I also think this album was their finest hour, though I also love Faith/Seventeen Seconds/Carnage Visors nearly as much.
Still, this album sounds so original still (I really don't know of anything that sounds quite like it), and in its time it was a pretty bold statement. Heavy, drugged, harsh and desperate. I like the drum sound on this album, even though it dates itself. Bought a deluxe 180g Simply Vinyl reissue a few years back, and it was worth every penny. I'd listened to it literally hundreds of times since the early/mid 80s, and I heard new things in it that I had never noticed before.
