Decadent
Decadent is British progressive metal band Threshold's first fan club album, released in 1999. The album features remixes and radio edits of songs from their previous albums, as well as one acoustic remake and one song that was hitherto only available on the Japanese release of Psychedelicatessen. The album was reissued in 2003 with modified CD artwork; it is now out of print but available for download on iTunes. Three of the remixes on the album bear strong similarity to the versions of the songs produced for the 2001 reissue of Psychedelicatessen. Several of the tracks on this album appear as easter eggs in the multimedia portions of the special edition reissues of Wounded Land and Psychedelicatessen.

From Mount Hollywood, Los Angeles looks rather nice, enveloped in a haze of changing colors. Actually, and in spite of all the healthful sunshine and ocean breezes, it is a bad place - full of old, dying people, who were born old of tired pioneer parents, victims of America - full of curious wild and poisonous growths, decadent religious cults and fake science, and wildcat enterprises, which, with their aim for quick profit, are doomed to collapse and drag down multitudes of people.
For so long, Sansas hair changed season by season depending on who was influencing her, the first few episodes she was a Northerner in Winterfell and took after her mother with a simple braid down the back.

Then she goes back to Winterfell and returns to her mothers hair.
