Kind of mystified at the low aggregated ratings for this. It might be my favorite of theirs, even above Fallen. The simple but heavy riffs and gargantuan production underneath the melancholic melodies are a perfect sweet spot there.
100% agree. REALLY like this album and I remember listening to it a ton when it came out. So many good, catchy songs (The Change, My Heart is Broken, Erase This...). I think it's instrumentally (as relatively "simple" as it is) more interesting than Fallen, although that one might still have the edge due to the enormous amount of hits
Good stuff. I might revisit it tonight
TSHF was always my fav of the later stuff but these days, I dunno.....Endgame may be better. UA is pretty underrated too, I'll give you that.
TSHF is almost surely my favorite post, um, Countdown, I think. Or Youthanasia...maybe on the same level as that one. It's a bit of a Dave & friends kinda album, but there's a lot of great tunes on it. UA starts great then peters out. Endgame I like but don't love. I have to say the last two records are quite tasty, though.
