Review - Yahoo! Music - Craig Rosen :
Compilation offers fans an early look at the Maniacs with the re- release of the band's two independently issued efforts, 1982's Human Conflict Number Five EP and 1983's Secrets Of The I Ching.Review - AMG :
Hope Chest collects the ultrarare early recordings of 10,000 Maniacs -- the Human Conflict Number 5 EP from 1982 and Secrets of the I Ching from 1983 -- remastered and resequenced presumably for easier listening. While the songs are predictably unfocused and full of underdeveloped (though ambitious) ideas, these recordings give an interesting picture of the band's formative years. ~ Chris Woodstra, All Music Guide
