So I just finished my second listen.
So far, I am absolutely loving this album. All the shorter songs are great (though I'm not the hugest fan of the The Who cover), and every individual part of the epic is too, I'm just not too sold on some of its transitions. It might improve on future listens, but either way, I'm extremely happy with this album. A big step up from This Mortal Coil, in my opinion - that one had a few really great songs like Noonday Devil or Dreams from the Pit, but also quite a few songs that I didn't like all that much (Perfect, Begin Again and Focus, mainly).
EDIT: Also, I should mention that I absolutely love the cover. Probably my favourite of their album arts.
