"just a few days before i saw this come out [then exclusively for itunes] i had been saying i wish they'd rerecord it or something...because the original version was the first hardcore cd i'd ever heard and i like the new sound and had wondered what they'd do with their old stuff now that they've really gotten big [ozzfest, major hardcore label, etc, etc, etc] and i love what they did. the songs sound bigger...meaner...and more professional. my only complaints are that his voice doesn't really stand up to what it was on the original recording...it sounds like he's trying a lot harder to achieve the same level of intensity...and the music, while better quality, loses a little bit of it's original 'brutality', almost to the point of sounding overrehearsed. the remakes of Bridges Left Burning, The Requiem For Broken Hearts and Blood Stained Bed Sheet Burden [especially this one...what most people are not aware of is that this is the third recording of this song...it was originally on their first three song ep along with two other songs 'The Last Face She'll Ever See' and 'The Heart String Fallacy'...two amazing IDT songs...download them...and use Aresgalaxy.org to do it...and then the second recording of the song was the first version of Forever Scorned...this new one is the best one though...they completely obliterate the song and do away with the whiny singing part in the middle...which i always thought sounded really bad] are well worth getting the cd alone...the other songs are good too, but those three are the bangers. Roll Deep."
