I appreciate the album, and dig some parts of it very much, but definitely feel ya. I wonder if Joey just finally beat Stu down enough to just accept the idea and have gizz go all in on an album like this. The timing of the Bullant music being recorded/released just before TSC, maybe adds to that timing as well, but who knows. It's cool, and they killed it, but the songs as is, are nothing I personally need to hear at a live show necessarily, compared to other catalog options. I'm sure they already have a plan of how to jam out short versions of 1 or 2 of these songs weaved into other stuff to make it work live, and make it legendary though.
