[quote]And on the opposite side of the fench, with Jaz singing in a cookie monster voice: "Flight by Day, Fuck by Night" makes me cringe and shake my head in disbelief. Actually, some of the lyrics on Hosannas seemed to be inspired by Jaz's love of Blue Oyster Cults'  "Fire of Unknown Origin" album![quote]
 
And I can understand the criticism of Jaz's singing on the album, and that opening line is one of the major reasons I don't like walking with the gods. I do hate that somewhere after Extremities Jaz thought that he should bellow only. He had a few better moments on KJ2003 which didn't translate onto this album.


[quote]KJ is past the glory years, never coming out w/ anything thats gonna rule like Extremeties or Nighttime again. (pains me to say that).[quote]
 
Sadly, I do agree with that. 
 

[quote]I can put OTG on the record player and laugh, point out some decent parts, rock out to obsession, contemplate how "outside the gate" is actually a cool sounding title, and laugh some more. I actually can listen to the full album.[quote]
 
Better man than me, I cannot sit through that album. 

[quote]Hossanas is a sheet of gray to me. Majority of songs I have no feelings toward. I cannot sit thru Invocation, Light Bringer, Title Track, Gratitude. I love Exorcism from Pandemonium, so its just not the length of the song.

I do not feel the KJ spirit on Hosannas.[quote] 
 
It must just be a different of tolerance, personally I cannot stand Exorcism, after the 5th minute of jaz clearing his throat with the guitar/drum/bass combo locked into a loop I have to skip forward.

At least OTG had fully fleshed-out SONGS (however dubiously executed) on it, and not just glorified jam sessions.

Serious about Geordie looking Miami Vice?
Serious about the Bass Player?
Serious about OTG being the last album where Jaz pronounced Armageddon?

or finally laying down the gauntlet of truth and saying what everyones thinking but too scarred to acknowledge????

OTG IS BETTER THAN HOSANNAS!

Im watching the vid for America. Laughing myself silly. Geordie looks like he's hanging out w/ Crockett and Tubbs. Bass Player is getting FUN- KAY!!! 
 
I guess this was the last gasp of Jaz predicting Nuclear doom. Maybe one of the Pandemonium vids had some nuclear jams in it, cant recall. 
 
Still, as bad as that album was its still better than Hosannas!
