Haven't heard it yet either, well not in entirety, but happy to say from
what I heard it sounds pretty good. Now about that "Harvester of Eyes"
cover of Metallica, when how and where did they do this? Did they put
this on another album? I would be interested to hear Metallica cover
that song, I think they would do a great job of it :-).
