Anyone else get their copies today?

I'm loving it so far... it has the aggression of "The Mark" with the production of "In The Battle" -- great stuff so far!

Plus, it came with a cool "Crime Scene Earth" calendar!

Yep, mine was in the mailbox today, too. I hope to be spinning it while my son naps this afternoon and I'll post my reaction then.

Tell us if it wakes him, got mine yesterday but was busy all last night and haven' had a chance to spin it.

LOL...

Just finished the first time through the album. I dunno yet...

I'm on the second listen. It does seem to have some variety to the tunes, different vocals, etc.

Got mine today! I also ordered The Mark.

Wow...hope mine shows up tomorrow or I might cry! Actually, I think I know why mine may be delayed...

I've spun it about four times today. It definitely has some good tunes. It has some similarities to both The Mark and In the Battle.

I would say Crime Scene Earth has the best production of the three; the mix is superior to the last two. I noticed the drums sound much better this time around, IMO.

I do too.


The USPS sent yours to Chief Mugambo in Zimbabwe.


Another reflective disc from America for his collection.

just got mine today.. have yet to spin it...

I look forward to hearing this... I always have enjoyed Saint.

I did some sampling over their website, and I'll probably pass. The music is excellent, but I can't get the vocals. Josh doesn't seem to sing like he used to. So much of it is screaming or effects-based. I don't know how to describe what I mean. If you listen to him on Invader (the JP cover tune), he just sings and sounds very much like he did in the 80's, and it sounds great! I wish he'd do the rest of it like that. Until then, I'm probably done buying Saint records.

I got mine and have spun it twice. The music is excellent, but Josh's vocals are going to take a bit to get used to this time around. As FOJ said, he does a lot more screaming and stuff with quite a bit of effects. Of course, I was listening to this on a CD player in a rental van with a crappy sound system that I rented for the weekend. I am sure that my opinion will change when I really get the chance to blow this out in my truck stereo.

Got it!

First listen = Like it a lot. Usually albums take 3+ spins for me to get a feel but this is so straight forward I need just one. The opener especially rocks! I don't have a problem with the vocals. Looks like I'll be working backwards with these guys as this and The Mark are my first two Saint albums ever. Will listen to The Mark tomorrow.

Can't wait to get mine. I love Saint.

Has anyone heard of Templar? They're a local band from Western Australia, and Josh sings on a couple of tracks. My mate Daniel plays guitar for them.

They have an album called "Preaching To The Perverted" available soon. It's melodic metal with an industrial edge. Fans of Saint would like it.

I had heard of that project and planned to get it. Will it be available only in Australia?



Arttie

The TEMPLAR album is an excellent CD!!


Seriously......that puppy absolutely owned and ruled my CD player for the first week after it came from Australia.


Another TEMPLAR album, eh?? When it comes out.........


Whoosh......in the vault it goes.

I recieved mine and I love it so far. Only 1/2 way though, but I like the vocals as wel as everything else. Just a great disc that will be playing for a long time.

The CD overall is good, but the vocals are much gruffer (at least to my ears) and are buried in the mix.

That's what I thought. I dig Josh's voice and it sounds a little burried. Taking a few more spins, but so far I like.
