Data Insight
The lyrics are Erna's on all but two tracks, and the music is split out separately for the first time, which puts Tony Rombola on five. Still nobody from outside the band on any of it.
Awake came out on Universal in October 2000 and is certified 2x platinum. The instrumental "Vampires" got the band their first Grammy nomination.
