I better get in here before every song is my favorite. The first listen through, track 1 (The Power to Believe) stood out and kicked my ass as well as The Temple Within (#6). I thought the song was cool live last year, but man it really develops on the CD and kicks so much ass! I love the distorted full chords at the end! They ring through so nice and with the vocals at the end -- just kicks ass! As time goes on, more and more tracks are really standing out.

My current top 5 of this disk are:
The Power to Believe
The Temple Within (Chris' finest performance on the disk)
The Passion of Words (man, this one kicks some serious ass too and really sticks in my head)
Resurrection
Inner Spirit (love when it slows down and Chris really lights it up; those chromatic runs in the beginning are just plain SICK too!)

OK, I'll stop! It is definitely one of those disks that take multiple listens to even begin to digest and fully appreciate. Great stuff!! Can't wait to see them live again!
