I’ve been a fan since Altars came out way back when and after an eight year wait Illud was like a kick to the head it was so bad. Well, Trey gave Vincent, Destructhor and Tim the boot. It’s got the speed, the riffs and a great lead at the end. but it’s still a straight ahead blast off to what is a great album. This song has been universally praised by just about every website and I don’t understand why. One of the longer songs but it has a ton of twists and turns that held my attention. Sludgy with insanely fast double bass. Tucker’s an accomplished bassist so it’s nice to hear more of him in this song. The Earth was supposed to sound like originally lol. Declaring New Law. The song starts out monstrous but sort of fizzles. The Fall of Idols. Tucker is on FIRE on this song. In this day and age where every underground recording has crystal clear production, Kingdom’s Disdained is VERY old school sounding. It sounds muddy but once I played around with the settings on my phone (Hint, ease up on the drums a little) it sounds awesome now. It’s raw, dirty and clear if that makes any sense. I had it turned all the way up to max on my headphones and it’s still not as painfully loud as most modern releases. Scotty on drums……finding a replacement for Pete was not easy but he’s got the power, the technique and most importantly the swing and groove Pete had. Steve….a lot of people side with Vincent since he was on the bands classic albums. Hopefully we won’t have to wait ten years for the “L” album. (Favorite Songs). Piles Of Little Arms. D.E.A.D. Righteous Voice. For No Master. Fall of Idols. Songs I didn’t care for but still aren’t bad. Kingdom’s Disdained, Raw, brutal, brilliant and a true return to form from the masters themselves."
"With the return of Steve Tucker, Morbid Angel has made a return to the pure death metal at which they've always excelled."
"Trey Azagthoth is back with some of the most evil and menacing sounding riffs and some of the most slime ridden spaced out solos from another dimension you will swear you opened up a gateway from Hp Lovecrafts Necronomicon. If you are curious if Morbid Angel are phoning it in or doing an industrial electronic dance album I'm here to inform you HELL Fu@ng No! This album will one day be mentioned with the band's greatest works and will have you banging your head and roaring with approval and celebration that the gods of extreme metal have truly returned!"

"When the set first came out I was very uneasy about purchasing it mostly b/c the members have nothing to do w/ the set at all as far as packaging, art work, remastering, etc.... track selection is great and it has a few songs that are not on the orig albums."
"Exactly what I was looking for!"
"This is an awesome set of 4 CD's."
"Song choices are subjective."
"Great career retrospective in an interesting format."

"This is a good album to rock out to if you like hard driving music."
"I was about to go on a short trip with a lot of driving, and I love listening to Disturbed while I drive, so I bought the entire CD from Amazon so I could burn it right before the trip."

"The album is just great all around metal and like the concert if I had to pay money to see them, I got my money's worth with the album. Most new metal out there nowadays is a few kids still in high school screaming about problems that only impact teens and I can't relate to that crap."
"Cant go wrong with 5 Finger Death Punch!"
"The only bad thing about this disc is that I can't imagine the band ever surpassing the quality of the music herein. Bathory writes some excellent and memorable riffs, and Ivan Moody's vocals are beyond reproach. Moody lifts those other outfits, but it's his pairing with Bathory that creates the heavy metal holyland."
"I just looked into FFDP because I was looking another bands website and there was the FFDP logo and I was like well they seem pretty cool."

"Love it very good sound and songs I never heard before."
"Never knew he sang bluegrass."
"He did covers of songs that were not on albums, so it gave the listener, some songs that the title Something, Old, New, Borrowed and Some Blues truly captured. This is a CD for Fogelberg fans and those who appreciated the LA Rock music of Jackson Browne, Eagles, Poco, Stephen Stills, etc."
"I was mesmerized by "Don't Let That Sun Go Down"--the sheer grittiness, power and bluezy quality in his voice was incredible."
"I don't think Dan has ever released a song that wasn't a hit."

"One of my all-time favorite David Gilmour performances!"
"Awesome."
"Gilmour ended his On An Island Tour with this show which features the Baltic Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra conducted by Zbigniew Preisner. The disc also features a making of featurette called Gdansk Diary which also covers some background on the Solidarity movement in Poland. These performances include highlights from the Island tour recorded at the Mermaid Theatre in London, The AOL Sessions in New York and Live at Abbey Road."
