I like this quite a bit. Definitely have to treat it as a single musical unit instead of a collection of songs, but it's really good. Lots of great recurring themes ("Fin-ally... there's a... door-way... to sal-vation...").
Absolutely. I mean, if you take songs on their own, they're quite great too... but the album really shines when taken as a whole. After four years, it's still fresh and amazing.
New FW is out?
Just checked the Release Date Calendar and the release date is July 1st, so nope.
