[kj] new cd

Great! The only gripe I have is the (admittedly listened to on the overrated "Bose" cd player) muddy production. To me, it sounds
worse than Hossanas (which I think sounded ok for a dense heavy album).
Only other complaint--they should have replaced the inexplicably bad "This World Hell" w/the nice RU Recieving remake "Kalyuga"--they must
have included the song for the lyrics.
Song that has started growing on me--"The Great Cull"--shockingly sad but mostly true lyrics as well.
