They have an instrumental opener, and an instrumental song. That has me interested.
Reminiscent of SFaM.
There's still a chance...

A short instrumental (or otherwise) opening track does not mean it has to be a concept album! But it can make for a great way to set the overall toooone for the album, and create a cohesive album experience, which I'd consider pretty important given the nature of the album so far.
