I loved the synthwork in Catacombs, but i thought the lead tone was pretty weak.

Crashman was pretty cool, but for the first half of the mix the bass dominated.

Crashman almost gets my vote for its cheesy comedic effect, but then my senses come back to me and make me click Catacombs, which seems to me like a far more complex arrangement.

This track seems even more disjointed and poorly-performed than ever. The leads just can't keep up with the complex tune and it winds up out of sync and slurred to hell. This is really too bad, since this tune is crying out for a good arrangement.

Still pretty weird, and I'm not sure if it was intended for comic effect or in deadly earnest. But it is original, and listenable.

Crashman.

I really like the energy of Catacombs Beneath the Twilight of the opening part in particular, after a few seconds in when when the electric guitar starts (sweeping?) and the other one comes in harmony with it. It sort of stagnates afterwards though without much more direction or development.
I give an acknowledging nod to Crashman which sounds pretty cute, and it's one of the times I'm not thinking of a song like this as a joke song.

Blame Tim Follin then (I'll have to kill you though), because the arrangement is pretty coverish, so the structure is all his.
