Hey guys, funny Necktie Bob should show up just now -- but even funnier that I would. I'm sitting in a Kinko's writing this because I'm still in a Luddite phase, but just wanted to say I finally received a copy of the "Lies" cd via Ross, and it's great! I always thought "Track III" was good, but "Lies" is definitely an improvement in sound and technique. Cool to hear Franklin actually sing and use variation in the vocals; liked the nu-metalish changes in tempo -- guessing that's BIII's influence (and glad you didn't overdo it); really liked John's drumming on the Prayer of the Hitman (maybe you guys could translate the lyrics on the website?) and Senor's guitar attacks toward the end of George's Daydream and 1-2-3-4. Before listening, I wondered if there was much point in re-doing 1-2-3-4 and We Shall Not Be Moved from the earlier cd, but after hearing the new versions, must say your efforts were definitely worthwhile.I have some assorted cd's I'd like to send you guys but I lost my cell phone with everyone's phone numbers, nor do I have your addresses. If anyone wants to call me, it's 864-497-3579 (that goes for you too Necktie Bob), but if possible please call after 9pm when I have free minutes. Thanks!
