pretty good - i really like loyal to none and resentment as well as swan song. i think taipan will grow on me not sure though... heavy as expected from kublai khan tx so im really glad about that. not nearly as good as nomad or absolute but i still enjoy it (nomad and beneath a crescent moon conjured up so many emotions for me it was really heartfelt so not much compares to be honest). I also love dynasty as an outro its so good.
i love courtney's vocals and how they fit perfectly with the mixing of this song i mean it must've taken forever to perfect the relationship between the vocals and everything else. also i love the explosive beginning and endings of this song
