The whole album is amazing. It took me a couple of listens to be completely drawn in by it though. The vocals in some of the songs take a little getting used to....they're much softer than usual in some parts and than it just explodes. A Farewell to Arms is a perfect example of that. I agree about Aesthetics of Hate. Having read the article that it is (sort of) a rebuttal to, it just makes it that much harder and stronger. If you haven't read the article-you can read it here:
Aesthetics of Hateand yes....I am definitely buying the album when it does come out! :up:
