Core? CORE?!!! Come on, core was great, showed a lot of promise but Purple was by far the best. Yeah, it didnt hit like a freight train like Core did but thats a good thing. Much deeper lyrics, more introverted. Id say its one of the best albums of its time, no question. My only compaint (and its small) is they grouped it wrong. It got a little too slow at points so thats why I remixed the order myself. Ah.... I love my purple.
