In this remastered collection of re-releases, Twisted Sister are very well revitalised. The sound is fantastic and really brings them into the present with nothing lost besides perhaps the years. That proves, if anything, that some things can be improved with age. This is still a very enjoyable record after all this time thanks to the re-production work. Not that it wasn’t enjoyable before, but the re-mastering really helps in the case of this fun band, where some things don't stand the test of time so well. It has a very crisp and clean sound that renders these recordings very bright. It’s nice to have an opportunity to revisit one of these (remastered)CD's. I don't get the usual effect here from the remastering that I usually do, as mastering these days can be absolutely disastrous sounding because of the regulated levels being what they are in the whole sound war. For interesting insight on that one need look no further than the great Kevin Shirley for a full understanding of what's going on there. This job was done by Scott Hull, and done very well. One of the better selling points along with remastering, is we get a bonus track as well.

I always loved the usage of the Warriors movie bit with the pop bottles in the intro to this, and it reaches out and grabs the ears much better than the original release. This title track stands the test of time thanks once again to the remastering job. So it sounds to me like the remastering has been taken good care of in terms of awareness and I'm so glad to say a grand effort was made here, hats off to the great Scott Hull at Masterdisk.
