Lillian Axe is and has been my all time favorite band since their "Poetic Justice" album came out in 1992. After Psychoschizophrenia (What an eye-full, eh?) I waited patiently, hoping that one day they would release a kind of going away CD or record something new. What we got was a collection of all their best stuff that was never released. So how good could a collection of B-songs possibly be from a band that was never popular anyway? Better than 99% of the stuff out there now, that's how good. Just like every other CD they released, each song from the beginning through the end is good, solid, quality hard rock and metal. The only difference on this album is there is nothing truly exceptional that stands out above the rest. And sadly, in my opinion, the best song can only be found on the Japenese version, "Thirst". "Thirst" is slightly different from the trademark Lillian Axe song, and has a sort of dark twist to it. Other highlights on the CD include "Twilight In Hell" and the wider acclaimed "For Crying Out Loud" which sounds like a cut from their Poetic Justice album. Overall this CD more than satisfies any Axe fan, and should be to the liking of any hard rock fan looking for something new. If you have never heard of this band, do yourself a favor and check this CD out just to see how good the B-music of a band you never heard of can be. Although never popular, this band still lives strongly in the hearts of those who found their music, and I bet many, if not all of us will stay true believers till the very end.

Doesn't compare to other Axe discs, but grows on you

When I first listened to "Fields of Yesterday" I have to say I wasn't impressed. The disc had some good licks, but it was easy to see why these songs did not make it on to any of the bands other albums. I think "Do it" is especially weak. It sounds like an odd blend that mixes a sped up version of 'Show a little Love," from Love & War with Ratt's "Lay it Down." But after a few spins some of the songs do begin to grow on you. I found myself singing 'Twilight in Hell" in my head the other day. Other good tracks include "Become a Monster" and "For Crying out Loud" Although "Fields" is not a classic any longtime Lillian Axe fan should check out this disc.

not their best,but it's not meant to be compared to a masterpiece such as "love+war",but I do like it better than poetic justice.this cd still had some of the raw sound from their earlier days,which is what drew me to them in the first place.definately a must for any "axe" fan...by the way..."who in the f*** is Lillian Axe?!"

I have loved Lillian Axe since they played the Thristy Whale in Chicago SEVERAL years ago. I came to know them quite well and got to share some personal thoughts on songs and life. This is by far one of their best. Maybe soon there will be an acoustic set of songs like they did while here in the "Windy City."
