I'm not going to focus on the "this band features members of..." or the "Well, these songs were released on the internet..."-- I am going to take this CD purely for what it is, and that is eleven songs of bliss.
The next song is "14 to 41", which is a great song that just leads close enough in the pop punk sense to make a smooth transition from "Lukewarm", but it drifts just far away to move nicely into "Hostage"- which is the third song and one of my favorites.
This is a slow song that is mainly piano and vocals, but it is so beautiful and heartwarming.

A perhaps-supernatural thriller, Regina's Song is also a novella-length idea padded to 400 pages of novel.
The authors skillfully weave together the threads of twins Regina and Renata's life as seen through the eyes of Mark, a family friend and the twins' surrogate big brother.
While there is some repetition in dialogue and setting descritiors, the Eddings' use gothic conventions and tropes to their advantage in this psychological thriller.

Ultimately, "Regina's Song" is the only book published by the Eddingses since 1999 that is worth the cover price.
It will not surprise you, but it may intrigue you, even though, sadly, you simply won't CARE which twin was murdered because the Eddingses did a poor job of making you think about about them at all.
Its a thriller that doesn't thrill, but thats not the worst part.
