well, comparisons are tough.  present still are mike pritzl's passionate 
vocals, but the overall mix is much...noisier.  gone are the unabashed(and 
beautiful) praise songs.  instead, the praise comes in a more subtle, 
realistic, even doubting, tone.  mike says what we feel but are afraid to 
admit we feel.  at least that's my take on it.  you should read the 
"biorythms" page on the website (www.thevioletburning.com).  there're more 
details there.  but i would definitely recommend hunting down the 
self-titled cd at a bargain bin near you, and ordering the new record.  you 
won't be sorry.                               -weston
