After a couple of listens I really like the album overall.

Decks Dark, Identikit, and the Numbers stand out as great tracks.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor Rich Man Poor Man Beggar Man Thief is also really good. The back end of the album is much better than the first (besides Burn the Witch). I think my initial disappointment came from expecting the album to be like Burn the Witch all the way through with a more up tempo feel.

Album was much better once I sat down and took it in with headphones.(I guess most are )

I don't really care for what They have become, and I don't really mind where They are.

Listened for the first time last night. Beautiful album. I listened to half of it in my car on the way home, and half in my living room, so I want to give it another listen on some headphones.

I think that the pace is fine, but I'm not one that judges an album based on the number of "fast" or "uptempo" songs it has on it. I quite enjoy slow, dark songs. I really dig the layered, sound-scapish feel of it, and it's score-like qualities. Listening to "Daydreaming" on the way home, driving into an incredible sunset going over downtown was wonderful.

These songs will be kickass live too.

I think it's funny how someone said it's the "Thom Yorke Show " or whatever, because Johnny is all over the album, and it seems like he had a large hand in the direction. I think it's a great effort from everyone in the band really.
