I agree!! I stil listen to this album a lot, and never seem to tire of it. <<I suppose though, ultimately they weren't able to really go anywhere with it as their second album was much worse, sounding like a rehashed version of the prior one. >> I disagree here. I like the second album as much as the first. They had a lot of MAJOR problems with the label, and thet received very little money, even though their first album skyrocketed. (Surprise, surprise.) They regrouped, and formed a new band with a new vocalist, called themselves November Project, and came out with a decent EP. They disbanded, are reforming once again, and I am interested in hearing their new sound. In the meantime, Mary Fahl, the original lead singer, who has one of the most interesting deep voices I've ever heard, is on her own, and has also come out with an EP. Those of you who received my January "CD of the Month" have heard her sing "Paolo" from that EP. Hugs, Ashara
