Lillian Axe--Fields of Yesterday

Lillian Axe--Fields of Yesterday (1999/Z Records) Rating--7.3

Tracks recorded back during the middle of the band's career, and songs that didn't quite make the various album cuts-- though several of these are probably better than some that did. A raw edge on most of the songs, as they are not nearly as polished (recording wise) as is the norm for the band. Still pretty good, though, and the big fan will enjoy this set.
A good chord chunk is the backbone in "Twilight in Hell," and a chug rhythm moves "Become a Monster." Both "The Last Time" and "Calm Before the Storm" are of the heavier variety, and all of "Do It," "Pulling the Rats Out," and "Blood on the Moon" have some strong moments.
A nice idea, as this underground band's fans have long been clamoring for more. Now if they'll just re-release the first two discs...
TRACK LIST: Death Valley Daze/Do It/Twilight In Hell/For Crying Out Loud/The Last Time/Calm Before the Storm/Pulling the Rats Out/When It Rains/Daddy Long Legs/Blood On the Moon/Kill Me Again/Become a Monster
