I don't quite have a favorite yet. It is a killer cd. I have listened only once, as I don't have a stereo in my daily driver car. I will give it another whirl later today. It sounds very good, tight.

Yesterday I woke up with "Timeless Winter" stuck in my head. This morning it was "Pain through Breathing."
My son is still singing "Severe Emotional Distress". He's been singing it for over a week now!

I thought they could have had a stronger track to end the cd with so it's funny that it's the only track track(not an intro) that didn't get any votes. It's still a good track but not a song that leaves a lasting impression that you would want to end a cd with.

They were playing "Paralyzed" throughout their 2004 dates. I'm guessing the other songs came later, which are a bit more technical. Most bands would probably want to put the oldest "new" song last, if that makes any sense. Plus, it makes a good closer for this CD.

Actually most bands want to put the oldest song first because it's familiar territory for the fans so it's easier to get into the cd right off the bat. Most bands cd's start out with the song that sounded most like their last cd. What you actually really want to do is have the last song be something totally new an different.

Well...just from personal experience, the newest stuff always sounds better to the band than the older stuff. You tend to progress the more you write, so you want your newer stuff to be showcased first. I know I don't want something we've been playing for two years to be first on the album if we've written newer stuff that represents where the band is at now.BlueSky said:
Not to speak for IE, but maybe they chose "Paralyzed" as a closer because it's the least technical on STA and really works well as a to-the-point door slammer for the album.

ok, I have listened to the cd three times since my last post. I have to say that Timeless Winter is my favorite....so far. The whole album rocks!! I have been humming the songs throughout the day, so this is a winner of a album, in my opinion.
I sure hope they come back through the U.S. I need to see them live again.

i noticed that paralyzed sounded a lot like older stuff... almost reminds me of material from Dead or Dreaming more so that BiO

It's a toss up between "Pain Through Breathing" and "Severe Emotional Distress". I heard these songs for the first time live and they both killed.
I voted for Out because I especially love the chorus so much. The high pitched vocals are great.
My other favs are Pain through Breathing and Nothing.

Timeless Winter for me, the part right after the first chorus just kills.....I saw them play it at the Denver Gigantour stop, Tim was doing some wicked sliding chords during that part and not even looking at his guitar...the look on his face was "check this shit out!"
