We definitely had the same early impressions of this album. I discovered it at the same age that you're at, and "Wondering" was one of those absolutely genius tracks to me. I had this vivid faux-memory whenever I'd listen to it about my girlfriend and I being in complete happiness...she dumped me shortly after. XD. BUT that memory still lives in that song and I love it nonetheless.
I'm interested in your answer for this...what's your least favorite from Colma? I ask because although this was hard as hell for me to pick when I discovered it, I had one. And that least favorite is now one of my favorites. I will reveal to you what track that is as soon as you tell me what yours is. :P
Gotcha. That's been one that I've loved, but it was lower for a bit. My least favorite was Sanctum. However, last night (and lately in general) I came to the conclusion that no badasser a song could have ever been concocted. You just feel like a boss listening to it.
I'm keeping a close eye on you and your reviews.
