Dang I wish I could have found the jewel case version.
you know, I'm starting to think 3D origami style foldout CD cases are wicked cool. There's a lot of potential there.
No offense or anything dude, but have you not been reading every single interview and review of the album since Gigantour?I got it today.
Very good CD, but some songs were super heavy.
Kind-of on the same scope as "King of Terrors" on "The Oddessy" CD.
I did not know that this was going to be a super heavy CD.
I was expecting another Progressive CD like "V - The New Mythology" or a CD with a ton of melody on it like "The Divine Wings of Tragedy" CD.
On some songs, it sounded like Russell was just yelling instead of singing.
But the guitar work from Romeo is outstanding as always.
Just got from FYE. Immediately heard "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" and then put this CD in. My ass is totally being handed to me as I speak!
Oh joyous day. Turns out my order with Impulse Music got fucked up somehow. No confirmation of any kind. But FYE had it for even cheaper, so the gods of metal have smiled upon me! The title track is playing and that has to be a slice of paradise itself. Russ's voice is empassioned like nothing else! I have waited like you all for YEARS, and this moment is everything I expected.
Incredible job, SX! Paradise Lost =
THE WALLS OF BABYLON IS THE BEST SONG EVER WRITTEN OF ALL TIME!!!
God, that felt good.
