I agree with you both. Very hard to listen to and it's just not very good. No song even approaching 8/10 except maybe Tell Me Why, and even that's a stretch.
Info from Scott Waters: It's not old recordings that are just pressed to vinyl. These are all new recordings by the current line-up of the band. It's a new record of songs that were written back in the 80's and never properly recorded till now.
It's weird because when I listen to some of those 80's bands that I thought were great back then, I listen now and wonder why I thought they were so great. LOL
Anybody else experience this?
I listened to these today:
Savatage "Hall Of The Mountain King"
Monster "Through The Eyes Of The World"
Loudness "Thunder In The East"
Spread Eagle "S/T"
Babylon A.D. "S/T"
New American Shame "S/T"
