CD contains 2 bonus tracks.
HEAVEN AND HELL is Social Distortion`s finest hour, the crystallization of all the elements that made it a great band. The country and rockabilly influences cultivated on previous albums are fully integrated here, so that Jimmy Work`s country classic "Making Believe" sounds perfectly at home amid Mike Ness`s own compositions. It`s often hard to tell whether the band is punking up covers of old country and rockabilly tunes or incorporating those influences into its own songs, and that`s the telling mark of assimilation. Ness`s songwriting is at its sharpest and most memorable here. The powerful guitar assault achieves a newfound clarity here, which made it possible for the most melodic offerings on HEAVEN AND HELL ("Bad Luck") to achieve heavy radio play and raise the group to a new level of popularity.
