My fear is that this upcoming LP will be like "Democracy," or "Brighter 
Than a Thousand Suns," following their pattern of ending a decade of 
heavier stuff by releasing a lite LP.


:((


And yet the live versions of "Time Wave" and "Fresh Fever From the 
Skies" (which I assume will be on this new LP??) have sounded fairly 
heavy. "Time Wave" - live - sounds like a Motorhead worship song, to me, 
a la "Implosion" off Hosannas from the Basements from Hell. That's cool 
with me. I really hope Jaz plays with his vocal dynamics, switching 
between the posh Brit post-punk style he is good at and then using his 
dinosaur roar to good effect. If it is all posh "Love Like Blood"-type 
vocals with no "This Tribal Antidote" roaring, I'll be pissed.
