The Petra Zone

Nothing. You asked.

It reminds me of what's going on with Stryper right now though. Their new CD is done, but they are holding off on releasing it until after the new year, because apparently there is a certain time you need to get something released by in order to get the best sales through the holiday season and the...

Many would point out that Jesus wants the world to do away with the old ways. His message is overwhelmingly of peace. People pick and choose what they want to believe, but it's my conviction that Jesus meant what he said in the Sermon on the Mount. I might be wrong, but it's what I've chosen--the W...

Better on their shores than on ours! Amen! Just like Jesus taught us! Don't kill unborn babies, but let's go to war and rejoice as the bombs fall on someone else (their shores, not ours!) And the American claim to moral / spiritual superiority is exposed as the sham that it is. Show me Scripture wh...

Just to be clear... I'm not anti-business, anti-corporate, or anything near that. I'm a free market advocate. I agree that adults can usually discern when their being played, but man are our youth being agressively marketed towards at an unprecedented level.

I often wonder why people get turned off when someone becomes successful and yes off all of us. So does this mean if Petra were to make a huge comeback and sold a billion records we would be offended that they're now incredibly rich of the same people who made Apple rich? I hear of people everyday ...

:shudder:

If it makes you feel better, imagine that the lyric is written:

He reigns from his throne on high
He reigns over ewe and eye.

Not only is this grammatically correct, but the imagery is deep and rich!

Buggy, like what? I wasn't aware that it was up around 60%. Still, money in money out when it comes to an investment and they need volume! Buggy like constantly asking me to unlock a song purchased years ago. Buggy as in really bad burning software. Annoying as in what is the need for aac files? Th...

Ok, I have to say that after listening to full version of Back to the Rock, I would have preferred, if they were going to use this song, that they not change they lyric like they did. After knowing this song previously, it just doesn't sound right. They still could have called the album Back to the...

If you don't like the title track, just skip it and enjoy the OTHER 11 SONGS. Don't react as if something has been taken from you just because you're only getting 1 new track instead of two.

Also, entitling the album "Too Big To Fail" would be an exercise in hubris, in my opinion.

I think there is still some misconception as to just what mastering is. Mastering is listening to the songs, sequencing them so that they flow musically, balancing lyrical content, dynamics, EQ, etc. In some cases it is crisis management. In some cases it means correction and restoration. But for t...

FLAC has been around for years, and it rocks. There are many free FLAC decoders available.

Man, I like the tunes. This is going to be good. It would be better with a little less compression though. Those samples were pretty smashed. I noticed the same thing, but this is a premastered version and good mix engineers dont send ME stuff thats already compressed like this. I think they booste...

Seems like so many people want to fight rather than walk away.

Sadly, politics is more about stifling debate with scare mongering than having an intelligent discussion. Loaded terms such as left/right wing, big gov't, Christian-right, socialism, fascism, communism, un-American, evangelical, etc. should be stricken from the lexicon so that people can have a reas...
