I like AJFA because it shows M.'s musical talent MUCH more than the
black album- but i think the songs on the new one are put together
better and mixed much better - there are some sounds on AJFA that i'm
not sure are supposed to be there, and some of Kirk's riffs are so much
louder than the band that it's like ok, they're in the studio, and this
was added...  also, i must say the drums (especially the floor tom)
sound shitty (like a drum machine?) on AJFA whereas I can crank up the new
album and hear nice sounding REAL drums - enough criticism of the band-
who the fuck am i to criticize?  BTW i like "Blackened" as THE song on AJFA.
