"napalm death are back with "death by manipulation."it is quite a change from normal 52 second napalm death songs to 3 or 4 minute brilliant gems that deserve to be listened to.the chainsaw guitars, throbbing drums, piercing vocals, and back stabbing bass work together on this 3/4s album 1/4 live album that is beautifully sculpted to create an uproar of heavy as hell sounds and fast and furious beats.the sound quality goes from good to bad by song, creating a mix of the old sound and new sound of napalm death.this album is for anyone who are fans of agoraphobic nosebleed, nasum, or extreme noise terror.the best songs are mass apeal madness and suffer the children."

ESSENTIAL NAPALM DEATH.

"What can I say about this release other than it is a classic masterpiece.The songs are very heavy and extreme on this cd.The drumming is killer as always and barney greenway's vocals are sick.All the songs are great with mass appeal madness and siege of power as standout tracks.If you are a fan of the band then I would recommend you getting this one because you will not be disappointed.METAL RULES!!!"

Manipulated By Napalm Death

"So he we are with Napalm Death again. "Death By Manipulation" is really not an actual album, but more like a compilation or rare singles, EP's, and songs that were not used in their previous years. "Death By Manipulation" is a compilation of this material I have gathered, to the best of my knowledge: - Mentally Murdered 6-song E.P. (also which was the last of the classic Bill Steer/Lee Dorian line-up) - Mass Appeal Madness E.P. (Which contains 2 re-recorded songs from the "Scum" LP) - Suffer The Children 12" (Which features an instrumental Coil-ish version of "Harmony Corruption" not found on the original album itself) - This was also, sadly, the last few records with whirl-wind Grindcore drummer god Mick Harris.All and all, this is a Napalm Death album and by that, it does not dissapoint. The thing that struck me was that this was more of a return to their Grindcore roots of their first 2 albums than the total Death Metal sound or "Harmony Corruption". Really great songs, especially "Mass Appeal Madness", "Suffer The Children", "Seige Of Power", and 'Mentally Murdered". The album cover is really killer looking as well. Great addition to any Grindcore, or Metalhead's collection."
