Malina will be my album of the year, but I've listened to less than 10 albums so it's not difficult. I'm waiting for the new The Contortionist, Caligula's Horse and Thumpermonkey albums but I doubt thay will top Malina.
I'm surprised to see people that doesn't like at all this album. To me it was amazing since the first\second listen even in 135kbps quality.
Every track is great, none of them is bad or even average, and there are some masterpieces as usual. Bonneville, Mirage, Malina are my favourites at the moment.
I don't know how to rank Stuck and From The Flame, especially Stuck because I have to get used to the new ending, but in the context of the album are better, maybe because I don't have anymore the fear of a entire prog-pop album. I'm waiting for my mediabook to arrive, I still have to listen to Root.
