Not as good as the debut but still has some top tracks like 'Caligula' and 'They Need a War'.

Tier 3 thrash album IMO; it's good, but yes, I agree w/ Rufus, it doesn't sound as good as the debut. Good songs on this album, yet not that many killer ones even on the teutonic thrash standards. I'm preferring the songs Locked and especially Inverted Minds due to their in-your-face-ness; this is honest thrash with no trickery and it's rather succesfull at it

Surprsingly good in songwriting. The vocals drag it down somewhat for me.
I like the technical approach in Caligula -- and the melodic touch here and there.

Well I think 80's band should envy todays bands, its bad recording whit good ideas and music, and all bonus songs was even worst.

I agree about the vocals, they ruin the whole thing...

So it's "would envy" that makes sense here.
It's true about bad studio work, it still depends on how bad it was (from just a little bit to ridiculously bad )

You can have top notch production, but if the vocals are bad or the performance is not tight, it's just as bad.
