I got this CD only because I was curious how JP sounded without Rob. I was surprised and impressed with the faster, heavier, angrier songs offered by the new JP. It may be because I am a big fan of the heavy stuff like Slayer, Kreator, Grip, Inc...Tim Owen did a very good job. He derserves to get more credits on the success of this CD. I know that some old JP fan don't like this Cd because the new approach. Hey guys, we are living in the 90's. We should listen to this CD without prejudice. Outstanding tracks are Blood Stained, Deathrow, Burn in Hell, Bullet Train. The rest are...good!
