'Wreckage' (taken from 1997's 'To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth' album) is one of Entombed's most rock-style songs. It actually reminds me a lot of early The Hellacopters. A simple song with a couple of rock riffs and guitar feedback. One of the most uninteresting songs from the band. But remix is really bad! Might work in a shitty disco, if I were totally drunk. I do not know what style it is, but I know it sucks.

Last four songs are all covers. Twisted Sister's 'Tear It Loose' is full of energy, and the song itself ain't bad at all. One of the better from twisted fucks. 'Lost' is by Jerry's Kids and I've never heard the original. Sounds very much like one L7 song which name I don't know. However, vocalist L-G Petrov doesn't sound like a lady, mind you. Bob Dylan's 'The Ballad of Hollis Brown' is a bluesy rocker, not too far from Motörhead now when Entombed plays it. 'Satan' by The Dwarwes (I love that band name!!!) is a short punk song (without funny horror movie intro, its duration is about 47 seconds).

And that's it. Now that the band have released a compilation of b-sides and stuff, so you make up your mind what you need. I got this from an auction, because it read "with autographs"... Yes, there's two of 'em... Be careful what you buy! Now that's some teaching.
