[kj] In Defense of Hosannas

[Devacor at aol.com]

I am one who has issues with this one- 
I am very pleased with Majestic- I feel it has some mystical qualities to  it 
and it has turned into one of my all time KJ faves. 
 I find Tribal Antidote catchy but just kind of basic- Hosannas I  actually 
like it just runs a bit long. It has bugged me about them in the past,  but it 
really hurts on  this album (some of the songs running so  long) - 
I like the beginning of Invocation, but just gets to be too much when the  
vocals kick in. Gratitude is good, but no "hit" song. 
The rest - Judas Goat, Implosion, Light Bringer, Walking with the gods  (IMO) 
is just ugggh- it could all be my least favorite KJ. they all have their  
moments (like start out cool) but do absolutely nothing for me.
 I went back and gave Judas Goat a re listen since there was some talk  about 
it. I got halfway though and it was like nothing ever happened in the  song, 
I just had to cut it off. I don't think I have ever made it all the way  
through any of those songs. 
 If it wasn't for Majestic (and perhaps hosannas) for me this  album would 
really be a real bummer. I would have a hard time recommending this  to anyone 
starting on KJ. 
If somehow 2003 and Hosannas could be blended I would dig it. I have a  
hardcore background so I am one who doesn't mind the vocals and heavy guitar.

Actually, I love Hosannas but feel like I come from more a punk  
background, not a metal background -- hardcore punk, instead of just  
neon-glow colored UK Subs-y '77 melodic punk,  though.
