Some bands have long declines, whereas others just fall off a cliff. This is still a good album, but way under the standards that masterpiece debut established. [First added to this chart: 12/04/2024]

I absolutely love "Vonal Declosion," which is a kinetic rush, and there are a few more strong tracks here. [First added to this chart: 12/04/2024]
