I actually haven't heard much from "Elegant....and Dying". I would say that "Sombre Romantic" is significantly different from their other cds, though. It is much faster paced and more varied in sound than any of their other music (at least from what I have heard). If you don't care for "Elegant..." then it is worth at least trying "Sombre Romantic".
Unfortunately, I don't care very much for Saviour Machine. I like the premise of their lyrics, but his dramatic vocals get a little old after a while. Also, from the few songs that I have heard, the music is pretty bland with the focus of the song being almost entirely on the vocals. Have I just heard a bad selection of songs, or is that pretty much how all of their music is?
