[kj] Undersung KJ songs

[Javier Garcia]

First, I love Democracy. To me it was like fresh water after Pandemonium (which I don't hate, but honestly I rank it below the average) Aeon and Intellect are my faves on the album. Pilgrimage, Absent Friends, and Medicine Wheel are damn good too. Another Bloody Election, Democracy and Savage Freedom are good to me, but not in my top. The weakest -but still good-: Lanterns of Hope and Prozac People.

I've always liked the mix of electric and acoustic guitar in the album: Savage Freedom, Democracy, Lanterns..., Pilgrimage, even the mighty Another Bloody Election; that sound texture gives a unique atmosphere to the songs.
And even when i rank this album high, i think a remix would be great.
