Zod in point 7, Collector seems to be pointing to Dark Saga as being about Betrayal and pain not Glorious Burden. He just worded it oddly.
I'm listening to the Burden right now. I still don't like Ripper's vocals. I still don't think this is a great album. After first listen I was going to give this a 3 or 4. It's up to a 5 or 6 now. We'll have to see how it ends up. I've got stuff I'd rather listen to right now- I just got a Vio-Lence album and it kicks- Oppressing the Masses/Torture Tactics. Speed Metal Symphony from Cacophony and Years of Decay have also been taking a lot of my time. |

That's a piss poor attitude. I have things I like and dislike about this country. Just cause I have some problems with it doesn't mean I should have to move.
But I don't have a problem with the lyrical themes to this album, just the way they were actually written. And I don't have a problem with the direction this album has taken the band, just, once again, how it was performed. And I do have a problem with Ripper. I think he sucks. If Barlow had been on here [and I'm not even a big Barlow fan] this would have been a lot more listenable. |

Comic book theme or not, The Dark Saga's great lyrics bring the Spawn story to life in a way that is very personal to anyone who has suffered betrayal (ie like all of us).
In addition, musically, it is an incredible record. Miles beyond The Glorious Burden. The songs are simply way better. |
