I wouldn't mind having a crack at this.
I too am shattered that other church fans find this album sub-standard or worse. This album is to me what i had been waiting for. Anaesthesia opens the album beautifully and sets the mood. The mood actually is the most stand out feature of HOB. The blending of guitars in Another earth and the sheer simplicity of tranquility's melody is so moving and, to me anyway, is timeless from the moment it was released. And Buffalo? Who couldn't like that song?? I mean c'mon... If the new stuff is anything to go by, it sounds like those who don't like HOB may well be dissapointed for future efforts. For me, well i'll just sit back in pure bliss, listen, dream.
Dont go looking for me
Leave me
In tranquility.
