Entertainment Reviews:
Q - 5/00, p.129
4 stars out of 5 - "...A superb and fair collection of their best work..."Uncut - p.136
5 stars out of 5 - "Not only did their furious guitar sound - along with The Stooges - pave the way for punk and the recent Detroit garage-rock revival, but their flamboyant dress sense was a massive influence on glam."Alternative Press - 4/00, p.90
4 out of 5 - "...Stomps through early singles, the glorious cacophony of KICK OUT THE JAMS, the tighter, cleaner BACK IN THE USA, and the almost-mature HIGH TIME....[They] made the pop mainstream seem lightweight by comparison."The Wire - 3/00, pp.50-1
"...Represemts the best possible testimonial to the memory of these purveyors of a factiry forged, 'high energy' sound..."Melody Maker - 4/25/00, p.51
4 stars out of 5 - "MC5's intense mixture of proto-punk and ragged, free-form jazz captures the very essence of rock'n'roll oblivion. Fans of Primal Scream and Asian Dub Foundation will almost certainly love this."Mojo (Publisher) - 2/00, pp.82-4
"...[this album] rocks not only as an end in itself but also as the key to generational/perceptual/political change....THE BIG BANG works well as an introduction to a vital, thorny group..."NME (Magazine) - 12/30/00, p.79
