What a bizarre release. These songs are all thrash classics, but re-recording them is even less interesting than a live album. Chuck Billy's voice is certainly more metal nowadays, and the guitar tone on these recordings beefier... but still, cash-grab or contract fulfillment releases are not worth it.

2.5/5 - if all these songs were classics, this would be embarrassing... but the songs still rock, 15 years after the fact. But! Best to listen to the originals.
