What reviewers say

Long regarded as one of the best metal albums ever made, and the remaster is generally welcomed for adding clarity without losing the aggression. Owners treat it as an essential pickup rather than a casual listen.

What people mention

SoundMixedThe remaster is praised for clarity, but the original dry, dense mix still divides listeners.
SongwritingPraisedOwners single out Battery, the title track and Orion as career highlights.
PressingMixedMost copies play clean, though some buyers report noise or warp on their pressing.
PackagingPraisedThe gatefold and two-LP layout are described as well presented.
ValueMixedFans who already own an earlier copy question whether the remaster adds enough.
