That said, I think the drums are slightly too high in the mix but they have always been loud and it suits the band's sound.

If it was not for the several sub-par songs (Fury Within, Tombeau, Hell Envenom) I'd call this their best release.
Well, a listening experience is always subjective so, maybe it's my ears or my stereo(s). Still, I don't find the production muddy - there is just so much going simultaneously so much of the time, that the overall mix is just too...powerful, for lack of a better term, for its own good at times. Push Webster up a bit and the drums(kicks especially)down a hair or two and we might be onto something. Again, your milage may vary...
