this cd was originally supposed to be to be an eu. only release. the the label who released it kinda got greedy, among being totally shady in other aspects and started distributing it here in the u.s. at a crazy high price, way more than just an "import" price would regularly be, so Converge being the totally awesome band and dudes that they are took it upon themselves to have it re-released here in the u.s. and am so glad they did because to this day as amazing as their catalog is.. this release remains my favorite. it's a compilation cd and i'd love it if 2 things would happen.. 1. it would get remastered and 2. all songs re-recorded. we need to do a mass email/facebook/twitter/smoke signals/morse code campaign to Hydra Head Records and/or Converge themselves facebook / twitter for at least a remastered release. not sure they'd go for it being that it's a compilation release though and another thing that'd be awesome is another compilation cd with all their splits, 7" releases and singles.!! yes indeed sweet for us non record nerds. at least for me it's to late in the game to try to track down all the vinyl releases.. i don't have the energy nor the loot needed for such a herculean task because it seems like dudes who have all the sweet oldies and for whatever reason want to sell them it's kinda like they're planning their retirement off of the sell of the record and i don't mind seeing someone make a buck or two but some of these cats are lookin to make a house payment from a sell but whatever, i'm definitely psyched for their new release and dvd.!! anyway.. on to the content...

by the way.. blogger resizes the images for ease of bandwidth for viewing but if you "save as" the images off of the site they will save in the resolution i uploaded and they are.. covers and inlay img's 1600x800, cds 800x800 and tray card img's 1000x800. these are edited and resized by myself from the original scans because of img size and img file sizes so if for any reason you want the original scans let me know and i'll upload them somewhere for you.
