I didn't think I would ever find a Two Down shout out on this forum... That's awesome!
Especially how some of the community discredits him, but ya'll have your reasons! I loved his Zombies albums, there are a few stormers but they aren't all great songs. For Zombies III I was expecting a more theatrical experience of the the first album. In some ways they succeeded but the album felt pretty jumpy from time to time, and the Mïnä's didn't really compliment the songs thereafter eachother.  Hope was pretty much restored for me ever since he brought out his take on Extinction, and I think with the second Zombies album just around the corner, this album right here is totally worth your time.

Regarding PTG, they've always been small. Sure they will always have their spells of views here or there, but there aren't many community members as there used to be... (I think there are like 5 now or something) 
I hope that someday people will grow to respect what Ben does in the long run, because there is  always good there to be sought...  It is easier for people to pick apart a persons flaws than it is to love. Haha! I sound like a darn hipster!  8)
