How could you give this any less than 5 stars?

"This is an essential for any Life of Agony fan, or maybe even for a newcomer since it spans their whole career from their remastered demos to their more mellowed stuff in the later part of their career. Hearing the demos remastered like this is awesome, i just with they would have released a whole cd of their remastered demos! Songs like "Here I am, Here I Stay" and "Drowning" make me wonder why they never made it to River Runs Red. "Coffee Break" is an awesome B-side. A most excellent cover of the Zepplin tune "Tangerine", and with some live Ugly songs to top it off. It's really horrible that they had to break up but at least they left us with this."
Son, remember where you came from

"For either old fans or new fans, this is a must have. Yeah, you can get most of these songs on other releases, but do you want to blow 50 bucks on ebay for "The Stain Remains" demo or even attempt at tracking down a copy of "East Coast Assault" for "Plexiglass Gate"? It's all here! That being said, their cover of "Redemption Song" is phenomenal and it's given me a new way to introduce LOA to people who would never have listened to them. I really can't say enough about this band and what they've meant to me over the past 10 years. I was saddened when they left and even happier when they returned (even tho it looks like I won't be there). As always, the stain remains . . ."
