I like this one a bit more but both are fantastic.

It's interesting how different the reception for this band is here vs RYM - I've only heard In Effigy before but giving this a jam now and enjoying

I actually have this on CD somewhere still. Haven’t listened to it in MANY years. May need to change that as I don’t remember a single song from it.

It is a pretty decent album.

2nd album I ever bought

they were indeed industry darlings circa 2004

Album Rating: 4.5

Industry darlings? Lmao. They were simply popular and successful. #20 on the billboard 200 as a thrash based metalcore act. Respect the band.

oh, meant no disrespect : ) love jamming these guys

my comment was parroting something someone said in the Art of Balance thread lol

Album Rating: 4.5

Is that supposed to be a proper explanation

yah

Album Rating: 3.5

I don’t think it’s that controversial to consider them industry darlings given how much coverage Bachand and Donais especially got in the metal / guitar press at the time.

Bittner was also huge in the drum scene during their peak popularity. Love this record / better than AOB !!!

Bittner was a fantastic drummer. I remember watching clinic performances of him early in the days of YouTube.
