Yeah, I can see your point. I was just going by the collective whole of each album. Both of the previous Bat's seemed to have a solid beginning, middle and end. Each album was a journey. I too don't like many of the songs on Bat 3, production wise and disagree with most track selections in general. But, it did have a beginning, middle and end. MIL, Monstro/Alive and Cry to Heaven.
Of course it comes across as a cheap knock off of the first two, which it is.
Dead Ringer had a journey to it as well, just not as grandiose as on Bat1 and 2.
Or not, I don't know. It's Friday and I'm getting off work. Mind is elswhere...as always.
