"Even though there are better bands out there, Malevolent Creation is still a good one. If you have QuickTime 4, the Enhanced CD looks great. Overall, this is a great CD for the price, if you are a fan of Death Metal, it should be in your collection. If you like great death metal, get CRYPTOPSY."
Manifestations Of Malevolence

"This is another important addition to my Malevolent Creation collection. I bought it in early 2000. I have been a huge Malevolent Creation fan since the days of Retribution and the rule of thumb has always been spare not the money whenever anything under the Malevolent Creation brand is released. The purchase of this release is no exception.
Now for my review. This is not another studio album by the band but it is a retrospective compilation or "best of" album. It is bassically a release package comprised of 2 CD's. The first CD features only songs from Eternal, Joe Black, In Cold Blood and The Fine Art Of Murder which are albums that the band released during their years on Pavement (now Crash Music). I'm pretty sure that some Malevolent die-hards and even the band itself is a little dissapointed with that because there were no songs from the band's first 3 albums. Personally, I would of wanted that but unfortunitely, life's a bitch. Anyway, this minior setback takes nothing away from this release because the song sellections are great. A lot of my favorite songs from those Pavement albums are here. So no big deal. The second CD is an enhanced CD featuring songs from their first 2 albums recorded live. The performances are devestating and totally brutal. There is also a CD-ROM portion of the CD with live footage. I've never been able to see it because I don't have a CD-ROM. So all in all, it's a great package and a true addition to the brutal collection of any Malevolent Creation maniac. So buy it and experience the f--king slashing manifestations of brutal death metal malevolence. Enjoy yourself and thrash away."
