I have to say Born Sandy Devotional is my favourite of their albums but this one is really good too.

Is it in the tournament?

It is! I nominated it in 2nd place.

Personal Note: Even though Born Sandy Devotional is regarded as their best, Calenture is a masterpiece and what I believe to be their greatest. I find that the album is one I always go back to and can listen to in any frame of mind. Each song offers its own story and that comes from David McComb's brilliant songwriting and unique voice.
