Holy dipshit, you guys! Why is this so good? -- and I mean all of it, even the extra songs on the reissue are superb. Look at the band being formed in 73, did they worked for 10 years on these songs -- I wouldn't doubt it, I can hear effort has been put in to them.

Maybe Jimbo Hendrix would have played stuff like this if he had born about 20 years later than he did? Good mix of traditional heavy metal, old doom, some brilliant guitar mastery. These guys knew what they were doing (playing). My mind has been motherfucking blown by this material. It's futile to say what songs are better and what are worse when all of them are really good; maybe I would've left those parts with ambient sounds with thunder and whatever out, because those didn't do much for me, but otherwise it's a good record, great song material, I am impressed for 83.

Yes, really good, indeed, good catch. Though my expectations were too high after the brilliant opener and couldnt be fully fulfilled thereafter, but yeah all songs are worth a spin, at least. I didnt spin the reissue so no bonuses for me.
