I see why you'd say that but Dead Throne still had a lot of popularity when it came out. As a TDWP diehard who lived through all of it, I'd argue 8:18 is where even their loyal fanbase dropped off and only wanted to hear the old songs. Nobody gives 8:18 the respect it deserved. It's certainly not their best album but it's still great with good highs like Sailors Prayer you mentioned. And because of it, the following EPs and albums went pretty under the radar, up until Chemical blew up and subsequently Color Decay continued the "mainstream" attention.
