* "I Appear Missing" is definetly one of their best songs. It starts as a straightforward rock song (albeit a straightforward rock song with Dave Grohl on drums, which makes it better than most other straightforward rock songs), then around the 3 minute mark the song just stops, then comes back, then sounds like it collapses on itself. All of this leads up to an incredible guitar solo, with some gut wrenching lyrics afterwards.
-->Don't cry
-->With my toes on the edge it's such a lovely view
-->Inside
-->I never loved anything until I loved you
-->Inside
-->I'm over the edge, what can I do?
-->Inside

-->I've fallen through
* "Kalopsia" which uses the soft verse, loud chorus dynamic to brilliant effect.
* Both the TitleTrack and "The Vampyre Of Time And Memories" are ballads and they're both really good.

Song titles go in quotes, not italics. Also, \"its\" is a possessive determiner, while \"it\'s\" is a contraction of \"it is\" or \"it has\"; they are NOT interchangeable. And just putting the title of the song as an example and expecting that to be sufficient context is Fan Myopia; remember, this page is for everyone to read, not just fans.
