Quote from: sterilization on March 18, 2025, 08:02:15 PMHaven't listened to the OWC lp yet but I personally found the Osaka lp to be painfully boring and mediocre sounding.
I felt exactly opposite! Not sure am I just on very good mood for this, but after blasting new album few times, few times GW Punishment CD reissue and then put this live LP on turntable and thinking that live version of new album track that opens the live sounds way more aggro (perhaps due vocals) than studio version and instantly set good mood to it. Vocals in general worked well in this.
New album, listened several times and perhaps being shorter than Death Zones, it hit harder right away. Perhaps vocal sound is not as good as in best albums. I suspect also new gear that appears to bring new types of synths besides the classic GO tones.
