    There is a huge improvement in sound quality with this release. It sounds much bigger, clearer allowing you to hear more of what's going on in the mix. Some of the remix choices are strange and the drums sound better abut not as good at the same time. The biggest problem is the lame horns and the beginning of "Into the Lungs of Hell". They sound awful and completely out of place. What was he thinking? Remixes never replaced the original. Its fine to have as an extra almost like having a live version of an album but never replace the original.

      Usually I don't mind remixes/remasters but this one kinda sucks. If it's not broken, don't fix it.
