Also, I'm very much looking forward to Road Salt One. It's got AOTY written all over it!
Agreed, I really liked Scarsick (albeit a few misteps - I never like 'America' among a few other songs) but it has some of their best stuff on it... plus any album the closes as well as it does with 'Enter Rain' deserves more attention. I think a lot of their fans tend to be turned off by the rather simple straight-forward way it explains stuff. It's not as metaphoric or symbolic as previous works. Then again those same people complain that Be is too excessively arty and hard to wrap their heads around. Go figure lol.

I still love it, and 'Cribcaged' is one of my favourite PoS songs.
