I'd have to agree, though GDBD was my first in depth introduction to the
band... that along with DARKEST NIGHT in an enclosed porch by candle light on
a cold snowy February night.
I do own TWHF (IRS version) and think a lot of the songs on their are good,
while the arrangment and execution is leagues behind GDBD and the work since.
Furthermore, I think the instrumentation on "Moth", "Anyway", and "I Will
Remember" (all from ASR) is taking the GDBD sound even further and onto
greater things.
