I've been going on about them for the last little while now because I know a few people here like them and I'm hoping to create a few more fans. It's one of those albums that's not quite metal enough to turn off non metal fans, but just heavy enough to ensnare metal heads. But like you said, there are some metalheads stubborn enough to not like it for it's quirkiness. It's just so unique, I would have never believed that a moog synth could be utilized for anything other than industrial metal, but Sigh proved me wrong there. What's great about them is that they've been growing ever since that album, adding a saxophonist to their permanent roster who is a woman no less. Besides playing the saxophone she acts a secondary vocalist, often doing a harsher style effect than Mirai Kawashima, as well as acting as the bands chief sex appeal, which has given the band more notoriety in the last 3 years.
