 We are getting another version September 27, 2008
Steven Wilson (Belmont, MI)
I picked this up back when framing armageddon came out. I didn't pick that album up until part 2 came out. Anyway I like this however I just found out that the boxed set that suppose to come out will include this with Matt Barlow on vocals along with framing armageddon with matt vocals and four tracks that were not included on the new album.

I actually like this single. I am sorry to hear that Tim Owens is no longer part of the band. I like the way he sings.
NEWS NEWS NEWS! December 21, 2007

Ok....... I've only heard Ten Thousand Strong and I liked it (even with Rippers vocals, who I STILL maintain was better with Judas Priest)
But that isn't the news:
MATT BARLOW IS BACK WITH ICED EARTH!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
 Iced Earth Vocals November 4, 2007
Kilroy126 (New York, USA)
I have to weigh in here because of all the reviews that comment on the vocals on the new Iced Earth cd. First off, I'm not taking anything from Matt Barlow, who has a decent voice and left the band to become a Police Officer (a very patriotic response he said to the 9/11 attacks). Barlow's vocals fit well with the band, but there was not a great deal of range there. That being said, those of you putting down Tim "Ripper" Owens vocals, all I have to say is....do you have ears? Do you understand anything about vocals? Ripper Owens is by far, one of the premier metal vocalists right now. He has tremendous strength AND range. He's also very fan friendly. Did you folks forget that this man stepped in and sang for JUDAS PRIEST? Arguably, the greatest metal band of all time. He suffered the same criticism then from Prriest fans... He's not Rob Halfford. Now its, he's not Matt Barlow. Well, obviously not, he's Ripper Owens. I think you people are reviewing the vocals you prefer the style of rather than which are BETTER. That's fine, what you like is a matter of personal preference. What's better really is not. Owens is simply the more accomplished singer and that is a fact. Whether you think he fits in IE, that's also a matter of opinion. I saw him with Priest and with Iced Earth. I thought he was great each ttime. I do agree with some reviewers about the fit with IE. I think Owens singing the Barlow stuff seems a little, almost bored. Schaeffer and Co whsould write another album with Owens songs. Iced Earth is a good band, made better by the addition of a talented singer.
Great Iced Earth EP August 31, 2007
Jeffrey Kollnot (Grand Rapids, MI USA)
This cd features the single "Ten Thousand Strong" and a remake of the classic Something Wicked Trilogy with Tim "Ripper" Owens. I love the old version of the Trilogy but this one is just as good in a different way. It features better production, some new instrumentation, and Baritone Guitars. The trilogy introduces the storyline for the next two Iced Earth albums.
The Track "Ten Thousand Strong" is new Solid Material from Iced Earth's new Album Framing Armaggedon Something Wicked Part 1. This cd is only a little bit over 20 minutes in length but I have enjoyed listening to it and would reccomend it to any Metal or IE fan.
