Barlow out, Owens in, realize that IE:GB couldn't be better

This is simply the best album IE has ever done. I do agree that Tim Owens is a Halford clone but he fits in all the songs better than what Barlow could have done on this CD. I just can't imagine Barlow singing Declaration Day or The Reckoning. Owens high pitched voice kills Barlows high pitched voice and by far. Barlow has just a little more feeling though in the slower songs(ex:Melancholy, Died for You), but Barlow would probably have destroyed the Gettysburg Trilogy completely. Those of you who keep telling "Owens is a Halford clone" should consider that HE was able to replace Halford and not Barlow. Don't get me wrong though, Something Wicked and Dark Saga are in my best IE albums too. To end this review, I just want to say that Schaffer heard the album by Barlow and realized that Barlow was not fit for the music and got Owens. And in the end, its their album, their lives, and their future, so if people want to cry for Barlow and not realize that Barlow DOESN'T want to play in IE anymore, continue crying and live in your lost past life and do not go forward.
