It's the equivalent of skimming a text before reading?

So. Just finished listening. Holy F**K. There's a huge amount to take in here, definitely needs a few listens but first listen has left my jaw on the floor. Seemingly not a bad track on the whole album, and my concerns about the muddy production were unwarranted, it sounds EPIC

 

[Meliegree]

Well, I cant wait for 4th to talk about EoC. Bruce is ... Well, he's Bruce.
