I had a few instant favorites (Home Invasion / Regret #9, Ancestral), but after a few weeks of listening I have to say there's not one single weak song on the damn thing. Warmed up a lot to Three Years Older and Hand Cannot Erase, and I just recently fell completely for Happy Returns.
Better than The Raven? I didn't think so at first.. but this album just seems to have so much more emotion throughout. Also, I'm not a fan of 'The Pin Drop' at all, and I kind of dislike the ending to 'The Watchmaker'. This album has it all.. SW branching out vocally, catchy songs, orgasmic solos and fortunately and finally some headbang worthy moments as well.
