I like Now and Kiss the Day. I'd like Torn To Shreds if the lyrics didn't make me gag like the rest of the album does. Scar.....I would normally love something like that...but that track was actually obligatory....imposed by the record company. I have my moments where I can get completely into it, but there is just something about it that leaves a bad aftertaste....so it falls in the same category as White Lightening....tolerable and enjoyable at times..falling flat at other times. I do think that middle guitar break is way too much like Die Hard the Hunter...as if they weren't even trying. "Let's just slow down the tempo and tack it on at the beginning of the solo rather than in the middle." Of course it's not exactly like it..but it's just too similar to avoid thinking of anything else everytime I hear it instead of just enjoying the change of pace within the song.
