Personally i think this is the best album after "No Need To Argue".
I'd say this because the formula (lyrics, melody, instrumentation) is balanced to a more successful level.
Whereas their first album and "To The Faithful Departed" are very good...i feel that some of the songs sound lost and don't really reach a high point...and i hate to say this as i class the Crans as one of my favourite bands, but some of them drone on and are a bit depressing sometimes with Dolore's voice grating after a while too.
When i put this album on i felt kinda similar on first listen...but warming to it, i think the songs are a lot catchier and give the listener a more positive and fulfilling experience!
After all this I hope i've persuaded you to part with your cash as this album will be a really worthy purchase.
Thank you..."loud and clear i make my point dear"!
