Pre-order now 'Mosaic', the new album from Theocracy

Song by song:

I Am: musically awesome, lyrically less so. 
The Master Storyteller: straight awesome. 
Nailed: starts off great but peters out
Hide in the Fairytale: awesome all around
The Gift of Music: the gift of the skip button
30 Pieces of Silver: solid
Drown: dull
Altar to the Unknown God: awesome sauce
Light of the World: this one has grown on me, but I still think it sounds a little pop-punkish.
As the World Bleeds: solid

AtWB’s title track is incredible, easily the best song on the album for me

Prior to this jump for Mosaic to the top, As The World Bleeds top of my list. That album blew me away and still does. 

I love Ghost Ship. That whole album is fantastic. Only the first two albums have songs that I don't love. There are no bad songs in the Theocracy catalogue.

Their two lowest scores are 90%. It just goes to show you how greatly consistent Theocracy is. When you have albums that rank 90,95,100%…it just comes down to your individual preference on which one you like better…they are all great. Mirror of Souls is their best and my favorite…I would be comfortable with a 100% rating. However, after listening daily to Mosaic, I am now comfortable to move it from my second favorite to being tied for first with MOS. 

Currently I would rank them:
1-MOS & Mosaic
2-S/T 
3-ATWB
4-Ghost Ship

Honorable Mention:
5-Their Christmas Songs(there are enough songs for an album)

**I think Red Sea is a great song despite how long it is. I don’t get bored with it.**

I could see Mosaic crawling up my list to the top. I’m not ready to put it there yet, but it’s so dang good that I could see it happening.

Did you purposefully choose 7 1/2? Not sure how much you knew then, but that's basically the exact length of LFoR

First listen:

Better than I thought it would be. They (Matt) hasn't lost a thing.

I'm finding that with the Mozaic album.  I've listened to all the songs once or twice, and think they're great, but I know I'll love them more if I have repeated listens.  I actually really love the ballad (and that's because it's the most accessible because it's a short song).

That was how Tourniquet's Broken Chromosomes was for me, it's currently my #1 song from anyone, but when I first heard it I liked the lyrics but overall found it very weird sounding. And it's not even TQT's weirdest... I think they are another band that can grow on you, but probably because you have to get used to some of the weirdness.
