Get the imports!!!
Pros:
Loud, fast, intense
Cons:
Death Star is slow; why not add a track like Raverbashing instead?

Author's Review
My first glimpse of Atari Teenage Riot came as a brief newspiece on MTV News back in winter of 97/98...I happened to have MTV on while cleaning my room for background noise and heard an interesting story, started to watch, and only got to hear a clip of "Speed."
Impressed, I went looking for the CD, and found a $25 import, which was beyond my purchasing power at the time, so I got something else.
About 6 months later I happened to see Atari Teenage Riot at another store, this time for $13. I still remembered the news segment and promptly bought it.
And was blown away. This CD is perhaps the most ferocious I've ever heard.
However, I soon learned the CD I saw for $25 had a different track listing with more songs, so I purchased it, along with every CD with a different ATR song on it I could find.
And soon discover "Burn, Berlin, Burn," while still being awesome, was simply a mix of "Delete Yourself!" and "The Future of War" that left out the more melodic elements of ATR.
While not their forte, more dance oriented tracks such as "Hetzjagd auf Nazis," "Sex," and "Redefine the Enemy" are still outstanding and sadly missing from "Burn, Berlin, Burn."
If you like ATR, get the other CDs. THey're worth the price.
However, if you're on a budget, or you don't like the other songs(back when I got these CDs, MP3s were on a much more underground status), "Burn, Berlin, Burn" is perfect.
