I enjoy it but still feel like it's a bummer the band are going through a bit of a weak spell when they do have access to Gavin and could make some great music.
Would rank their albums something like this from top to bottom:

Variations on a Dream
What We Have Sown
Little Man
Tightly Unwound
Someone Here is Missing
Dissolution
137
Your Wilderness
Magnolia
10 Stories Down
All the Wars
It Leads to This
Abducting the Unicorn
Versions of the Truth

I would say for me their best run is from 2004 to 2010. There's been some great albums since but some that aren't very memorable either. I don't think the bottom ones are bad, they're just in that "fine" category.

Took delivery of my Artbook yesterday, finally.

Listened to it four times so far. I really like it. It's growing on me.

I listened to the bonus CD now for the first time. It  has reworkings of most of the songs and man are they different. I might even like some of these versions more.

I feel like Gavin is a lot more prominent on these versions.

Anyone else heard them?
