don't panic DonnyZ. I personally think people are overreacting. Its not
really "more produced"....in fact I think people are confusing the fact
that there is more reverb and a minor increase in guitar effects with the
term "more produced." Production is much more that the use of effects. I
did not notice any decrease in the quality of the tunes, or any decrease in
the way they are played. Jeremy is still Jeremy...although his voice has
an occasional filter on it, it still captures everything which makes his
voice great (of course, thats my opinion), and at times it makes it better.
I think its a little bit odd to claim that Jeremy's voice is so perfect
that it can't be improved with an occasional effect; I bet if no one had
said anything, more than half of the people who are avid fans wouldn't even
notice it. by the way you are much stronger man than most of us for
waiting until the official release...I don't have that kind of will power.
