Credit must be given to Dave Mustaine for wanting this headbanging record to sound good. The sound is loud and crunchy and the drums are absolutely ear-kicking… The removal of the reverb gives the album a completely different ambiance (the process was not as successful on “So Far, So Good…”). The new cover is actually quite interesting even if it doesn’t freak me out as much as the original.
Now to the bad part… I know it’s been said before, but this reissue is completely ruined by the BEEEEEPs on “These Boots”.
I’d recomend both versions of this album. For the original one look for the edition with “These Boots” UNCENSORED. It’s definitely a must get.
