TLOHC is an odd album for me...  I remember feeling vaguely disappointed by it when it first came out (probably because Impurity is still to this day my fave NMA album) and yet, as the years have gone on, I've grown to bloody love it (still think that b-sides from this era were better than some of the stuff on the album but whatever)  ;).  Maybe not Top 5 but certainly Top 10.

Were you expecting some 30th anniversary reissue?  Please clarify.

^^  Yeah, an expanded edition for the occasion of it's 30th Anniversary could have been interesting.

I was also unamazed by the album when I bought it on release. As I could only find the original cassette at the time the album didn't get much play time until I bought the CD years later.

It's a good album though perhaps some of the B-sides should have had a spot on it. Now it doesn't really matter as I can build a playlist from my rips and re-sequence it.

It's an excellent album the first four tracks are especially impressive!
And i like how the album sounds, punchy production!
