Couldn’t agree with you more. I’ve been listening to Iced Earth for a very long time now and I never had any issues with Barlow, BUT I do feel Owens was a fantastic fit in the band. Barlow is a great singer, but I do feel Owens is much better. You mentioning his version of The Clouding is exactly how I felt. It honestly almost seemed like a joke, or some paraody version of the original when I heard Barlow singing it. He can’t convey nearly as much emotion as Owens and his singing is just “boring”. I understand people having personal preferance between one or the other, but can’t stand the people who say “Tim Owens RUINED Iced Earth, they’re finally back now”. Complete fanboy nonsense.

I agree as well, Barlow pretty much held me back from being an iced earth fan, with owens i was able to enjoy them.

This review pretty much sums up the way I feel. I honestly did not think that I would like Owens better than Barlow but the Gettysburg trilogy made me re-think this. When Framing Armageddon hit the shelves(& these ears)I knew that Owens was “the” voice for Iced Earth. I really am disappointed we didn’t get more material from Owens in the I.E. camp. Why Jon, why!?!?!
