Added DiffLines:

* DarkerAndEdgier: Damnum. While, musically, things haven't changed much aside from a shift away from more technical songs to more proggy songs, lyrically, it's significantly darker with less science and more death and despair. Songs like "Called Home" are particularly heavy.


Added DiffLines:

** Averted on Damnum. The lyrics take a ''much'' darker turn.
