Not a fan of the band; I like some of their material but more often than not they fail me on the emotional level. But I take the challenge and let me be inspired to go through some of their songs; after all I don't listen to the band that often, so my opinion is not that certain.
Anyway, I always loved Alucard;
Cogs in Cogs I find quite enjoyable;
Memories of Old Days is perhaps not a masterpiece but I can still relate to it;
Prologue has some moments I like but doesn't work as a coherent whole for me;
Wreck - really not.

The vocals on Memories are terrible. GG are one of my fave bands but this song is overrated
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Cogs In Cogs
Prologue




Memories Of Old Days




Alucard
Wreck


On that scale...Alucard sounds very dated and Wreck is just that IMHO.
