"This set is an awesome find. These sets are available in other single sets each priced far higher than the price listed here. For the cost of a single cd you can get the best of the Peel Sessions featuring Napalm Death, Godflesh, Carcass, Extreme Noise Terror, Heresy, Bolt Thrower, Unseen Terror, and Intense Degree. The sound quality is top notch and the performaces capture each of the groups represented here during their later-formative years. It is just late enough to have a focused sound and identity but not so late as to have become tired and dated. Especially cool about this set is that the listener can compare each band side-by-side and discover the intricacies of each. Far too many people overlook these bands today. These groups spawned international scenes of copycat artists and many modern acts owe a lot to the innovation of these bands. If you are new to these groups then this is a great set to start your collection. If you are up to your neck in the studio albums from these giants of the metal world then this will suffice as a nice capstone upon which to center your collection. Awesome bands. Awesome sound. Awesome collection. Awesome price. You cannot lose. Five stars."
