wow, fans being pissed off at their favorite band for releasing a record. i would also like to own it or at least hear it…but c'mon!
Snah was playing a Ibanez Tubescreamer on this tour, which is pretty much THE overdrive pedal. I play a EHX East River Drive, which is a good yet affordable alternative.
Too bad to read that the "official" recording didn't work. Maybe that evening was simply too magical to be captured.
Having seen several shows of this tour, i have to agree that Leipzig was definitely something else. They not only seemed to have a good time, they also completely lost themselves in the music. especially bent. Conne Island and MP is a perfect match. Very loud yet clear sounding PA, perfectly-sized venue and the temperatures yesterday probably added what was needed to go this far out! boy, was that great!
To me "on a plate" is a nice straight rocker in the barracuda tradition. Not overly complex, but that's not always necessary for a song to work
Ah ok. Also, the guitar strumming in Entropy at 4:55 reminds me a lot of the 29th bulletin (similar structure… Calm part before the outburst). But that's cool, it works.
that was my worry as well
starting a new forum probably would be doomed to fail 
– good but not groundbreaking
– what I first noticed: in the bio section reine ist not listed as a permanent member
my 2 cents:
Great versatile record, which IMO could easily do without ghost and hell pt. 7. Ghost has the potential for a great song and you can almost hear the build-ups and intense harmonics – but unfortunately they simply don't happen. hell pt. 7 is not focused and there doesn't seem to be a proper idea behind the song. Especially with Kvaestor occupying the "noisy jamrocker"-slot in a superb way, it is quite a dissapointment.
The production is fantastic. Probably the best of the kenneth-releases. When "eggplant" started automatically on my laptop after BTS, it was apparent how lame it sounds in comparison
.As already mentioned by some of you, I also like that they rediscovered "emotional" (there, i said it) songwriting, e.g. hell4-6 and entropy. I welcome that they apparently jumped off the bluestrain to some extent.
Finally, I second that The Promise has some of Bent's best singing in qite a while.
if it doesn't work to make The Promise play, there is another approach:

click on number 10 ant then simply pull the marker of the player to 1:12:47
