I really don't understand why I can't stop listening to Melancholy! this might be the 20th time I'm listening to it. I guess I can live with Iced Earth as long as they have powerful ballads like "Melancholy"I've always had problem with comprehending their music, no matter how hard I tried, until I stumbled upon this EP and I'm sure I've made the right choice by giving it 9/10
