    The cheekily-named Greatest Hits, Vol.1 is both a refreshing blast from the past and an ardent kick in the teeth.

    It's not a "clever" record in any sense, but who needs to think when the music is this much raucous fun? [Sep 2015, p.98]

    24 tracks call into question the issue of quality control, but as short, sharp reminders of why all you need is three chords and something to say, there are few better examples than Teenage Time Killers' debut. [8 Aug 2015, p.52]

    The music is strong and the force is stronger, as Teenage Time Killers attempt to hammer out their namesake with flair, blasting track after track of unrepentant volume that cuts like a hardcore DIY effort, glazed by moments that mosh between Black Sabbath séances and CKY videos with almost no blood to spare.

    It sneers and snarls like a long-lost punk mixtape, fueled by the forever-young rage of rockers who refuse to grow up.
  6. 60
    Needless to say, this is 45 minutes of Satanism, anti-capitalism, rebel protest, warfare and gore in which every form of sludge/speed/death/pop/goth/punk/armadillo metal is flung onto an increasingly gooey and formless pile, like a torture chamber’s heap of discarded body parts.

    Rather than build off each other's styles and arrive at a cumulative, comprehensive sound, Teenage Time Killers' revolving cast have conflated quantity with quality, resulting in a pedestrian product that, at best, offers a decent soundtrack to throwing back beers at Punk Rock Bowling.

    I'm not really a Hard-Rock or Metal fan, but never the less consider my music taste versatile enough to leave this compilation in my musicI'm not really a Hard-Rock or Metal fan, but never the less consider my music taste versatile enough to leave this compilation in my music library.
    The quality of the tracks is premium and this album represents the genre so well, that it may be all I need for my "Hardcore times".
