I don't see the issue really. This is a heavy metal album mixed with some holdover thrashy riffs.

The issue is it's a Celtic Frost album.

This a million times. I think it's a bit tired and lacking in passion that was there earlier on with the band, but it's sort of like Never Say Die! by Black Sabbath, which would've probably been heralded as a prog rock/heavy metal classic if it weren't released under the Black Sabbath name. Megadeth's Risk is another good comparison imo, though I haven't listened to that one in full.

Not familiar with either of those albums, but Cold Lake was just so obviously a weak attempt at selling out and cashing in on glam metal. I think it sucks either way, and it's an embarrassment when you consider what the band used to be

That's a fair take. I didn't really think it was great, but it wasn't a displeasure for me to listen to and I'm still glad I did. I don't get how they thought it would be successful though, too raw for radio airplay and too dumbed-down for the underground metal scene. It feels like malicious compliance, as if they were asked by the label to write a radio-friendly album and then half-assed it out of spite, though I don't know if that's really what happened.

Cold Lake is the moment they went from Keltic Frost to Seltic Frost.
