All in all, if you are like me and only own "Blood and Fire" and "Liberate", but want some of the good songs from their other albums, without the mess of actually owning the other albums, this is a good investment. Or, if you don't own any of the albums, this is a good overview of what Zao has done in their career to this point. Of course, the hardcore Zao fans will need to get their hands on the two previously unreleased tracks.

Allrighty, u did a pretty good job with the review, my only complaints are those of ur badmouthing the selftitled album. I have all the zao cds and i know the selftitled isnt the best, but its not by any means conceivable a bad album. Its no Splinter Shards but its not shabby at all. And Parade of Chaos doesnt deserve all the praise it got, with a few good songs (free the three, suspend/suspension,pirates prayer),but it doesnt measure up to the selftitled at all. I really wish they traded "Times of Seperation" for "In Loving Kindness", and "The Race of Standing still" is a fantastic song. "To think of you" along with "Tool to scream" should really be on here too. Overall, not tooo horrible of a job reviewing.

This Legendary CD is the best thing ZAO's ever done. Ravage Ritual is the sickest song i've ever heard. Can't wait to get their Lesser Lights of Heaven DVD, go out and buy it now, it's gonna eat your face off.
