Agree about “Acoustically Speaking”. It’s a great album, for exactly the reasons you say, even though I’m no sure about the Caribbean sounds on “Within Cold Glass”. Do wonder if the pared-down sound of “And Another Thing” is trying to create a similar vibe, although I’d like to see them do another unplugged record. Matt needs to get a stand-up bass, though ;)

Its the EP’s Script Switch Trigger and takes a bunch of very decent songs to a higher level. My personal preference for The Reasoning is for a more melodic sound with a bit less metal, where Rachel Cohen has the time and space to really express her vocal.

The Reasoning album I like the best is the acoustic album. I play it a lot. Apart from Shadows Of The Mind, the best songs from the first three albums are all on there. And it works. I’d like to hear more of these kind of albums.
