Me too 
As for Trunk. Yeah, I witnessed his sycophantic cornering of Peter Baltes in person at the Gramercy in NYC. A most shameful display indeed
At the same time, he was quite right about how good BOTN is so...

Accept should not be mentioned with posers like Ratt.
HAAhaa, dude, the "no posers" mantra died when Ross The Boss left Manowar.
Anyhoo, yeah, the bonus track at [7] is a bit strange. But I have listened to this the whole weekend and it is growing in stature every day. Tornillos voice has a strange Bon Scott like quality that comes through every few songs. I'm glad he does not sound like Udo but his voice fits the music to a tee. The riffs simply slay me. Great comeback.

Doug Pinnick just had a birthday... #60! I was shocked that he's older the Rob Halford, and only 2 years younger then Tony Iommi and Ozzy.

A friend of mine helped set up the Cheap Trick show here in Phoenix back in late June and he showed me the printed setlist. It had that 70s Show theme on it, so I know they are playing it. Did you maybe take a bathroom break? Or maybe they think Canadians don't get That 70s Show and wouldn't recognize it?
As for the new Accept, HOLY SHIT! They really hit it out of the park on this one. The riffage is way old school (like Restless and Wild) but with massive production. This album definitely kicks my balls...or maybe it's the subwoofer. Or both!

No, I sat through the whole set. This was a 2 hour headlining show and they never did it. Or any Beatles covers for that matter which would have been great. I believe the show was in February of this year if I remember correctly.

Strange that they didn't play that 70s song.. or any beatles covers. I'm pretty sure they did both at that June concert. I'll check with my buddy and see if he still has the setlist.

cheap trick has been rotating their setlist a lot lately so probably left it out that show
This is my favourite disc in a long time. Did anyone order the t-shirt and CD from Nuclear Blast U.S.A.?
I'm thinking of getting it just because of the price, but that will give me a second CD.

Just got mine today and it's a burner. They did a great job and here's hoping for an extended tour in the States next year!
My view is clearly minority, apparently, but after a few weeks worth of spins, I dont think this record is as special as everyone else does. It's rather pedestrian, really. I like it, to be sure, but dont regard it as an 'album of the year' contender. 6.5/10 or maybe 7/10.
A better production might have improved it (damn you, Sneap) but the songs are the songs, right?
Tornillo is a positive, however. His Biff Byford / Bon Scott hybrid sound fits well.

I still don't see how the production could have been any "better." Most on the UM Andy Sneap board are drooling over the production (we're talking about 100s of audio engineers, many of whom have recorded our favorite albums) and consider Sneap one of the best metal engineers today. To each his own.
I will agree however that the record is quite good, but hardly a classic - at least to my ears. Only 4 songs have wound up on my ipod.

The production of the recording is excellent. However, because it's so compressed it falls short of what it could be.
Also those "Audio Engineers" that you speak of are probably do-it-yourself home engineers who don't have any formal experience/training.

A good number of them are. However guys such as James Murphy, Lasse from LSD (Recorded the Alestorm discs), Glenn (who recorded our disc), and countless other veteran producers also frequent it.
The new Accept disc isn't that compressed. It's certainly loud, but there are some dynamics and it's not distorted ala Death Magnetic. Personally, I wish mastering engineers would go back to mastering ala Slave to the Grind: decently loud but not cranked, and dynamic.
