hey jack- you have a good set of ears: I agree with you about the drum mix on that version. In fact, imo you listened to the "tamer" of the mixes we did. I made a few mixes and what I did in response to your valid criticism is have our webby upload a much more drum- presence rockin version to the CUT download page. I think if you were to compare the new download you will
hear a positive difference in terms of drum dynamics

I can appreciate your not liking the vocal harmonies; I simply enjoy a lush vox layering like Queen- Freddy Mercury or Alice In Chains at times for dramatic- larger than life effect. The melodic harmonies, for me, worked as a great contrast against the more 'demonic' spoken word and screamed parts and discordant heavy guitars. The vocals took a while to record- there are 4 to 5 harmonies that are each tripled so thats 12-15 tracks of vocal going on at once
at all times in the sing-songy parts etc.. If you don't like that style of vocals in general it's easy to see how you don't enjoy it the way I do of course LOL

Its cool with me bro just check out the newer download if ya get a chance at least you'll have a better mix for yer collection ;-)
