Echolalia - Okay, I just talked about depth. This is probably my favorite song on the album. A Brief Intermission have really caught my ear and imagination. The Sun Tells The Moon as a highlight of Mander Salis contains a ton of astounding melodies. In On The Threshold Of Eternity The Snake The Cross The Crown spins a tale you want to hear to the end. Album opener A Gathering Of Shades is a bright, upbeat ditty. Gates Of Dis to me is the best you can get from The Snake The Cross The Crown. Empires is a very catchy tune. In An Honest Misappropriation Of Funds The Snake The Cross The Crown is at his best.
