I chatted with David Rosenthal for a while after the show, and he said it took quite a bit of doing to learn Kit's style and parts to do the original material justice. It's so integrated into HtM's essence that if he tried to change it even slightly, it would wreck the sound. Even The Muse Awakens follows Kit's style to the point of being eerie. I'm not too sure if that's good or bad. Good in that HtM's sound is intact, but bad in that it has yet to evolve. Maybe in the next release.

It was neat to find Joe Bergamini taking over the drum duties. He's good IMO.
