Reception

Let There Be Blood has met mixed reviews. The musical quality of the album has been praised, but reviewers have questioned the need for such a re-make,[4][5] with Cosmo Lee of Allmusic going so far as to accuse it of being a potential "cash-in" on the original album's legacy.[6] However, Gary Holt has said that the band was not trying to replace the original, but rather wanted to give the songs "the benefit of modern production."[citation needed] In its first week of release, Let There Be Blood sold 2,000 copies in the U.S.[7]
