I just sold my tickets to "Louder Than Life" festival. I'll still be attending the Pittsburgh show but the more I hear this album the less I'm liking it. I think it has some great songs on it and I agree with JD with the Painkiller comparisons but I guess I'm just one of those trendy idiots because I think the production is almost as bad as the production on "Jugulator". This album has so much potential but for some reason whoever did the producing held them back. Not sure if Glenn is afraid to let Richie showcase his skills or what the deal is but the guitars sound so low they sound weak. Then they turned the bass and drums up too much. You need to crank it to get good sound but then the bass and drums are too much. The first couple of weeks I couldn't get enough of this CD but now I have trouble even putting it on. I can't see spending close to a grand and not really enjoying who I wanted to see the most. I know Korn will kill it and so will a few others but I've seen more than 75% of the acts scheduled this or last year already so it still wouldn't be worth it.. I bought the new Avatar, Gemini Syndrome, Mushroomhead, and other (current band's) new discs and everyone of those CD's have better production quality than the new Priest cd. I think Val had a perfect review of "Redeemer". A few less songs would make it easier to listen to. In closing I'd like to say this may be my last post here. I won't mention names but I believe I drove at least a couple of people away from here and I know this will probably draw criticism which normally(for me) starts back and forths that no one wants so leaving will keep the peace amongst the remaining regulars. Becks, I'm glad you are finally getting to see "Priest". Soundwave would be an awesome experience even without them so you should get off on that. Guido, still not sure how you felt about me but negative or otherwise thanks for anything you helped me with. To anyone that's ever been decent with me thanks. Jimmy, Wow, where to start. My number one regret and something I still haven't lived down. To you I would like to apologize. To the rest, take care. Peace "all"!!!
