Segue Myles Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Iced Earth- Iced Earth People hate the vocals. I think they fit, the album soundtracks a lot of my fantasy reading perfectly. I forgot how much I love this record, When The Night Falls is epic, I played this song three times in a row. Iced Earth- Night Of The Stormrider The second album has a new vocalist. Again, fans hate on this. I don't get why, the same fans likely listen to tonnes of thrash with vocals of equal or far lesser vocal performances. I just love this album. They did a rerecording of a lot of songs of these first two albums with their third singer, the beloved Mat Barlow. I hate that album, the songs lack the atmosphere of the originals. Iced Earth- Burnt Offerings Their first with Mat Barlow and an absolute masterpiece. Had great fun with these albums! I am glad as after Jon Schafer made it clear what a twunt he is, I thought it would cloud my enjoyment of his music. I can separate the art from the artist in this case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell all the fans love it. By the way, the live version of When The Night Falls with Barlow is ten times better than the original.

But for me the original studio version is the best and most atmospheric. Just not that studio redo album And a lot of fans I have seen on old forums and online act like anything without Barlow is BAD Edited April 5, 2023 by Segue Myles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the best overall singer the band had. He could do justice to both the Barlow and Ripper stuff equally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally wasn't the biggest fan of their last album, but it does get better every time I come back to it. Personally glad someone else thinks Stu is the best they had. Ripper would have been great I think had he lasted but who knows, he has a great voice but never seems to settle in a band long enough to find his own niche. Either that or he's all style no substance. Edited April 5, 2023 by Segue Myles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found many albums and artists that I never would have listened to, through this site! I love the sound of this album both sonically and her voice. The conversational pieces throughout the album make it feel like I'm part of the scene. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
