I love you Zander (quite seriously you're like a hunky young Bill Murray with a killer coif) but despite how awesome Trent's creative output has been I've always imagined him to be somewhat prickish. Buuuuuuut then again so is Tate so the personality stalemate merely prolongs my ambivalence to commit to a vote. I leave myself to you guyz collective lobbying not for the fluffing of my ego but rather to sway me once I get a chance to fully spin both once more at least.

Promised Land can be a difficult listen at first, especially if you were used to their sound already, or if you had expectations of what they would sound like.  It was a bit of a WTF for me at first (I only knew Empire and Mindcrime by them at that point), but I stuck with it, and with each listen, a different song would jump out at me as being rad as hell for whatever reason, and before I knew it, I was completely addicted to it.  To this day, it is still a top 25 all-time record in my book. :coolio
