Overkill – Horrorscope

Sloppy, phoned-in reissue from Rhino. Fuzzy cover artwork clearly scanned from the CD cover and then blown up to 12". No lyrics, no liner notes, nothing of value. Shameful.

Clean sound but low volume, no insert, no lyrics, no nothing just the vinyl, if I decide to sell this I'll get this years re issue

This sounds really good. I honestly don’t really care about the lack of extras, but I do care that the cover doesn’t look as good as it should. That being said I’m 90% about the sound quality and if you’re like me, get this album.

Just got this in the male. I agree with the sentiments about the sleeve. No inner liner notes, photos, etc. Seems like a pretty lazy release on the outer sleeve with the pixelated artwork. HOWEVER, it sounds pretty darn good. Haven't heard an original, but it sounds light years ahead of the 320 kbps mp3 I have of this album.

Vinyl sounds ok to my ears, but unforgivably low-res artwork (very pixelated) and no liner notes or photos whatsoever except the band photo on the back, whereas the original release had a full booklet. Annoying to see so little effort put into a classic thrash album... particularly given the care Rhino puts into many of their re-releases, like the amazing Cars albums.

Hardly worth $20. Save your money and spend up ($40-$50) for an original.

Quick poll: Does anyone have a copy of this pressing that doesn't have a click or skip on "Blood Money?" I've had some issues with these Rhino pressings, but I keep hoping they'll get it right for some reason. With that said, some things were done well with this release. The sound quality is solid albeit a tad low in volume. Hearing this on wax will impress those who held onto their original 1991 CD pressing, which sounds flat and terrible. The decision to "brighten" the cover art is offensive, so I'm glad they didn't include a poster or any other cheap frills. Dark music deserves dark art. Long story short: If you hated "Blood Money" and want to hide this in your collection instead of highlighting it, this is the release for you. The rest of us will have to pony up the money for an original.

Just bought this. Sounds pretty nice albeit a bit of surface noise. I also have the pop sound in 'Blood Money' as others have reported. No printed inner - just a plain paper sleeve. I guess that's what $20 gets you these days. Sad too because I have other Rhino reissues that are super. I'm torn if I should return this and go for an original being as this is my favorite Overkill album.

There is a loud "click" on the song called "Blood Money", I bought two copies at different times and a friend also tested his pressing and it has the same defect. It came off the stamper, no cleaning will take it away.

awful pressing i think. too much music on each side of 1 LP. The record is clean but still skips in a few spots.
