In Color is a great album but I can see the valid criticism there. It's largely because the band were under pressure after the first album to produce something more radio frendly from their label, In Color is the result, if you take In Color for what it is with radio friendly power pop tunes then its one of the best ever recorded (Rolling Stone have it in their best 500 albums ever list) but if you're expecting the raw attack of the debut then its not there.

Sure you need to listen to their other stuff, its essential you start with the debut then In Color again (you may appreciate it more on another listen) and then Heaven Tonight and finally At the Budoken.

i really think you should check out Heaven Tonight, anyway, much stronger tunes
Yer the Albini mix is better and is another Trick release that sounds how it should've sounded back in 77.

Heaven Tonight is often seen as the complete Trick release, it has the raw energy of the debut combined with the tunefulness of In Color. Hell I love the title track.
