To be honest that was the same reason why I didn't want to listen to it either I note the record 'note for note' which isn't unusual even 'rock artists' get fed up of listening to there own records!. I read Ritchie Blackmore in a old interview stated that after recording the song(s) and mixing them it gets to where you just don't ever want to hear them again.Up until the last few years I havent been able to listen to "In Rock" . I played it so damn much i was sick of it. Theres a few albums like that for me. Oh well...
