Show Me a Leader is a decent opener and I've always loved Writing on the Wall, but that's not an opinion shared by all. Whereas, Island of Fools is a straight up monster. Should've been the lead single and track 2 - willing to die on a hill for this. The band for some reason have never realised its greatness.
100% agree on Island of Fools in that #2 (Come To Life, Isolation, Addicted To Pain) spot on the album.

I will defend that hill for you.
I had to look this up to see what song it was. When I first heard it I remember feeling like the intro was epic and my guess was that it was the title track. Then the heavy came in and I was a bit underwhelmed. It’s actually a cool song though.. it probably would sound better earlier on the album. Sometimes It’s good to listen to a long album backwards. Gives you a different perspective.

I’d contribute an under appreciated song but I’m not sure which songs are appreciated or not. I saw Shoe Me a Sign mentioned earlier. That’s a really great song for my money. It’s very dark and unique. My least favorite part of it is the chorus which Is guess is most people’s favorite part if they like the song at all.

Do people like All Hope is Gone? I love that song. It perfectly captures the feeling that everything is just pointless... and at the same time makes me feel better about it.

I don't like it because it reminds me of Broken Wings, which I also don't like.

Interesting. I never felt any connection. I’m not a big fan of Broken Wings either.

Yeah because there are no real connections, despite the guitar tuning

I don't hear it either.. Different time signature, different tempo, different chord pattern, different vibe... :shrug

All Hope Is Gone felt really ballady to me the one time I heard it. Similar to Broken Wings.

Am I the only one that legitimately thought you meant the song was better than moist wood?
