Looks like there might be a documentary on this too, from reading the comments on Amazon.

I read some reviews and ordered the Once in a Deathtime CD+DVD instead.

If the Live in Phoenix package is awesome, I'll get that too.

I'm going to get all their CD's and they will become my favourite band ever. That's like my 2023 New Year's resolution. I've missed out on so much all these years.

Flotsam is one of the best!
I’m rarely disappointed. Only a few albums have crap production.

Dreams of Death, very much so. But it also has a couple of really good tunes on it.

IMO, Dreams Of Death is their weakest album.

Yeah that one has bad production, but I actually dislike “Unnatural Selection” worse. Those super loud bass drums are annoying. And the guitar tone is a bit weak. They got two songs on the same album titled with “Noose”. Not exactly their most creative effort.

I like the concept of Dreams of Death. Every song was supposed to be a different nightmare. I’d need to revisit it, but there are a few good songs.

Those two are the weak points. And what's with the giant ant on the cover?! I'm not complaining though, my 5-year-old twins think it's the coolest CD cover ever.
But I like that those two are both very different albums. Unnatural Selection is a unique sounding release. I like that it's in their discography. And Ugly Noise and Cuatro and all those other journeys they've taken (Drift). And it's all still done well enough to sound like Flotsam and Jetsam.

I picked up High a few weeks ago and now my F&J studio albums collection is completed.
High was ok on the first couple of spins. Nothing that special really.
Some songs started getting better after repeated spins.

I like High. Yeah, it's not the most memorable songwriting, but it's pretty heavy and Eric sounds as good as always.

The former bassist Jason Ward was a graphic designer. They opted to save money by having him create the album cover artwork.

The vocals are somewhat buried on High.
Other than that, I like it! Final Step and Your Hands are highlights.

Unnatural Selection could be a much better album if they remixed it. I like the song “promise Keepers”.

Damn, they just keep on truckin' don't they?
My F&J collection has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. I think the last album of theirs I bought was Ugly Noise, which had to be about ten years ago now.
