Kewl!!!

I just preordered the new Cd, and the Its A Jungle remaster from NEH.
http://www.nehrecords.com/SHOP/Mastedon3.htm

I still want to hear the remaster of the first CD to see if it's worth buying again. The three live tracks added as bonus songs don't interest me at all.

Umm I think only two of those bonus tracks are live. The other tune is the lone Mastedon track from the "California Metal" compilation.

I still want to hear the overall quality of the remaster. If it isn't a significant increase, one song does not warrant rebuying the CD.

Still very content with the old Mastedon CDs.

I just pre-ordered them both. I have cd-rs of Jungle and LOFC...I sold the originals years ago so this is a great chance to get them back...

I have both the orginals on cassette and cdr. So I will definately be happy to get "It's a Jungle" on cd. Also very much looking forward to the new album.

new samples for ALL songs here:

After hearing the samples, I can't say that I am that excited about this. It just doesn't seem to have the teeth that the previous two CDs had. Sure, there are more guitars, but this still mostly sounds like a typical John Elefante solo project.

I might get this, but there are other things to drool over first.......like Flyleaf, Static Fuse, or the plethoria of Saint CDs about to drop in December.

After listening to the whole thing, you are right, it is more like Elefante's solo stuff with more guitars. At the same time though, it kind of falls between Mastedon and the solo stuff...I like the last 5 songs the best...You can't take anything is classic as is Water into wine...I actually took Bride's Tsar Bomba out for the first time since I got it to listen to this...

Has anyone else got this yet? Mine shipped from NEH Records. The more I listen the more I love.....

I also got an e-mail saying that mine has shipped, hopefully it will be here soon.

I'm kind of waiting for you guys to give your reviews here before I get this. The samples of this just don't excite me much at all. Also, before I get the remaster of "It's A Jungle Out There", I want to know that the sound quality--not just the volume--really increases.

It seems I'm having problems to find the samples to listen.

I think a rerealse is not always good.
When both great Mastedon CDs sound like the solo projects of John Elefante I think he has forgotten to add the Mastedon sound.
How great this CDs will sound with the real Mastedon sound.

I'm curious to read the reviews about both CDs.

Listening to the samples I'll have to agree with everyone else......... it does sound like a mix of Mastedon and John's solo stuff. It does sound good, but probably not good enough to make me order it right at this minute. I reckon he should have got other vocalists to join in, as that's what Mastedon is all about.

I'll be getting the reissue of IAJOT because I don't have the original. That one is a must for me. The new one I can probably wait on

I think it rocks siginificantly more than the two solo albums I had from John (but not quite as much as the first two Mastedon discs).
I will get it eventually.
