To each his own, I guess. Personally I don't see how you can even compare
the two. I suppose much of DCD is rather gloomy (they also have their
uplifting stuff, too..) but this gloominess is of a rather thought-provoking
nature rather than the surface-pop crap that composes much of DM's wretched
existence. I do agree Brendan's writing is beginning to suffer concerning
the last album but the "Passage in Time" isn't supposed to include anything
from this.. Unless DCD put rather subpar stuff on APiT (like relying too
heavily on the first album) I don't see how one can draw such a conclusion.
I have no interest in the compilation simply because I have all the albums.
Could someone mail me the track listing?
Anyway, for those who like DCD, you might also try: Ordo Equitum Solis, Love
is Colder than Death, And Also the Trees, Love Spirals Downward.
