1) Blood From A Stone 2) Birth Of The Economic Hit Man 3) Suitcase Blood From A Stone vs Brother Song is a coin toss. I really like both, but Anthony belting out "I wanna bring you baccccckkkkkk" at the end puts it over the edge for me.
i don't really have a dog in this race - there's no runaway song for me on this album. A bunch of pretty decent songs, but this is my 2nd least favorite album of theirs.
dammit you're right, I remember checking that out now and it seemed like a light makeover at best. It almost needs an audiophile release where they're not even trying to faithful to the spirit of the original. Here's some real short clips to give an idea: https://file.io/MpTY8fp7g28O (anyone interested should most def head to their Patreon, you get full stem access for Juturna/OLG/BSN) I'm a monkey with Audacity and no training just mixing down raw stems, so I have to think someone who knows their shit could nail it with some tasteful drum compression, EQ, and attention to detail. Even this demoish vibe is way better to me though, esp vocally.
The whole "women will drive you mad" thing. I know its small but it's always bothered me. Not calling for Anthony to be cancelled or anything like that, but I think its open to critique.
Blood From A Stone Birth Of The Economic Hitman The Lottery Man I honestly kind of forgot that I actually kind of love this album. I was thinking I didn't know it that well but I listened to it last night and realized I was very wrong. I kind of struggled to vote against Phantasmagoria cus I really do think that's an awesome song.
