Least favorites on Senjutsu

That's funny because I do a podcast (link in my signature) and we recently did an episode about drafting songs/bands/albums with Jesus in the name. What makes it funny is that we were talking about hockey (like Puck Soup!) for the first few minutes. I have read those guys for years following...

What podcast, btw?

What are you initial favorite songs after your first few listens to Senjutsu? I'm only keeping this open a couple weeks and you can't change your vote--initial impressions only!
