Virgin Steele - Visions Of Eden; the guitars buried in the mix and the use of an electric drum kit nearly kills the album for me, a shame because the songwritting is quallity, hopefully the new album rectifies this.
Made me think of programmed drums on Devin Townsend's Ziltoid. Doesn't completely ruin it but fake drums are the worst.
I don't like fake drums either, but I think it's a mentality thing with Ziltoid. You probably knew in advance that the drums were fake so you automatically thought it would suck. I didn't know they were fake until a year after I'd been listening to Ziltoid, because they sounded surprisingly natural to me.
