    Yes definitely agree with other commentors! I the CD and digital versions of the album fondly but this vinyl pressing sounds VERY different. It may grow on me with time, but on 'Fools' especially, Justin's occasional less-than-ideal singing is really brought to the front of the mix. For me, Jesu has never really been about vocals and I feel these new mixes haven't done the album any favours.

      Yeah this is bittersweet.... still love the album but it's sad that it's changed in ways that are difficult to accept, the vocals in particular

        So..... How about the new vocals. After all these years of waiting I'm pretty disappointed with this. The vocals were perfect first time around.
