"A great early death metal album. The production quality is pretty low, and this is easily one of the least technical albums Death released, but it is still great. If you are interested in getting into old school death metal, this is a good starting point. My favorite track is probably born dead." Reply
"An enjoyable record with a nice raw sound with Mick especially blowing some wonderful harp. Being the blues it can get to being a bit samey but it's not too bad at all.

"Another classic album from Fairport Convention. This is beautiful folk/rock music with both Sandy Denny and Richard Thompson on top form. Fotheringay, I'll keep it with mine, she moves through the fair, and, meet on the ledge, are the picks for me. Great." Reply
