In God We Trust is just a carbon copy of To Hell With The Devil... it kicks off with the heavy title song, followed by the "pop" rock song (which was, of course, released as the first single)... even the ballads are in the same positions in the running order as the ones on THWTD. You can practically hear the band in the studio saying "OK guys, since we sold a shitload of the last album, we're gonna do another one EXACTLY LIKE IT!"
You're exactly right. Good analogy!
