      Not sure people complaining about this have heard the original

        sound quality is afwul, remaster just means pushing every knob to the limit these days. it's thrash but that doesn't mean that it should sound like trash.

          Great album from my favourite NYC thrash band. This album has been plagued with terrible reissues and remasters. If you can find a copy of this, it sounds as it was intended. It doesn’t have the greatest production to begin with, but this release is not the distorted mess that has been made available for the last 20 years.

            I've heard worse. Glad to have it in the stable.

              This sounds like trash. The High Roller Records version is much better.

                Well, it’s a Back On Black t, so it’s not very good… Direct digital transfer with much distortion, flat, muffled low end…you know the story. Cover art is blown out and the colors are dull. My friend has the 1989 In-Effect pressing and we A-B’d it. Highly recommend that pressing. Sounds 100% better and the cover art looks great / colors are vivid.

                  This album has always sounded like it was recorded inside a tin shed, and this version is NOT a remaster - this is
                  "as it was" in 1989. The pressing itself is fine, no issues - the production is still noisy, full of reverb, and like it was recorded on a four-track that was micc'd from across the room (it probably was).

                  That said - it still sounds a LOT better than the Cassette or the (horrible) CD release.

                  The tunes? Those are absolutely killer - some truly fantastic classic thrash.

                    It doesn’t get much better. High energy, unhinged, chaotic beauty. One of the best thrash records from one of the best thrash bands to ever do it.

                      The sound it’s terrible. I've wasted my money on this reissue.

                        Another great thrash album from Nuclear Assault,unfortunately the last one that kicks ass.
                        Some thrash bombs,killer riffs and amazing loud bass from Mr.Lilker made this album one of the best metal albums in 1989.
                        New Song,Critical Mass,Inherited Hell,Search and seizure....all of them are real bangers.
                        The production is little dirty but it punches you straight and hard directly in your head.
                        Only flaw is addition of 6 live tracks from Hammersmith Odeon that sounds awful.
                        Listen to Handle With Care and enjoy another thrash bomb from this New York boys.
