I gave this 4-stars because I liked their album 'Ave End' as the best. Christopher is the best of the singers this band has gone through. This is what a "real" man sounds like, not those high-pitched wimp-boys that stupid teen girls swoon over. This album is excellent with 3 charted Goth-10's "My Velvet Little Darkness", "Again It's Over" and "Sweet Caroline". "Short Glance" is a great ballad that reaches deep into your soul and "Sad Theme for a Marriage" like-wise is just that. The powerfulness of "My Mescaline" is a great finale to a superb composition. I recommend this fully.
