Okay that's it. We need someone to photoshop the Don Smiley onto an image of Jesus on the cross just for moments like this. :wink: :lol: :mrgreen:


This is as close as I ever got to doing that...

I'm not too thrilled with that cardboard thingie Wal-Mart has the disc packed in. I'm going to hit up Little Tokyo after the Jap release date and see if the import version has a more attractive package. I don't mind paying the extra 20 bucks for a prettier box. It's only once every few years anyway. If it's cool enough I'll even post pics, whenever that may be.

Once and for all get your head (ears) out of your ass and LISTEN. The vocals are weak and that is a fact. Soto would've KILLED on these songs. The only songs you can HEAR Arnel clearly are the slow songs. He can not provide the heavier vocal to match the instruments.
But we all know , you're always right and our opinion are always rubbish to you , Adolf ;).

Now that, I completely agree with. I'm not digging digipacks where the disc inserts directly into the cardboard sleeves. I think it scuffs up the discs, and I HATE them. If they at least have the plastic snap-in for the disc, I can tolerate them.

If you find a better package, would love to see pics.

Dude did you listen to the same thing I did?!?!
If I could hear Arnel any better my ear drums would break. Loud, clear and powerful.

Dude, check yourself.

For starters, you dropped "rubbish." Who the fuck says "rubbish" and isn't a limp wristed faggot from London? Jon Waite perhaps? He sucks cock anyway.

2nd, you are tone deaf. From the tunes I have heard, IMHO, they deliberately muddied Pineda's vox in the mix....NO WAY would that ever ever, I mean ever happen if Perry were in this once great band. I sincerely believe this album is a showcase of Schon's guitar work, and the vocals just kind of come along for the ride. This record is Schon's, not Journey's. I am being serious as a dick in the ass too.

Around here all I have to do is pay attention to where the criticism comes from and I know it's a winner.

I keep forgetting, some of the criticisms are made based on BitTorrent tracks. No doubt they fail to do the songs justice at 56k or whatever. :)

No need Rippy.

I am bailing out again. It was a nice little 24 hour detour, but dammit, it just isn't for me.

You kiddies have fun circle jerking each other off to Eclipse. LOL, seriously, I am happy for you all.

PS- Andrew, despite how incredibly shitty your music tastes are, I will never ever run you down after what you and your wife tried to do for me. Thank you Mate(s).

Can't wait. :D And I love Arnel's vocal tone on the songs. I've always loved his tone, not just his power. I didn't think his tenor vocals would come through, because it was heavier rock, but they did.
