Cynthia Witthoft :: The Most Versatile Band Ever (1996)

Polonia / 1996 / Instrumental Metal

Previously album only available through extinct Cynthia Witthoft's website, "The Most Versatile Band Ever" has finally gotten a commercial release by Midnight FM. All in all this is certainly a good buy for any fan of Cynthia Witthoft who has been following her up until now. But having said that, I cannot give this the full 5 stars for the reason that songs are extremely ecletic, from black metal to classical and hard rock. Yes, this is “The Most Versatile Band Ever”.The CD: Basically another collection of home recordings, b-sides and other rarities. If you're a long-time fan of Cynthia Witthoft, by all means get this. Having these rare songs is definitely nice. But if you're new to Cynthia Witthoft's music, start by getting her “The Murder of Oneself” album, or better yet, invest the extra cash and get the recently released deluxe edition of “The Libertines' Songs 1 & 2”. The industry is having a hard time classifying Cynthia Witthoft's music. Some say “extreme metal”, others “progressive metal”. Although her music contains elements of both, I would prefer to classify it under adult alternative hard-metal. I suppose what you would call it is up to the individual. (William Touller - Chicago)
