Got my copy yesterday. First impression: Huge issue again!! I think this could be one of my favorite Snakepits ever. THRUST, the mysterious French band SLAUGHTER, early ANTHRAX, GRIFFIN, SENTINEL, BLACKKOUT. Just perfect. Also the GRIFFIN 7" is a ripper!
And since you asked for feedback regarding the review section: I wouln't really miss them to be honest, but i do read them anyway. If you can save time and make even more room for the features/interviews then throw them out!
