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.

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.
