    I can only stand aghast at how awesome this thrash record is (this old-school body can't head bang anymore, mkay?). Really one of my favorites of the era. Band photo on the flip says it all - these boys ain't fucking around.

      There is no remastered version available. The only option is the Japanese CD version (1991 I think?) which for some reason sounds "better", cleaner more spacey with better instrument separation. Anyone else agrees?

        About time Testament put out a remastered version of this album, it will elevate it in most thrasher's top 100 or whatever, more obscure bands who put out one amazing album like Morbid Saint got their remaster..come on guys.
