Made a few changes, especially near the bottom with some October tracks that I just :drool: for while songs like "Staring At The Sun" haven't aged as well for me. New album is great but none of the songs really are absolute classics for me and that won't be changing over time as a bunch of tracks from the last couple albums affected me deeply right away.
