Great showmanship by Daniel Oconnell (Thomaston, CT United States)  5 Stars
September 18, 2009
I have not purchased this Cd yet but I just saw The Church last month in a small venue in Ridgefield, CT and the show was incredible. I have been to over 100 concerts from The Spice Girls to Depeche Mode to Van Halen to Elton John and this was easily in the top 10. I have always like Milky Way and Reptile but I never knew this band jammed like they did and the lead singer sound the same after all these years.
I am a Church fan now and I intend to get all their CD's, maybe a gift to myself this Christmas. DanO

A Great Album by Daniel A. Hill (IRAQ) 5 Stars
June 28, 2009
There is really no bad song on this album. A band that definitly did not fit the cookie cutter mold of a lot of the bands of their time. A great disc with great songs.

Under the Milky Way - best of Arista compilation by Joseph Morris (Elmwood Park, NJ) 5 Stars
October 31, 2008
Great stuff. Oh, we can argue over what was left on and off (what? no Monday Morning off Gold Afternoon Fix)
(And no Hotel Womb off of Starfish? Yikes!)
But it does get a lot right. Its full up of music (17 tracks is a good amount of songs on any cd)
Metropolis, Under the milky way, The Shadow Cabinet, Tear it all away. Exciting stuff! Check out the intro on Tear it all away, the arpeggios on Koppes guitar. Then the bass kicks in and the track takes off. Great solo on this track as well. Tremendously exciting
Of course you'll want to check out all their albums, but I think this is a very good 1 cd compilation of the group. Does it hang together as an album? Nah. But the songs are all good I deem (okay, I would've chosen Film or Paradox off of Priest=Aura, had more from that (underrated) album
But, again, its a good compilation of the band, full of music on one cd. Buy it! buy it!
then maybe Starfish, Gold Afternoon Fix, Heyday (just to check out "As You Will")
Thank God Myrrh is on this, otherwise I'd have to strike someone. Kilbey likes the lyrics in especial on that one, thinks they're the best on that particular album (Heyday) btw

Don't buy this collection by Thomas Thomsen (Denmark) 5 Stars
August 15, 2007
Since this is The Church, this Best Of deserves 5 stars, but you should know that there is a brand-new and much better 2 cd compilation called "Deep In The Shallows: The Classic Singles Collection" out now, with liner notes by Rolling Stone's David Fricke.

Introduction To The World's Most Overlooked Supergroup by Brien Comerford (Glenview, Illinois United States) 5 Stars
April 28, 2007
Under the Milky Way: The Best of the Church" is primarily a good compilation of mostly 1980 to 1990 Church CDs that were very good to great. Starfish was their only masterpiece in this era. The songs "Under The Milky Way" and "Metropolis" gave them warranted fame and acclaim. Suddenly in 1992 the Church began to make superlative CD's on a par with Pink Floyd, Radiohead and vintage U2. Tragically, the music industry ignored or forgot about the Church. They have five CDs that are better than Radioheads or U2s five best CDs. They are called "Priest=Aura","Sometime Anywhere", "Hologram Of Baal", "After Everything Now This" and "Uninvited Like The Clouds". The latter four CDs are so deep and complex a few listens are needed. The Church's lead vocalist, Steve Kilbey, is the key but the three other band members are equally vital. The Church are totally innovative and unique but their dreamy, elaborate and mesmerizing sound is a hybrid of quality Pink Floyd, U2 and Radiohead. Everything this band has recorded since 1992 is musically gold but not nearly enough of these superlative recordings have been sold. This is the biggest musical travesty since the grievous implosion and demise of the Beatles's inspired band called Badfinger in 1975. I am so glad that the brillant Church have somehow endured and continue to do their best without the Universal Acclaim that they indisputably deserve !
