fans will probably scratch their heads when listening to this. This isn't the dark version of Faster Pussycat that I was looking forward to, but a kind of silly pop-techno dance CD. If you're a traditional hard rock fan who's into FP, the only worthwhile song on this CD is the unreleased demo "Blood," which is actually a pretty good song that reminds me of Whipped's "Only Way Out" as well as "Showdown (Riot On Sunset)" from LA Guns' "Cocked and Loaded."

Being perfectly honest, I found it a little fun to listen to the goofy versions of these songs, and a couple of these remixes DID grow on me. Some of the beats and riffs are a little on the catchy side. However, I can't honestly recommend this CD to Faster Pussycat fans or even Newlydead fans. 

This comes off more like a disc they threw out to cash in on the reunion tour. This one's strictly for the diehards or the ones that like the techno remixes at the end of most of Cleopatra/Deadline's "Latest & Greatest" discs.
