After my first listen I’m thinking this, for me, will be like God of War II and Gears of War 2: While I still prefer the original(s) because of the ground they broke and their more ‘raw’, less ‘shiny’ by comparison feel (plus I played them first and a LOT), I know, in time, I'll appreciate it more and more- likely even eventually agreeing with anyone who considers the more fleshed out sequels to be better, yet each original will always remain my favorite. This… IS going to be a franchise… right?
