I absolutely love Stryper, have done since the 80's and regularly still have their cd's on. I heard these samples last night and I agree that Michael Sweet can still sing as good, if not better, than on the originals.

But, two things struck me when I listened to the samples - (admittedly, only twice each). Firstly, for me, I thought that Robert Sweet overplayed in parts of them and made the music busier than it needed to be. Secondly, the lead vocals seem very high in the mix.

I'll still be getting it when it comes out though! If only they would re-record the whole of In God We Trust with this raw and heavy sound!
