Many listen-through in, the album is aging much better than Astonishing did. It's remarkably easy to listen, despite the complexity of the music.
On a secondary not, today I received my box set, and I'd like to remark on the quality of the videos, especially At Wit's End, Out of Reach and most significantly Pale Blue Dot. A definite step up from previous DT animated video (think Forsaken), but in my opinion also on the more traditional band-driven videos such as On The Backs of Angels and The Enemy Inside.
