I came to 'Lifer' having never heard them before so I didn't have any previous affections to influence my opinion. I saw that they'd been discussed here so I checked it out and like it.
I wasnt letting their old music influence my opinion on their new music - I simply made the statement that I personally liked their older tunes better. The newer tunes have better production and you can actually understand the singing, most of the time, but I felt like the chaos of their older music has been lost, and that is sad. I have only heard the tunes from Lifer live, and need to listen to the album one of these days.
Nor was I implying that you should like something more than something else; I put a link to their old stuff just for comparison.
