Review

Although W.A.S.P. were way past their prime by the time they recorded Double Live Assassins, the record is one of the highlights of the latter part of their career. The group sounds surprisingly tough, turning out hard-driving versions of such staples as "The Headless Children." Any serious fan should investigate this double-disc set, but if you're satisfied with the original albums, chances are you won't need to pick this up. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
