Looks so exciting. And how nice are you, Mr Baggins, 'liking' my slightly whingey previous comment.

Pretty weak 5.1 mix. And Newsted's bass is only marginally more audible than in the original stereo mix, perhaps because Bob Ludwig was given the original mixes as an EQ reference for the 5.1.

Also: I recommend you set your playlist order to either "oldest first" or a custom order with the intro video as the first item. Currently, "One" plays first, then the intro.

Other “Justice for Jason” mixes tend to have the bass guitar mixed way too loud. This sounds about right, to my taste, for thrash.

As far as the strength of the mix goes, that’s fair. There’s only drums, bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar and vocal, so I think this does reasonably for those, but still. Little surround wow.
The mixes on The Videos get more interesting as the songs get more elaborate, if memory serves. I feel like listening again soon, as a matter of fact!

Thanks for the advice about play order. I didn’t know about those controls. LiS needs a manager!
