Okay, now it's time for SX's second-latest album, theming around technology & its effect on society. This album often gets panned by fans due to its heavier focus on metal elements (pun intended) & its similar song structures across the whole album. It took a bit to grow on me, but now I think it's one of the best examples of SX's heavier side, & ranks nicely in my top 5 from them now. I will say that a lot of the tedium & "songs sounding the same"-ness is the fault of the order. I have the original order in the poll (just to avoid confusion), but I think the standard order puts way too many similar songs together & has pacing issues as a result. I'll post my own order in a reply, but I think the worst example of this would have to be (probably) the heaviest song on album, which seems way too generic for me & doesn't have nearly as much soul as any of the other tracks do. I've put a bit of thought into this, but I'll have to go with
