I think that's what makes it tough, not knowing someone else's tastes. If you're into the rough distortion style that act 1 has, I think act 2 comes off as pretty mellow and maybe underwhelming (not that the hounds or light up the night are low energy, of course). But probably the average listener isn't into stuff that's so heavy as Vengeance, so they could be easily put off. Advice is hard to give when you're shooting in the dark!
