From Acid to Zen is the second compilation album by the Norwegian rock band BigBang. It is the band's first album released exclusively for the American market and consists mainly of previously released material, in addition to two new songs, "The One" and "Savior Soul". It was released on September 9, 2008. [1]
David Fricke of Rolling Stone chose the album as his "Fricke's Pick", calling it a "big step in a bigger gamble", and described it as a "shotgun buffet, like those early U.S. LPs by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones that combined album tracks and singles from unrelated sessions, and it succeeds the same way: like an instant greatest-hits record".
