I have access to two of their albums, "De-Loused in the Comatorium" and "Frances the Mute", and before I go and download both entire albums, I was wondering if you guys could give me some examples of good songs on those CDs. Sank you. :)

There's no good songs on De-Loused, really. It's a concept album, and to get the FULL effect must be heard from beginning to end. I'd also suggest reading the backstory behind it, as it adds a lot of depth to it, though it's not neccessary I suppose. Beautiful album.

Frances the Mute...didn't like so much, but still good. Similar backstory, I dislike the execution, but they still did a fine job of it.

You can definately appreciate individual songs on each of the albums, although definately moreso on the first album. The second album is a lot more thematic.

I VERY MUCH disagree with this. The first album has songs that are memorable, but overall they create a much better atmosphere and convey the theme better than the second, especially separating the conscious bits from the unconscious bits, etc.
