With the release of “The Demo Collection?? Crashdïet have put the “Sleaze?? back in Sleaze Rock! Opening with the Dr. Feelgood-esque track “Black Rose?? which some might recognize from the early sessions from “The Savage Playground?? Crashdïet really know how to pick the perfect song to open an album, and yes I very much consider this an album. The second track on the album “Cornerstone Trippin’?? has been much anticipated by me for the past few years. If you know where to look there is a short clip (maybe 20 seconds) of this song that surfaced around the beginning of the “Generation Wild?? era. Simon’s vocals on this song, especially during the bridge are phenomenal. This song is more like a journey because it changes from the beginning to the end. “Erase Me?? is another holdover from “The Savage Playground?? sessions, some people might recognize this song from a studio clip that was posted early on in the recording process. The studio clip, which showed Martin playing the main riff, began with the words “Too Heavy??? No Martin, not too heavy. Beginning with a rocking riff and cowbell “She’s No Angel?? is a rocking song with a catchy chorus. “Innocence?? is a haunting little song that is very reminiscent of the early 80’s. Simon’s hazy vocals are great and the chorus is very familiar but I cannot put my finger on it. This song is well on its way to becoming a favorite of mine. My ONLY complaint (if you want to call it that) is that I wish this song was longer, it seems like as soon as it hooks you, its over. But I guess that’s what makes a good song, short and sweet. The demo version of the opening track on “The Savage Playground,?? “Change the World?? is nothing less than its mastered counterpart that made it on the final cut. Eric’s drums on this demo are SICK. Starting off what I would call the “Second Half?? of the album is the rocking song “Miss Alright.?? With a catchy melody, great breakdown, and a chorus that will be stuck in your head for a lon

I’m really excited about the demos. They are awesome and I’m very happy that they were released. It would have been a pity not to as it’s really great stuff. After listening up and down the whole set yesterday evening and this morning at the bus my fav is still Black Rose closely followed by Cornerstone Trippin’. I love the nasty guitar in Black Rose but most of all it’s Simon’s voice that gives the extra kick. It comes through so true and clear it’s amazing and that goes for all the songs. It’s the perfect combination of sound, rhythm and lyrics that made me fall for Crashdiet in the first place. So thanks a lot for making those pieces of art and beauty available to us. And extra thanks to Simon for the liner notes – very much appreciated! I should really get a “Psychobunny approved?? stamp or something just for you guys *G* -Psychobunny-

This recording is very well done and captures the essence of Crashdiet completely. I've been waiting for a quality recording of this band and now I have it. Thank you so much for offering this to your fans....
