Wot no Rolodex Propaganda or Invalid Litter Dept?
Seems strange that bearing in mind these were their most successful recordings.

Anyone else realised that its exactly a year to the day of the previous new article about this release?

Re: ATD-I anthology finally sees the light of day

i think i may have read somewhere (possibly NME) that there may be a couple of bonus videos, 1AS and Litter Dept, but don't quote me on that.

This doesnt look very good.

ace, that's one of my favourite smiths songs.

i think this will be essential for a fringe ATD-I fan like myself.

I thought it was 'Take up thy stethoscope and walk'.

You could tell the Mars Volta were on the way when they started covering Pink Floyd...

Not what I would have chosen for a "best of" - but there you go. Cosmanught (sic?) is, in my opinion, the best atd-i song by far, and that aint even on there. Same goes for "Give It A Name". Props for "Hulahoop Wounds" though. Who got to decide what goes on there anyway?

ATD-I anthology finally sees the light of day

My favourite band of all time, bar none.

Seeing as Picket Fence Cartel is on there, I'm a happy man. Still, it would have been nice to have a little more of the very early stuff from the vinyls on there as they're difficult to get hold of for the average fan.

One of my favourite "LIVE" bands of all time.
Thing is though, until 'Relationship Of Command' I always felt there was something lacking with their studio work and I suppose you could argue they are partly responsible for all the goddamnawful emo bands that followed.

i'd rather see a collection of b-sides live takes and demos/hard to find stuff. With a DVD of live footage and TV performances.

This is useless to anybody who has the cds.

I'll get it coz i'm a completist but hot damn, why couldn't they out some stuff from hell paso or the other 7''??

I'm glad they have the covers of smiths and pink floyd on, it'll save me getting the invalid litter dept singles

Re: ATD-I anthology finally sees the light of day

i'm with you on that one

"I suppose you could argue they are partly responsible for all the goddamnawful emo bands that followed."

you could argue...!! name one band that sound like at the drive-in? by emo i believe you mean jimmy eat world and dashboard..in fact which bands are emo? i really have no idea, its such a vague genre.

Re: ATD-I anthology finally sees the light of day

"name one band that sound like at the drive-in?"

Million Dead and My Chemical Romance would LIKE TO THINK they do.

Re: ATD-I anthology finally sees the light of day

the band, apparently.
which is a bit of a turn out, considering that i was fairly sure they fucking hated eachother.

ATD-I anthology finally sees the light of day
