4 out of 5 stars An excellent release by Manilla Road.......2003-10-02

It's hard to imagine why Mark Shelton and Co. were unhappy with this material when it was originally recorded. This entire disc is great. Some Manilla Road fans may find it difficult to get into upon the first few listens, but once it grabs you, it won't let go. The first two tracks, and the last two tracks are some of the most mellow music that Manilla Road ever released, but the middle six tracks are all rather heavy. Much of this disc borders more on 1970s style hard rock, rather than metal, but it's all still definitely Manilla Road. As mentioned in the last review the sound quality is not the greatest throughout, but that should be expected. I give this 4 stars because it does not quite reach the greatness of "Crystal Logic," but "Mark of the Beast" is a definite must for all Manilla Road fans.

5 out of 5 stars Possibly the best Manilla Road release of all Time!.......2003-02-09

Manilla Road has been a favorite of mine since the early 80's. Mark Shelton is a great songwriter, guitarist, and has a very unique voice for heavy metal. It's hard to believe that this lost treasure was never released previously, as this disc contains some of their strongest material. I was blown away listening to it, the melodies are superb and the progressive power of the tracks is amazing! The only minor complaint is the occasional fadeout in some spots, due to the condition of the original tapes.
