Well...well, well, well, well. There is another? I don't like Imaginos
either, and for the EXACT same reasons stated above by Mike. I see that
there is a wealth of lyrical intrigue, but the music and/or singing must
always hook me. I don't see how this is comparable to the Holy Trinity and I
have given it a fair amount of listens (the latter few also inspired by
constant raving here)...no dice. Not that I DISlike it. After all, it IS
BOC, so it's good, I just don't have the desire to play it. I actually
prefer Club Ninja (though not by much). I can take the flames, but what it
comes down to is that it doesn't hit me on a visceral level...
