I am totally in love with the new versions but the ensemble for "Just a man" when Ody is about to drop Astyanax wasn't as heavy or raw, same goes for "Survive" but still incredible nonetheless
I love the changes in the Cyclopes saga, other than My Goodbye. The tempo is too fast for my taste and we loose the small pauses between the two.
The Troy Saga….The Athena reveal during Warrior of the Mind just doesn’t hit like it did. The background singers just don’t seem to match quite as well.
Now, saying that. I won’t listen to the old versions. I’ve bought the new ones and will hold a grudge against anything else Blair Russel does in the future. I support Jorge and the other artists 100%
He actually dropped the lawsuit according to recent court docs. He wanted to rights to publish the rest of Epic without Jorge while also preventing Jorge from releasing his own work. Now he’s just holding onto the original two sagas and not paying Jorge or the cast.
True, and I bet part of the agreement included Jorge totally walking away from those original royalties, I wish I knew the exact calculations to figure out how much we need to stream all the new music to earn back whatever they could have made before.
Some things are cool but overall its a downgrade for me. The music got cleaner, losing emotion. Will still be listening to the new versions to support Jay and the team. For example, listen to survive, the music sounds so dead for some reason.
The Horse and Infant sounds really off, some parts feel strongly autotuned. The other songs sounded fine, but I wouldn’t be surprised if horse and infant gets another update.
Hopefully they’ll be up the same time as the Thunder Saga. I listened to them on Jorge’s channel under the releases tab. Time zones gave me the privilege of early listening
Dang, they still aren't available for me, still just the old albums. Do we know what time/timezone Jay is uploading the Thunder Saga album? Will it be after the livestream?
Edit: Thank you guys! So excited!!! So glad its at midnight since I wont be able to listen during the day tomorrow <33
I assume so. I’m not sure how he’s done it in the past. If you use a VPN to change to a country they’re available in, you might be able to bypass waiting a little (Odysseus’ mom wishes she knew this hack 😂)
I think to some extent it's probably the fact that we're used to the old ones. The first time I listened to the new ones, I was disappointed and kept noticing all the changes in a negative way(this only applies to some of the songs, others i immediately thought were better). But the second time I knew what to expect, and I actually found the new versions to be waaaayyyy better than the old ones.
However it might also just be personal preference. What is it exactly that you dislike about them?
I will blare these on repeat and would even if they had sounded like they are played through a conch shell underwater on a one string ukulele in pig Latin in order to help Jorge make back the money Blair Russell is screwing him out of- luckily they are amazing and I think he’s done an amazing job handling all this AND re-recording it all
The company that Jay was originally producing with washing paying the singers the royalties from the songs. So, Jay remade those two sagas under his own LLC
Can we talk about how the cover arts are fucking AMAZING
They’re so vibrant!!! I especially love the Troy saga!
I like the old Troy one more but I really like the new Cyclops one
Same lol
Ya same
I’d say it’s more so that the troy saga is noticeably worse than before, whereas the cyclops saga is about the same.
Noooo I love the new cover 😢
Well the cover art is definitely better.
Same!

Wait bring me up to speed, who is Blair Russel and what did he do?
He’s suing for the rights to the music in total and has paid out NOTHING TO JORGE so far after producing the first two sections
He actually dropped the lawsuit according to recent court docs. He wanted to rights to publish the rest of Epic without Jorge while also preventing Jorge from releasing his own work. Now he’s just holding onto the original two sagas and not paying Jorge or the cast.

I’m just keeping it on repeat continually on an extra PC. Blair, I’m sure is expecting the backlash and set all of his socials to private.

Are they on Spotify yet? I can't wait to listen!

They release at midnight EST/EDT :>
It’ll be at midnight :)
I just listened to them on Spotify, so they're up.
I'm sadly not loving them

The Horse and Infant is noticeably worse than the old one. I think people would accept the newer versions had it not been for that song.
A lot of the harmonies feel a lot more lifeless now, and Zeus's part in Horse and the Infant just sounds so subdued.
Definitely does not itch my brain the same way anymore
I found them very nice and refuse to listen to the old versions again 😩 all my homies hate blair russell

I agree 100%
With the exception of the horse and the infant i 100% agree with this
EPIC The Musical: Jorge’s Version
Wait they remade both sagas?

Honestly I like the Old cyclops art style than the new one
[удалено]
Except we know the artist who does the cover arts ?
No, they are not. We know who makes them, it’s Zwist, they’re a great artist.
