Best album by The Gathering?

Souvenirs needs to be given a chance before apreciating it. I absolutely love Black Light District (Debris and that guitar part in the middle of BLD are awesome) but was really underwhelmed and dissapointed by Souvenirs. Then i started listening to it a lot a few weeks back and have become totally hooked.
"Monsters" is one of the bands best songs.
 
In order of preference, but all of them ranging above the "worthy to buy" line:

1. Nighttime Birds
2. Souvenirs
3. if_then_else
4. Mandylion
5. How to Measure a Planet?
6. Almost a Dance
 
The Gathering is one of my favorite bands... all their albums are worthy buying, IMO!

My favorites are:

1. Souvenirs
2. If_then_else
3. Mandylion
4. Nighttime Birds
5. How to measure a planet?

The live album, Superheat, and the EP black light district are also very good!
