| I missed the entire download, so I've only heard the 90 second samples & the edit of Going All the Way, but I'm more than surprised by how much I like what I've heard. I knew Meat's voice would be shot, but I really wasn't prepared for how much worse it's gotten even since Hell in a Handbasket. That said, there are enough X Factor/American Idol clones around & hearing an older, time-ravaged voice doing Steinman is actually pretty thrilling. It works especially well on Souvenirs for me & yes, the opening of Only When I feel sounds utterly insane! The production is decent - I don't love the drums in places, they sound a bit too flat, but the piano - when it breaks through the mix - is almost perfect. Karla & Ellen sound phenomenal. It's poignant hearing them sounding almost no different to 40 years ago & Meat sounding so battered. I'm not sure about Loving You - although when the female vocal kicks in with the piano backing it brightens up considerably. From the sample, it sounds like they've swapped roles, with Meat doing Bonnie's part & the female vocalist doing Todd's. Not sure why. The only disappointment at the moment is the last 3 tracks which - at least from the short bursts I've heard - seem a bit flat. Hopefully they'll make more sense in full. Oh and Who Needs the Young sounds fucking awesome! Meat actually sounds a bit like Jim now, what with the growl in his voice. So, yeah, overall - I'm pretty excited for September now :) (and at least it gives me something to cheer in this post-Brexit depression over here...) > FUCKING DEMENTED CLOWNS HOLDING PUMPKINS BEGGING FOR > EXORCISMS --> DEVILS PLAYGROUND AND VIRTUAL ORGY MADE IT > INTO MORE.... > > ONLY WHEN I FEEL - HE DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO SHIT THE NOTES > > THE ALBUM STARTS OFF AMAZING....IT'S LIKE A NEAR DEATH > ACID TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! > > | |
