Black Flag never sounded so good. Forget for a minute the fact that this is a benefit for three boys whom justice has been denied. Just concentrate on the music.It sounds great. I can't stop recomending or listening to this CD. These are absolutely the tightest recordings of Black Flag songs I've ever heard. The mix is superior to anything they had available to them when they were still recording. The vocals aren't drowned out by the music, the bass and drum tracks are crystal clear and there is no "noise" in the recordings. I understand and even like the limitations of the original recordings, since they were done in the "do-it-yourself" early days of punk rock. However, I always wished for a remix that brought the quality of the songs out. Even the remastered editions of Black Flag's CD's aren't this clear.The guest vocalists are pretty much perfectly paired to the songs. Think of Chuck D yelling "West Memphis Arkansas" at the very beginning, and take that all the way through the outro to "My War." The list of vocalists reads like a who's-who of the alternative/punk scene today. Henry Rollins takes on seven songs, some with other vocalists, some alone. Then you have Chuck D, Iggy Pop, Cedric Bixler Zavala, Corey Taylor, Exene Cervenka, Hank Williams III, Dean Ween, Tom Araya, Ice T and others. The perfect pairing of song to singer is Lemmy doing "Thirsty and Miserable." If there was ever a song that should be done by a certain singer, it would be that song with that singer. Not even necessarily because he's a drinking kind of guy, but because the chorus lends itself to his vocal style. Other great pairings are Ice T doing "Police Story" (think of the irony of Ice T playing a cop on "Law & Order: SVU," then doing this song...), Mike Patton doing "Six Pack" and my favorite on the disc, Tom Araya doing "Revenge." The list goes on. Each vocalist brings his or her unique style to the songs I've heard hundreds of times before.The only song I can't stand is Ryan Adams' live version of "Nervous Breakdown." For one thing, the song is on the disc earlier, with none other than original Black Flag vocalist Keith Morris, but it's slowed down significantly and Ryan Adams just plain sucks. Thankfully, it's the last song on the disc, so you've already gone through the good stuff at that point. The entire collection is also missing that unique Greg Ginn guitar sound. In a perfect world, Henry would have gotten Greg to come in and play on the disc, but alas, it's not meant to be. Jim Wilson does a great job of trying to fill those shoes, but Greg had a unique sound that only he can duplicate. Of all the covers of various Black Flag songs I've heard over the years, these are the closest to the original feel. The sound is cleaner, the mix is clearer and the playing is solid.The "bonus" disc I got when I ordered it off of Amazon doesn't bring that much additional material in reality. It's billed as a "5 track promo/interview disc" but it actually has 12 tracks, 5 of which are songs from the actual disc. The other seven tracks are Henry Rollins introducing and/or talking about the benefit and how it came to be and a brief overview of the songs on the sampler. Since there are no extra songs that aren't on the disc, it's a nice little thing to have, but definately not necessary in any way.I absolutely love this disc. Not only am I supporting The West Memphis Three, a cause I believe in (see my original writeup about this disc), but I also got 24 re-recorded Black Flag songs with different singers. The songs are fantastic, the cause is justice. I highly reccomend that you pick up this disc.
