Lifeblood is their most criminally underrated album - underrated by the band too. Such a great cohesive album - their second best after Holy Bible to me.
My only complaint with it is that the mastering is a little wonky. Everything is too damn loud, and JDB's voice is too high in the mix often times - but the songs are wonderful. I know they've been giving some of their albums the reissue/remaster treatment, but given the band's feelings about this one I'm not optimistic it'll get the same treatment for its 20th anniversary (2024) - it's sad too, because this album could really use a remaster to clean up some things.
