User Reviews about A Long March: The First Recordings

I love alot of the newer bands that are staying true to the metal sound and what makes metal the greatest music on earth! -- Great band!

I started listening to As I lay Dying in 2005 and I think this is terrific stuff. I would like to know who tagged this as "gay", because this is awesome. I suggest the chucklehead who tagged this as "gay" stick with listening to hip-hop, R&B, and pop. as far as metalcore goes, this is a band that refuses to compromise. as far as "new" stuff goes, I have never heard their EP's or their debut full-length album, so it sounds pretty new to me. I give this album 5 halos. (this is Christian metal) -- this is awesome material

There are 2 good songs on here. Reinvention and Beneath the Encasing of Ashes. Buy those two songs on itunes and abandon your ideas of owning the entire cd. -- 2 songs

AS I LAY DYING are the best metalcore band around and this cd proves just that, all the songs are straight out raw and brutal. This cd is a reprint of their early albums as they went out of print, and anyone that thought this cd was a dissapointment is a idiot and possiblly likes Hip Hop or Rap music, like the couple of reviews above this. How could you think this was new stuff (apart from the last 4 songs that have been re-recorded), maybe your mentally challangened. This album was made for people that DID NOT have Beneth The Encasing OF Ashes as it went out of print. Of course its gonna suck if you allready have it. But if you dont this is possibly the best AS I LAY DYING album out. I believe this is better that Frail or Shadows. -- AS I LAY DYING, THE BEST

This CD was a great purchase for me. For months now I have been trying desperately to get a hold of the original Beneath the Encasing of Ashes CD, however, I found nothing under $40. This CD was a great alternative for people like me, who just wanted a copy of their earlier stuff, for collection reasons.

If you're looking for the great As I Lay Dying sound that's in Frail Words Collapse, or Shadows Are Security, you won't find it here. And if you're buying this trying to find good quality songs from them, you'll be dissapointed. The main reason they released this CD is to keep their older releases on the market, so fans like me can purchase them without having the hassle of paying 40$ for a discontinued album. -- Beneath the encasing of ashes replacement
