Listing a complaint of production quality on a DIY hardcore album from the early 80's is akin to complaining about too much distortion on a metal album. ST's first album wasn't thrash and I don't care what revisionists want to label it. Why?
I'm pretty sure Rocky didn't show up until Join the Army and that's when it started crossing over to thrash.

I don't find that Rocky's guitar really comes through with as much as power as on subsequent records and the volume is even on the lower end compared to other thrash albums

but it is. it's a thrash-punk fusion. is it pure thrash? no. but purity of sound can be boring. I will label anything to a genre if it is pure or a creative branch off from it. What makes ST so great was their direction of merging the two genres.
Plus when Slayer covers your song, you are fricking thrash!

I wouldn't call it thrash at all, and I can remember when I was listening to it back then, nobody thought it was anything but punk. It sounds more like DRI or something like that than anything metal at that point. It wasn't until later that they started to crossover.
I wanna be a facist pig.

True. The Tom Araya cameo in the "Institutionalized" video sort of gives a false impression.

You're 100% right. I completely forgot that Rocky George didn't join the band until Welcome to Venice in 1985.
