I think this is more consistent than all the other ones, but they have more highlights



The Arms of Sorrow is their best song imo

Fixation was one of the first songs of theirs I heard along with Life to Lifeless



back in the day when I wanted to get into a band I'd download 3 or 4 songs at first, some of the more popular ones as well as a random pick here and there
