Hell yeah, I like those numbers. Hopefully we get similar numbers for riverside and TPT.

Count me in as another who is truly digging this record. I do however need to obtain the last two bonus tracks 'Sistere' and 'Wide Awake in Quietus' though, and I am even more curious in the Judas Priest cover available only on the Japanese version.

 

[keenly]

There's 2 main issues with this mix
1: Guitars lack treble/ punch
2: Bass; some parts sounding boomy, excessively heavy and thick, lacking detail, and slow, with little dynamic impact.

This is common in nearly all of Bruce's mixes.
