I was convinced ''Strange Machines'' is the heaviest track on there. Perhaps that's why I like it the most.
It's the heaviest and the catchiest. I responding to the album in the same way at first, thinking the other tracks just didn't live up to it, but it really works well as a whole. The other thing I dislike about it nowadays is that Anneke occasionally sounds like an overzealous Eurovision contestant.

I'm definitely not a fan of female fronted stuff but I thought Anneke sounded alright on that album.

I prefer it over Gothic nowadays, making it my favorite too.

Finding out what ''Enchantment'' was about lyrically really was the cherry on the cake.

This one definitely lost quite much of its appeal to me over the years.

It's only 4 years old bro For PL it's certainly not an old release, but it doesn't seem like 4 years ago to me. Time really flies.

Time does fly indeed - my point was just how relatively quickly I got less excited about it. I used to think the harsh vocals and more expanded material really worked but nowadays it's just ''Beneath Broken Earth'', ''Sacrifice the Flame'', ''Victims of the Past'' and ''Flesh from Bone'' that really do it for me.
