There's only one album before this one. Dunno, I don't care for them much. But then again I haven't heard much The debut didn't convince me back in days and that first (new) single is crap.
13th step definitely contains a couple of killer tracks :
THE PACKAGE
THE NOOSE
Darn, it's been a while since i heard something so outstanding, and mind you, i really didnt like Mer De Noms, i thought it was dead boring, and still think it is.
Actually the only thing i loved from their first album is a remix, which dont appear on the album hehe ( Judith - Dany Lohner remix )
So it's a great surprise!
It's always nice to see one can change its mind from an album to another, good sign of maturity and talent i reckon !
13th step is definitely one of my album of the year
Even though I liked Mer De Noms a lot, I think Thirteenth Step is much better, maturer, more unified and has better songs. And better lyrics. Interestingly, Weak and Powerless sounds much better on the album than separately.
