I got the EP in the mail a few days ago, & it's good, but not great imo. The re-trilogy wasn't really more vicious & atmospheric than the original as Schaffer claims, & it'll take a few more spins to get used to Barlow's absence on those songs. Still this is only supposed to be a teaser for the main event, & I'm still confident that it's going to rule. Bring on Framing Armageddon!

I've heard two track on the radio. I think Prophecy and 10,000 strong. The new song sounded promising, while the redone track was ok, but might take some time to get use to.

I'm quite disappointed with their last EP.
Ten Thousands Strong seems to be a modified version of Declaration Day (just like they did between Slave to the Dark and The Prohecy, but this time in a less interesting way).
The new version of the trilogy has been enhanced with new instruments, but the narrower vocal range of Owens is embarassing on the Prophecy's chorus.
BUT... even so... I bought the EP for the terrific mix of the Coming Curse: simple, powerful, raw, rough. A perfect mix!

I heard the new stuff and think it sounds great, although very reminiscient of The Glorious Burden.
Does anyone here even like Tim Owens? I feel like I'm the only one who prefers Owens to Barlow.

I've heard the songs, while the music is great Owens lets the remakes down in a major way. I still say he should've stuck with Judas Priest as his voice fits Priest well. For the first time(well the second time Glorious Burden sucked)I'm gonna pass on a Iced Earth cd. It's gonna take alot for me to buy Armageddon.

Iced Earth is back, and soon, all will be well... I hope.
I like Owens. I don't prefer him to Barlow, but he can also put on a hell of a performance live.

Yeah I'm going to be honest about the trilogy redone. I dont like it... All I kept thinking about was how incredible the original one was with Matt Barlow.

I completely agree! Matt was and is incredible! On the albums and, more importantly, on stage! He is the best vocal that Iced Earth ever had, and will ever have...  |
