First off, let me just say that this album is quite good, but the sophomore album drill is the same. Yes, it's different than "Second to the Last Frontier"; no, not everything that you may have loved in it is present here, but it's still a very respectable offering, and you might find a whole other set of things to love in it. The big difference you're likely to notice is that the wild, barely contained insanity feel has changed; really, a good way to sum it up is to say that it's simply more contained. It's a much softer album with hardly any shrieking and only occasional patches of ferociousness to punch through the menace, and that's about it. Solid song writing, experimental, strange, subdued.
