Hedon

I'm sure that I'm not contributing anything new to this forum by saying that Hedon is an incredible song. Still, I think it needs to be said.

There is something... powerful about how the song kicks into gear after the first five or so seconds and we are immediately hit with a dark and despairing atmosphere. Brilliant.

The lyrics at the end, "We look at you, afraid to see what we really are" in conjunction with the guitars are simply brilliant.

Is The Mind's I considered an underrated album? I actually prefer it to the Gallery.

I do too, but I'm not sure it's considered underrated. It's just not as highly rated as others.

Wouldn't that be the very definition of underrated?

In any case, the reason there isn't much discussion here about which album
is the best, is simple, they are too hard to put in order since they are all damn
brilliant in their own way and for me anyway, the "best" one depends too much
on the mood I'm in.

NP: Iron Maiden - Powerslave - Aces High

I don't want to be saved I'm next in line to die
Labeled sick, but I'm just a man
Everyone I love has left me for dead
This void illusion I suffer for, they made me their god

And I am so much more than you

Actually it's funny, this thread made me realize for the first time that "underrated" implies "wrongly".

Well, maybe not by the actual definition, but if something is rated under
other albums...
