I'll give it "Amazing" as it's probably my favourite album of this year. No weak spots, which I can't say the same for Exmilitary. I don't agree that the album lost much if any steam as it went on. I really liked songs like System Blower and Hacker, although, like I said before, I didn't think there were any weak spots on the album.

I agree with ET that it kind of seems like they're holding back (or at least that it doesn't seem nearly as intense as Exmilitary) but I didn't mind that at all. It'll be interesting to see which one of these "styles" they go with in the future, or if they go in a different direction altogether.

I still think Takyon is the best song they've done, and Guillotine is right up there as well, but this was a much more solid package than Exmilitary overall IMO.
