Wait, did we discuss the Lon Van Eaton pull quote from the CD? "I hope you realize someday that my experience with The Beatles had some similarity to what I did in our relationship. I learned afterwards that they thought I had talent so they laid it on me. Lesser talents are more often ignored"
I... I'm not sure that was meant as a compliment.
He could probably have said something nicer than 'you are a lesser talent than me'
I mean, at least he's not lying to you.

Didn't they have headphones? Nothing brings out the rubbery dead tone quite like the built-in piezo pickup of an acoustic guitar. There's a legitimate excuse for using one in a live venue, but in a studio - no.
Also, eight fucking minutes? The intro alone is interminable.
IMO YMMV

And the hits keep comin'!
Within this group, it's hard to imagine that any one individual's performance could stand out as being truly awful. But rfreeman wow's us yet again. It's like his "singing" & guitar "playing" are on a race to the bottom & it's just too damned close to call. And he's like this on every fucking song!
God save us from The Beagles.

“Freeman says Van Eaton helped select the CD’s songs, produced and engineered 17 of the CD’s 19 tracks, and “made constructive suggestions about instrumentation, song structure, and where I could improve lyrics.”
The fuck he did! He must be deaf!

That's longer than their songs and even more boring.

19 tracks. It's a fucking double album. Lon Von Chaney did them no favors.

Should I pull the trigger on this one, or wait for the Super Deluxe Edition? Maybe hold out for the Steven Wilson remix and 5.1 Blu-Ray? Or hope against hope that STeVE does his remasterbating magic on it? Forum members please advise!
