Fuck yeah. I remember smoking pot as I watched the sunrise over a mountain peak, listening this whole album at 6 a.m, all cold and windy, the city at one side of the mountain and the sea on the other... easily one of the most perfect and memorable single moments of my life had this album as soundtrack.

Focus is better. Awesome album, though. I just wish it'd be a bit more aggressive.. it feels like the metal part is a bit tamed [4]

Of course the songwriting is the most important aspect, but what I argue is that Focus could have been better. 'Course, it's still all subjective; a lot of people are passionate about "lo-fi" music (though I would argue Focus stands upon some awkward middle ground), and who am I to say that type of sound can't possibly be enjoyed?

SchWarG: Oh, please. Don't give me the "back in the day" crap. Iron Maiden's early albums all had great production. I have no complaints at all there. Sure, I AM used to "modern" production, but it's not like I never listen to older stuff as well. Still, sound QUALITY is a part of "production", and that's the main issue for me here. Please don't argue that the sound quality is worse today because it's too CLEAN. I agree that a lot of today's stuff IS overproduced, but don't use that to justify the BAD production of something older.

I think this one slays Focus. It's incredibly polished; Focus is not. Focus is a masterpiece as well, though. Just a lesser one. The main thing I dislike about it is the production. It's not very good. (And don't say production doesn't matter.) This record is near-perfect, with my only real complaint being the growls; they could really use some work. They are far, FAR too raw for metal this soothing. And I do prefer Paul's ACTUAL voice, but a vocoder is a part of the Cynic sound.

I think my favorite part about this album is the drumming. So kick ass. Wait, everything about this album is kick ass.
