The first time I heard it in 1989, aged 14, was a turning point in my life. It made everything I'd heard previously pale into near insignificance. For several years afterward I could barely stand to listen to anything that did not at least aspire to convey a similar intensity, although I've yet to hear anything that quite gets there. As with so many hardcore bands who were lucky enough to record a session in the BBC studios for John Peel, it's their finest quality recording. The generous use of effects such as reverb is unusual for Napalm Death around that time, and adds an extra edge to some of the recordings.
This release is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of Napalm Death's recording history, shortly before the first "proper" line-up dissolved and the remains of the band left their hardcore thrash/punk sound behind to follow a more death metal sound with the newer members.
