Castaway is one of my favs on GS. The two best songs on GS are GS and ATWAB. The weakest on ATWB is probably 30POS

You may be the first person I’ve seen who doesn’t acknowledge the fact that The Wonder of it All is the best song on Ghost Ship

Easter and Stir the Embers are better imo.

It's up there. 3 or 4.

Call to Arms is the most underrated Theocracy tune. Not my very favorite—even on GS—but most underrated. It’s very classic metal with a big, anthemic hook.

I agree.

Here's my take on the "flower metal" thing:

Narnia has more influence from Trad/Heavy Metal which stylistically has a harder edge than Power Metal. I think this is reflected in the guitar tone and style in Narnia and the vocal influences on Christian Liljegren. Theocracy is more squarely in the Power Metal camp and I especially find Matt Smith's vocals to be on the more flowery side, which is normative for Power Metal and one reason I can't listen to much of it. It's basically just a matter of taste and I like Heavy Metal more than Power Metal because of it's harder edge.

Narnia by a mile for me.  Theocracy is good but it's not even close.
