If I had listened Souvenirs without knowing the rest of the albums of the Gathering it would have been a turnoff..
Indeed better to start with Mandylion

Souvenirs was the most difficult album for me.
For a long time it was my less favourite because I did not understand it at all.
It grows.
Mandylion and Nighttime Birds are the best albums to start with if you like the music of After Forever... cause these albums are the most 'metal'.

I didn't like Souvenires at first as well, and its still one of my least fav albums by them, yet it has one of my fav TG songs: "You learn about it". Other nice songs are ETSAF and Broken Glass.

The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils. Let no man trust him
