While their entire discography is awesome, Axe To Fall was revelatory to me as a 20 year old getting into more extreme music back in 2009. That one-two combo of Dark Horse and Reap What You Sow will be hard for them ever to top. Jane Doe's probably a better album objectively, but that personal connection wins out IMO.
Come to think of it, this band has some absurd 1-2 punch openers. Concubine -> Fault and Fracture Aimless Arrow, Trespasses Dark Horse, Reap What You Sow
No Heroes is prob my least fav of all their records from Jane onwards but Plagues is the heaviest song ever created
I'll have to say, the remaster made me rediscover You Fail Me to the point it's now my second favorite album.
I am on this wave. For years and years, I thought YFM was just ehhhh. Then I listened to the remaster and couldn't stop listening. I'm an idiot.
