This collection includes some of Death in June's first releases. Their first 12" and 7" EPs as well as songs from The Guilty Have No Pride and Burial LPs. At the time when Death in June was still not solely the work of Douglas P., but the co-founders, Tony Wakeford and John Murphy, were also in the band.

The name of the album describes the theme well. The lyrics are misanthropic (in the philosophical sense of the term) and heavily anti-Judeo-Christian. Also, very simplistic and plain.

Music is mostly based on heavy bass-lines and drums. No beauty is present, nor is much aesthetics. At this time, Death in June still trusted more on hammering the message in than turning it into beautiful poetry that only a few people would understand. The target audience is supposedly pretty much the same, though. Maybe later on Death in June has started trusting their audience' intelligence a little more.

Some of the songs are musically even close to common punk songs, like "In the Night Time" from their first 12" EP, of which we don't like very much. The best song on the album is "Death of the West" with its sarcastic lyrics.
