I have never heard of this band. 

On one hand, they were pretty much dormant for 10 years. On the other hand, given your location, I'm really surprised you didn't trip over them somehow.

As for the new album, it's not their best, it's not their worst, it's a solid Enchant album. Was surprised after 10 years that it did hold a good bit of the Enchant sound to it. If you went in expecting that because it's been 10 years it better be the greatest thing since sliced bread, then you're probably disappointed. However it's a good rebound album and I'm excited to see them support it next year.

Perhaps my disappointment is because I JUST bought this back catalog a few weeks back, so in listening to everything, The Great Divide doesn't hold up to the others.

Yup agreed it's solid, nowhere a masterpiece, but given the time between albums, it's mildly disappointing.
Ten years is a long time to come up with very strong material and it seems this album might be a stepping stone to the next one being a killer release?

But if you asked me to make a best of Enchant CD, how many songs from this album would I put on it?
One, and it would really be at a push.

Enchant has always been one of those bands for me that I can enjoy all of their albums but none of them really stick out as being better or worse than the others. 

I'm sure when I pick up the Great Divide that feeling won't change.
Is all that we see or seem, but a dream within a dream?

If your disappointment is such that you don't want it anymore, I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands for something you'd be more happy with.
