I Walk Among You

So, what’s happened over the past year? Matt Barlow has replaced Tim Owens, who was released in an odd way, via e-mail. If you like it or not, Barlow is back and he sounds better than ever. What does he bring to the table on this EP?

Well, the single, “I Walk Alone”, is a damn good track. The vocals are refreshing performed amazingly. If you bought this release, this is probably the main reason for getting it. Why? The unnecessary re-recordings of “Setian Massacre” and “The Clouding” aren’t anything spectacular. I mean some haven’t even gotten use to the original recordings considering they came out only a year ago!

Barlow’s performance on “Setian Massacre” isn’t anything mind blowing, actually, the original performance is better. “The Clouding” is a much better outing than the track before; I love the vocal work. I would talk about the performance from Schaffer and company for these two songs, but it’s exactly the same on the recordings from “Framing Armageddon.” So, I’m not going to.

Overall, the single “I Walk Alone” is great and this piece is worth getting because of it. The re-recordings aren’t horrible, but not really needed.
