If I'm wholly honest, I'd have to say I'm less than impressed. I just bought it (NOT cheap) and it's not much of a progression.

If you liked the first album, then you probably will like this. If you liked the second, then this is not going to satisfy. The production and songwriting is a lot less self-indulgent and the recording is a lot clearer. However, it is a rather unfocussed album and I am not that happy about the fact that it is the 2nd re-hash of the first album. Dammit, when are they going to move on from the promising start they made?

I am going to listen to it over the next few days but first impressions are really not that good

Now if you want to talk about the latest Blur or Lightning Seeds, that's a different matter. Better still, go out IMMEDIATELY and buy the new Peter Gabriel ("Up") which is pure inspiration.
