i mean, watching phontes evolution from lb to this, plus knowing WE were so close to it, PLUS the extra Zo and Tigallo type gems...how can you not ride for the whole FE family?

Like previous posters, LIAB remains the standard for me, and each release since then has been a departure from the next....i still rode for Authenticity, and LIFC was good music that didnt *really* grab me, even though Better was absolute heat.

Still, I dont hear any bad music on this release, its just that nothing resonates with *me*

The trajectory of FE is similar to the roots for me, in that with each release they gained new fans and solidified their core base, but each album cost them a small group that couldnt keep up with the changes.

While still a fan, i came in at DYWM, and havent bought a new release since Game Theory

Still a fan of FE, came in at Connected, but I am torn about making this purchase
