My Rating:  A+

Holy shit... this is a disc everyone needs to get.  I can't believe this!!! The quality of the recording on these songs is absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!  This beats the shit out of the quality of any of the demos I've ever heard before, including the Outcesticide series.  The Sifting Jam, which has always been one of my favorite demos, is absolutely PERFECT quality here, without a doubt.  I can't fucking believe this disc.  Seriously, you have to get it to understand.  I recommend this disc to everyone, it's probably the best quality stuff I own.  I would say that this is comprable to what it might sound like if GEFFEN released a demos CD.  GET THIS NOW!!!!!!!!
