Ripper sounds like a poor man's Bruce Dickinson

[Spirit Of Vengeance]

Been listening to the Reckoning for the last week or so. Ripper sounds an awful like Brucie D., obviously with less range in the lower scale and more hoarseness. The vocals to "Valley Forge" reak of a Bruce Dickinson tribute. This certainly isn't a bad thing since I adore 'Maiden. I think it might take a little while to get used to it but I am encouraged by the EP even though it sounds a little rushed in terms of production quality.

 

[Rottuated]

He's much higher than Bruce Dickinson.

 

[icedsymphony]

Yea, valley forge made me think of Bruce. The vox aren't high on forge either. Actually I think that's the best of the EP, great solo.

 

[Hypnos666]

Ahh! I still need to get it. My parents hate anything I listen to, so I can't buy anything with them around. And I need to get the cash to buy it also...Also, this confuses me...I've heard encouraging things about Reckoning, but I've also heard discouraging things about it.

You could always download the tracks in the meantime...or I could send them to you over IM

I think Ripper sounds really good.

I think Ripper sounds really good.

Me too. But I was used to him already because I have the Judas Priest Metal Meltdown live album with him on vocals. Hes very good I think.

Hypnos start saving your cash and just get the limited ed. in January it will have everthing on there including all the EP stuff. Also it's good, don't get caught up by the Iced Earth hater's here. Those are the dudes who have been defending st. anger.

Gimme a break. Just cause they don't like The Reckoning (it's good IMO,but not up there with Dark Saga and Burnt Offerings) you portray them as people who like (defend,as you said) something that the majority of people here don't?

I'll try and get the 2cd version too...

I love Rippers voice! I think there's a little Dio and obviously Halford in his voice as well.

 

[Rottuated]

I still prefer Matt, but Ripper is a good singer.

 

[Iced In Flames]

Why is the Reckoning single so fucking expensive? I refuse to pay $10 for a single with ripoff cover art.

 

[icedsymphony]

It's $7.99 where I got it.

AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA




That deserves a 6 pack.

 

[Hypnos666]

Sure, if any of you are on AIM tonight and you wouldn't mind, I'd love to hear a few of the songs. I'd rather not spend my cash on something I'm unsure about (but if the single is good, then I'm definitely buying the deluxe version)

 

[Iced In Flames]

$8 is still way too much for a single.

 

[-Rivfader-]

$8 is still way too much for a single.

Ecspecially when you add 2 dollars and some odd cents onto the end of that for fucking tax.

 

[Psychonaut]

...for a single with ripoff cover art.

Tribute cover art. There's a difference...

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Yeah, I don't think you can rightly call something THAT obvious a ripoff.

 

[Hypnos666]

It's not a ripoff, but it is expensive.
