New Christs, The – The Burning of Rome: Selected Works [Import. Green Noise USA exclusive] – New LPAmazing collection! When I first saw this laid out as a double album, I thought why not just distill it down to a brilliant 2 sider?, but once I gave it a listen it's perfect. It's amazing how this music spans decades and features a variety of great musicians backing frontman Rob Younger (Radio Birdman), and yet sounds so cohesive, the changes in time and moods and membership just helping keep it interesting and exciting, and it all sounds like one

Rob Younger—best known as the voice of Radio Birdman and a defining figure of the Australian underground—formed The New Christs in the early 1980s as an outlet for his darker, more intense musical visions. Over the years, the band has become an essential part of the global rock'n'roll landscape, blending raw garage energy with post-punk menace, sophisticated songwriting and a ferocious live presence. Changes in the lineup feature some of the finest musicians from bands like the Celibate Rifles, Lime Spiders, The Barracudas and Hoodoo Gurus, and the band has maintained an unmistakable identity—one defined by urgency, grit and uncompromising quality.
The Burning of Rome: Selected Works doesn’t settle for the easy picks. Instead, it offers a deeper, more comprehensive look at The New Christs’ sonic universe, drawing from every corner of their discography—from their feral 1981 debut single “Face a New God” to highlights from their later studio albums: Distemper (1989), Lower Yourself (1997), We Got This! (2002), Gloria (2009) and Incantations (2014). The twenty tracks compiled here paint a vivid portrait of a band that, while never prolific, has never missed a beat.
The collection opens with the thunderous distortion of “We Have Landed,” taken from the 1997 album Lower Yourself—an album that showcases the band at their most focused and dangerous. From there, the listener is plunged into a world of tense guitars, pounding rhythms and Younger’s unmistakable vocal presence. There’s the propulsive energy of “Another Sin,” featuring blistering guitar work by Charlie Owen; the haunting, late-night feel of “Golden Street”; the sunlit drive of “Spit It Out”; and the fiery swagger of “On Top of Me.” And of course, the epic title track—“The Burning of Rome”—is a standout moment, embodying the band’s signature mix of intensity and elegance.
Crucially, this isn’t just a nostalgic retrospective of their 1980s classics—although gems like “Born Out of Time” and “Coming Apart” are included—it’s a celebration of the full arc of The New Christs’ career. It shines a light on lesser-known tracks that deserve far more recognition and proves, once again, that this band has been producing vital, hard-hitting rock music for over four decades.
With their European tour about to begin, there’s never been a better time to rediscover or dive into the world of The New Christs. The Burning of Rome: Selected Works is more than a compilation—it’s a testimony to a band that has consistently operated outside of trends and time, fueled by passion, precision and power. Essential listening for fans of Australian underground music, and anyone who understands that some of the most important stories in music history are the ones still burning just below the surface.

Incredible Devotional
Format: Hardcover
I read Reason for Marriage and it was one of my all time favorite books! Tim Keller was a brilliant author. My husband does not read at all, but I wanted him to experience the value of this book. The devotional has been short enough for him to stay focused and thought provoking enough for him to contribute to the conversation. Really insightful and thoughtful topics. I love that they don’t just breeze through all different topics but dive really deep into each one and spend multiple days digging deeper and deeper. Highly recommend!

I'm glad I chose these women vitamins!!!
I chose these women's vitamins because I don't like swallowing pills much at all and they are easy to swallow,plus they are a great vitamin supplement. Consistency is the key and it's a big bottle which is great for the price. I love these vitamins and I feel the difference in my body. These aren't just vitamins that get urinated out,they are absorbed. Be sure to follow directions for use on the bottle for best results.

Hard to find capsules
Im so glad these are capsules and not gummies (extra carbs) or tablets (does the body even absorb them) Nutrients are getting to the bloodstream quicker.
