Just listened to the JJ & some Issa samples. Must not be in the right mood for this material right now--the JJ sounded too predictable most times:straight up Survivor-ish chugging guitar tunes and 2-3 obligatory ballads. He does sound great here,tho. Then..The Issa cd...is it my imagination,or is the production a bit muddy here? Ruined it for me sonically and I only got past 3-4 tracks. Liked the songs,otherwise. I'll try them a bit later & see if they fair a bit better...T
