I'll agree with you that Meat's vocals aren't what they used to be, but the SOUL of this album is not only not buried, it's ripe and right out in front of you.
This album is one of the only I can recall where it's not really about the songs being performed, it's about everything ELSE going on. And it's true beauty.
I mean, everything is done for a reason, and Ellen and Karla being on GATW is such a great picture. Imagine the character from Paradise and Anything For Love dies and before going to Hell, he gets to see those girls one last time. That's what GATW is, and it's gorgeous.
Many more of the songs on the album are like that, if you look deeper.
Meat screaming "I WANT MORE!" as he slowly fades into the background in More is also a beautiful visual of a man who knows his time on Earth is all too limited, and is practically begging for more.
There's a LOT of wonderful here, if you want to see it.
