When it comes to reissues, im rather skeptical about
them, you really have to weigh up the pros an cons,
personally i think there a bit of a rip off, most
people cant tell the difference between an original
and a reissue, there really only for new fans or
the die hard fans who have to have it. What may
make buying this album again, if you dont already
own this excellent album, is the live version of
the album which was played on December 30, 2008
in Bochum, Germany in which they played the album
in its entirety and in the same order two, with
this reissue, you also get a bonus track 'The Eyes
Of Horror' which isnt a bad track and goes well
with the rest of the album, sadly your not treated
to a live version of this song, also in the set
there is new liner notes written by the band. What
is there to say about this album that hasn't already
been written, its intelligent, well written, the
riffs are good and fast, the drumming is some of
the best you'll hear, its fast but precise. The
production on this album is was pretty good to begin
with its just seems to have been tweaked slightly.
Once Sent From The Golden Hall and The Avenger
have already been reissued, The Crusher is set
to be released on September 1st, its worth buying
if you dont already own it, if you already own
this album, it may be worth getting for the live
album, but you really must want it to justify
buying an album you already own for the sake of
an additional live album.
4/5
