Exactly. It's layered like a sheet, a blanket, and a comforter during winter.

I dug Hosannas out for the first time in a while a couple of weeks ago.
Still don’t rate it very highly – a handful of half decent songs shine through 
the muddy production, 

And they would have been more than half decent if they’d been half the length 
they were. 

 
I never could stand the glossy BTATS production, although the remaster is a big 
improvement !!
Some decent songs on it, mind 
 
I’ve always loved Democracy especially the layers and layers and layers of 
Geordies guitars

Hosannas may not have lived up to expectation, but it is still very 
listenworthy.. 
just tweak the EQ a bit and away ya go..
there is classic KJ in that thar album, its just let down in a few places 
(insert yr own pet peeve here), but on the whole, should not be written off, and 
not be put away and not played!

Im with Alex on this one, Hosannas is a terrible album, with only one good song 
on it and dire production. And Ive got to say, I dont think Absolute Dissent is 
a whole lot better.
 
BTATS is one of my all time favorite albums.

HOSANNAS is a brilliant album!
Geordie on top form and the last one to feature the great Raven.
 
Only one album worse than OTG and that is Democracy , so very dull in compariosn 
to the rest
