Is the Redemption CD worth buying?

I heard the mp3 offered for download at www.lasercd.com anyway, I thought it was absolutely horrible. The singer (to me) sounded horrible and the music was kind of repetitive. I will have to hear some more songs before i decide to shell out some money for it.

I see it features Jason Ruillo, and hs Micheal romeo as a guest. Anyone heard anything off this side project? Is it any good?

I have an order in thru MetalAges. Soon as I get it and have an serious listen, I'll let you know. (Now I'm worried, tho from Soul of Ice's post) :zombie:
 
LOL. Well here's the thing., I have had the cd for over 6 months, Nick is a friend and one hell of a cool guy. That being said without being biased I like the album alot. Rick from Steel Prophet sang on most of the album, Ray Alder sings on one track, one of the best on the album "Desperation part II" .The only problem I have with the album is that Rick's vox don't fit some of the songs that great, he does a good job, I just think he doesn't fit that style well and it really doesn't matter becuase Corey Brown is now the singer for the band, so I know they will kick ass live at PPUSA. Rullos drumming kicks ass as usual, thats a given. Romeo only helped out with Orchestration, no guitar work on the album. Bernie V from Fates, Engine and Agent Steel plays leads and does a great job on it as well. Joey Vera is the bass player, what else could you want, thats a great line up!!

I am playing Redemption songs (among alot of other killer metal) tonight on my radio show at around 8:00 PM EST, if you want to hear before you buy come into the Dementia Chat and let's talk about it!!

The band will be totally different with Corey Brown singing, much better in my opinion as well.

Why didn't Corey sing on the album, then?

I've been following the album via their website for several months. I listened to a couple clips, and i kind of enjoyed them, but i downloaded 'As I Lay Dying' and i really can't get over the vocals. I give them credit for covering a Police song, but vocals really make or break bands for me, so i doubt i'll be purchasing it.

I just got Psyco Drama's "The Illusion" and Corey sounds great on this too. Still looking for the first Magnitude 9.
After a few listens, I can say I like the cd, but I'm amazed at how much Corey improved from his days with Psyco Drama and now.

I believe it was just going to be a studio project,not exactly sure about that though, I will have to ask Nick. Corey just joined the band and this album was recorded over a year ago.

Another reason why the Progpower announcement came out of nowhere, as I thought the album was a one-off with no intention of performing it live...

I was anxiously waiting for something really good, but I hate it. I think it sucks and I'm sorry I wasted any money on it. There you have my opinion.
(Sorry Jason, sorry Mike).....big disappointment for me anyway.
