Forty years....??? It feels like yesterday I was browsing the albums at Sound Warehouse and saw the album for the first time and ended-up buying it.

Not the goat . It’s guitar sound is cool but the production is lacking alot. If the production was better and they used a mess it would be the best album

Disagree. I assure you at the time the production sounded massive and the guitar tone was one of most brutal ever recorded. People make the mistake of listening to vintage recordings with modern ears.

For the time period.....this was a next level release production wise. Guitars weren't thrashy or really distorted, tight and massive sounding before this. And I'm not a Metallica fan whatsoever but its the truth

Absolutely. That was the first of it’s kind, next level aggression and brutality.
 
RTL guitar sound was game changer for me.

...then there was Cliff Burton. If he lived, I think we would have seen more RTL, MoP,...
 
8/8 album. Even if I went full on trans, that wouldn’t be as game changing as this album was
