I think "For My Fallen Angel" was written for Aaron's dog that passed away at the time. Very heavy song.

Dying dogs are important lyrical subject matter. Country built its entire foundation on it.

I don't agree at all with this review, this album is a demonic masterpiece. One of the best albums ever written.

It's excellent, but the band has done better. This has a more streamlined approach with some very good standouts and would work well as a starting point for people getting into MDB or the genre.

A Kiss to Remember is easily top-tier MDB for me but I can't remember anything else off of this

That's definitely the best track on this. Closer is quite memorable, being so emotional...

While not top tier MDB, I always felt this record got more slack than it deserved. A lot of cool riffs on this record.

Agreed. It's my fourth favorite MDB.

Yep has some good moments but the bar was set very high considering their previous two albums.

Yeah, it's a solid record but it just didn't feel as inspired as previous records.

It isn't, but there's plenty to enjoy here.

Absolutely, the stripped down approach works, just not as well as other records.

This was the album that got me into the band. A Kiss To Remember is still one of my favorite MDB songs.

This album is like Diet MDB. Interesting and with great moments, but the problem is that the expansive nature of the previous two records is what made them so amazing...

Great starting point, though.

I guess so. I started with A Map Of All Our Failures and that got me hooked right away. Hard to say whether this would have had the same effect.

That one's certainly the better album, but this is good for people not accustomed to doom metal. My first was TLTS.

This is Aaron Stainthorpe's favourite MDB album. I wonder why. It's lyrically probably the weakest I've heard.

Yeah, this and The Dreadful Hours are his favs. Lyrically, 34.788% is (intentionally) the worst; there are some neat lines here.

I haven't jammed 34.788% yet but I've heard a lot of bad things lol. Are you a fan of it?
