They should of kept Ripper Owens in that band, the 2 albums he did with Iced Earth were amazing. I haven't heard it yet, but I will check it out later today.
Well, I liked The Glorious Burden, despite the odds, but the first Something Wicked was only marginally better than the second one. Not that it's Ripper's fault, just like it wasn't Barlow's or now Block's (the new guy) - Schaffer seems out of ideas, sadly.
