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.

Strong magnetic hook with only one small con
Color: E-Blackpro 4
I got the four-pack of magnetic hooks and the magnets are indeed strong. You have to reasonable with how much weight you hang off of these though! The longer hooks help with holding multiple items. I've used them for shovels and rakes and they hold up just fine. The only slight con is that I wish the ends of the hooks curled up instead of down to keep items from sliding off as safety precaution. You can just turn the hook upside down but then the shorter hooks are at the bottom. They work for what I need them and can hold power tools as well. The hooks are sturdy and the magnet power is impressive.

Magnets are strong
Color: E-Blackpro 4
Arrived fast. Magnets are really strong on my husbands metal peg board in the garage outside. The only draw back, the rings are slightly long for a work bench area. Wish they were 3-4''.

High Quality and Operability - Great!
Great mouse! Not only good, but feels and operates as well as, or better than a Microsoft mouse, and a lot more reasonable! Comes with AAA batteries, the USB transceiver is stored inside the battery compartment (good when packing and traveling), and a white support strap lays down below the installed batteries so that it is easier to remove them when its time to change the battery. Be sure to go into Control Panel/Mouse and make any click-speed or mouse movement adjustments to your liking. I plan on buying another one of these for my second HP laptop. The USB transceiver is immediately responsive and you will see a red laser at the bottom of the mouse.

It works and is well priced.
This mouse works as well as much higher-priced brand-name items. It fits well in the hand. The durability is very good. Considering the price compared to other brand names, this is a very good value.
