I'm liking RTC a bit better so far, but that's probably just because it's had more time to sink in. I know the new album's faster and probably techically better, but RTC has more memorable songwriting if you ask me. I'll give it some time when the album comes out.
To clear up the lineup: Anders and Dan split the guitars, and I think they did a pretty good job. In listening to RTC again yesterday, I realised Dan's drumming isn't that bad after all. It's not as fast as a lot of extreme metal bands, but hey. There are a lot of great songs on that cd.
Dan mentioned on his forum that Mike contributed one lyric line to Bloodbath: "know me as the Soulcollector" at the end of the Soullcollector. Good contribution if you ask me.
