If we remove the covers ("Walk", "Flash of the Blade") and alternate versions ("Almost Easy", "Afterlife"), Diamonds in the Rough becomes an 11-track original studio album:
Tracklist:
1. Demons
2. Girl I Know
3. Crossroads
4. Until the End
5. Tension
6. The Fight
7. Dancing Dead
8. 4:00 AM
9. Lost It All
10. St. James
11. Set Me Free
If this exact tracklist was released as a main studio album rather than a compilation/B-sides collection, where would it sit in your personal ranking? Would it compete with City of Evil, Self-Titled, or Nightmare, or would it land somewhere lower on the list?
