"Crime Scene Earth"

I don't think it's as good as The Mark, but some of the tracks are superb. Half Times... is probably my favourite track, and although it's a shame that Josh doesn't sing on more of the songs, Rich does do a great job! I'd put it in the same league as In The Battle.

While it has grown on me, I would not put this in the same ball park with "In The Battle". The mix is a lot muddier, and I still don't like Rich's vocals as much as I do Josh's. The songs are good, but with the other factors, I would rank this one right above "The Perfect Life".

Maybe it's a better idea to let Josh Kramer do the vocals on the next album of Saint.
Then Richard Lynch is responsible for bass and vocals.
I think on "Half A Time Measure" i'ts richard responsible for the vocals.
Maybe we have to contact the band to tell we like Josh doing the vocals more.

Is it usual for a band to have two vocalists?

I needed time to get used to this CD too.

I like the new cd, but it is my least favorite of Saint's albums. I agree that it would be better with Josh singing all the songs, but a bad Saint album is still better than most bands great albums.

Well since I like "In the Battle" more than "The Mark" I think we are pretty much saying the same thing.

Really? My least favorite is still "The Perfect Life" I think "Crime Scene Earth" is vastly superior to "The Perfect Life".

I don't mean this as bad as it sounds, but I'm still baffled by everyone's love for Saint (or why I don't seem to "get it" with them).

Just chalk it up to the "different strokes for different folks" principle, Topshot.

This is the only band I can think of in a genre I like that EVERYONE else seems to adore and I'm like "What's the fuss over?"

Sort of like KISS or AC/DC in the secular world. I was never a fan of either. Sure I'd sing along with some of their popular songs, but I never owned an album!

I can certainly understand why someone wouldn't be into the band. They are not technically superior musicians (at least on the recordings). Their recordings are not super high quality. Their sound is very derivative (not really original). My sister-in-law, and one of my good friends both thought they were awful when I loaned them cds.

But there is something about this band that just appeals to me, can't seem to put my finger on it but I am a huge Saint fan.
