Took this photo at Ripley's Odditorium in San Antonio in the Torture section of the tour. Reminded me of a certain X Factor photo:

Just went through this myself on the individual track threads.

Sign Of The Cross - 7/10 >
Lord Of The Flies - 6/10 >
Man On The Edge - 6/10 >
Fortunes Of War - 4/10 >
Look For The Truth - 3/10 >
The Aftermath - 5/10 >
Judgement Of Heaven - 4/10 >
Blood On The World's Hands - 8/10 >
The Edge Of Darkness - 6/10 >
2 A.M. - 7/10 >
The Unbeliever - 4/10 >

Average: 5.5/10
Weighted: 5.5/10

There are a few bright spots, but mediocre songwriting and weak vocal performances drag everything down, completely tanking almost half the songs on the album.

This one's at its best when Blaze holds it together, which he manages to do on "Blood On The World's Hands" and mostly manages to do on "Sign Of The Cross" and "2 A.M."
