Differen, so what?

Review Score: (10/10)
Every time I see this album in the used section, I feel this urge to buy it again. I don't understand why so many people don't appreciate this album for what it is. Don't compare it with the other ones; this one has a light of its own. It starts where P=A left with the dark and haunting "Day of the Dead" (try to listen this one under the light of the stars, mmm), followed by one of the most cruelly over looked and ignored Church songs, "Lost My Touch". This one is a gem, kind of electronic with a melancholic and dark melody that it's hard to get out of your head. "Loveblind " goes in the same direction as "Lost My Touch" but with more acoustic guitars and dreamlike female choruses, nice story. My Little Problem is a nice melancholic song that grows on you after a few listens. The Maven is the hard rocking song of the album, then comes an almost dance song, Angelica, with a very interesting blend of guitar feedback with electronic s beats and a little oriental feel. `Two Places At Once" is a mellow kind of romantic song, but not with a common story, do you believe in reincarnation? "Business Woman" and "Authority" are two songs that weren't suppose to be in the album, but I find them exquisite. If only pop would always sound like this. "Fly Home" and "The Dead Man's Dream" are two hypnotizing psychedelic peaces that will make you want to laid back and relax. If you're new to The Church and want to get a classic, may be this one isn't the right start, but never the less this is a hell of a good Church album. Don't hesitate in buying it.
