Just got word that these will be coming out soon and I'll be getting a copy of each to review. I know there are fans here so a heads up...

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM - CUATRO (REMASTERED + BONUS TRACKS)
Most bands were satisfied with being popular in the underground scene, Flotsam and Jetsam decided to take a step further and record an album aimed for the mainstream. "Cuatro", F&J's fourth full-length release, was precisely that album. The record proved that a thrash metal band can achieve success even on a bigger scale while still staying true to their roots. "Cuatro" - the band's fourth full-length album, was released in October 1992. The production is top notch - "Cuatro" is by far one of the best sounding thrash metal albums ever recorded. Producer Neil Kernon took a different, more straightforward approach resulting in a sharp, detailed sound, polished to perfection. Bonus Materials:

Re-release of Flotsam and Jetsam's most mature and successful release from 1995. The band recorded "Drift" in one of the hardest moments in their entire career. Still, they managed to do an incredible job and put together an amazing album, full of astonishing musicianship and memorable lyrics. "Drift" remains a true classic in F&J's discography, proving that the group is a thrash metal name that you simply cannot miss out on. A must-have for all thrash metal lovers!

I can say from experience that the Doomsday re-master kicks ass. They even included a cd of the old recording for comparison. No doubt the re-master is a major improvement.

^I hope the same happens for "When the Storm..." re-master. A great record that needed to be remastered urgently. Same thing goes for No Place For Disgrace.
