I think the stark colors of this album cover affected the way I heard it when I first listened. It sounded like just a straight metal album to me.

I had to listen to it a few times before I realized that it had a lot of tonal/genre variety just like most FNM-Patton albums.

Could be! I mean, I think this is also a subtler album than "Angel Dust" in that you're not repeatedly slapped across the face with striking orchestration and off-the-wall flourishes.

Those are still there on "KFaD", but tucked in for repeat listens. Mind you, I'm not saying one approach is better than the other, but... variation!

I think also this direction was what frustrated Jim Martin when they made "Angel Dust", and his departure is pretty evident on here.
