WHY Do you not give the REASON TO YOUR STATEMENT. YOU SAY BUT DONT BACK IT UP. . I SAY ITS FLOWING BEAUTIFULLY.GOOD TIME SIGNATURE CHANGES. YOUR GETTING MIXED UP WITH OTHER BANDS WHO HAVE 8 DIFFERENT TIME SIGNATURES AND SPOIL MEDLEYS. THIS IS LOVELY WELL PRESENTED. ITS EATING YOU.

[@erniescullion8452]

Theres bands who spoil trying to be too complicated with too many time signatures in half of the time also over harmonizing. With This is Shotts are impressive. Good balance ok drum sound could be certainly better In my opinion.. You didnt make opinion. You made statement diddnt back up. Well because spitting out words to see where they splatter. Shotts kick tail
