Okay, first off, just let me get something off my back. Relationship of Command is their best album, hands down. I don't care about it's somewhat mainstream success. It is a landmark of an album and needs to be recognized as one. All their other albums (Aecrobatic Tenement, Vaya, In/Casino/Out) also have a very special feel to them. Sadly though, this has to be the worst offering by ATDI, and even sadder, one of THE worst albums you could possibly buy. I went through the trouble of special ordering it, just because I thought I would have been in on something. Honestly, when I found out that it came out after Aecrobatic Tenement I almost cried. How could they go from that to this? I also noticed that the back-up vocals sounded a bit different, maybe not Jim Ward in a couple of the songs. The melodies just don't have ANY special kick in them, but it's not a big deal cause ATDI will live on with their other albums. I'm saddened...
