I thought it was nice to have that balanced attack back in place. 'These Walls' is my favorite of the 2 tracks for what that's worth. It's interesting how people can hear different things on the same tunes. Very cool I think.

If anything should have been different, the buck stops with them. The one exception is that this could have been a mastering issue. Mastering can change the balance of some of the instruments, possibly causing a solo to be quieter than it should be. -Dan. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 May 2005 08:19:40 -0400 From: "Pierre Tessier" To: Subject: Please dont Message-ID: Please dont give out anything about the new album. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 May 2005 12:20:25 -0400 From: Ryan P Skadberg To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Re: Please dont Message-ID: Actually, that's a very good point. With the album just a few weeks away and it seemingly having been leaked, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure you at least say SPOILERS in big freakin letters before you talk about the new album. Thanks!

Just whether I liked what I heard. I can understand people wanting to wait though. I am far too impatient for that. Back to listening to...um nevermind.

I also documented my displeasure with it in this very maling list. Another ytsejammer has complained about Jordan in the mix. Leaving him so low in the mix is like a murder. He's one of the best keyboardist out there and I JUST CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.
