4.0 out of 5 stars Sound Finally Up To Par, August 9, 2007

This review is from: Children (Audio CD)

This was always my favorite Mission album. The only problem was the poor mastering that rendered the original CD so quiet (even by 1988 standards) that it was difficult to crank. The CD finally sounds decent with this remastered version. Personally, I wish the guitars had been mixed a bit louder, but it was 1988.

The album itself flows beautifully from the opener Beyond The Pale, to the closing Hymn For America. There is certainly bombast and the ridiculous Led Zep rip-off Black Mountain Mist could've easily been left off. But as a whole, I thought this was the peak CD, their Joshua Tree of sorts. There was a genuine air of foreboding and danger that was never captured again.
