        Adrian, sometimes you completely BAFFLE me.  I'm not trying to
        be an asshole, but did you really think this statement through
        before you decided to post it?

        So as not to be a heathen, I must say that I've really enjoyed
        some of the BOC remmakes I've heard in the last year.

        Oh yeah, I guess I should say why, huh?  It makes a difference,
        doesn't it?

        I am still blown away with Deb's vocals on "Career of Evil."  I
        am fortunate enough to have a tape deck and a CD-player in my
        car so I can play the original back-to-back with the new BS
        copy.  I don't mean to offend, but it's clear that Bloom is
        simply not meant to sing some songs.  He's quite monotone and has
        very little range - perfect for "Veteran'" or "After Dark" (that
        is him, right?).  But for something like "CoE" - nope.  Deb
        sings it the way it should be sung!  It's like a resurrection.

        You see, I never liked "CoE" very much...until I heard the
        remake.  The other track that's improved incredibly with time is
        "Flaming Telepaths."  I never thought much of it until I heard
        the _Cult Classic_ version.  WOW, what a difference.  Much
        better production and a great solo from BD.  I never realized
        how truly majestic the song is.  Bloom does a much better vocal
        job on it in the 90's - he sounds more sinister.  It's amazing
        how much more powerful the lyrics sound when sung correctly.
