I have loved ISC for years...but while this cd SOUNDS good, they seem to have lost the edge they once had and have gone more commercial. Some of the songs here can be found on the EP in different, harder mixes. It's all just a little too smooth here. I am also disappointed that they have not progressed forward in theme....it seems they are hung up on this angel verses man war theme...or a demonic/religious theme. It's ok, but they have done it before on the brilliant "Holy" and did it better.Two songs are good on here, I will say. "Fading Light" is a great EBM piece, and perhaps the best song on this cd. The second is "Promised Land". The other songs are just way too slow and bland to be of much interest. ISC is at it's best when it does EBM, which is not this cd.It just lacks substance. But it's good pop if you're looking for less that won't stay with you. Get "Holy" instead or the EP
