Vocals are center-channel on both tracks, so they can be mostly-isolated. They are very clear on Monsters. On The General, they are about 60% clear, going into effect-mode in the "My only regret" and "Of those who" sections. I think that was intentional, and clear lyrics aren't meant to be heard. Could be wrong.

I got most things wrong with the rebuild, but am pleased with what I thought I heard of the vocal melody. Playing one on top of the other, the screaming section almost kinda sorta sounds almost sorta similar. Almost.

Glad these are out. Hopefully my anxiety level will return to normal.

supposedly the final mix has been leaked. I cant find it though

Where have you heard this? There was a youtube clip that sounded better than the links I downloaded from here, but not sure if it was just a better quality rather than a better mix. But it got taken down.

I couldn't find it. Not sure if that was true

This also explains why State of Grace was abandoned and never mentioned by the GNR camp.

It's similar to both but the inferior track.

Warming up to The General.

Soul Monster is a beast.

I would like the general more if the mix was better

Supposedly, Nando commented on Reddit that the vinyl was delayed due to the poor quality. This is probably from the vinyl. Hopefully the final version is better

from mygnr...

Before the thread got taken down on Reddit, Fernando commented this "It was held back due to the very bad quality of the vinyl we first received and we finally got it to the right spot."

If you look on his profile the comment is still there. I'm guessing what we are hearing is rips of these poor quality vinyls that have been rejected

So these leaks are clearly old, locker era songs.
Hoarders keep them really tight, the brings the question of what other things are in the vault.
