Creation History
Criticism Reviews
(<...>) But what we hear now on the disc is almost a studio recording: even Metallica doesn’t sound so smooth, clean and without crap! However, in this case, crap and crookedness are not needed - they are already enough in our rock clubs, but at home I still want to listen to the best things of our favorite group in a performance close to the original and with a high-quality sound. Thus, "Live / Best" turned out to be an almost perfect release: 80 minutes of excellent-sounding "live / best" are packed in a 6-panel digipack and equipped with a 12-page booklet, but what else is needed for the complete happiness of a devoted group fan?
