    With you guys on this one, a really good album.....a return to form I feel, although I do hate that phrase.....

    I really like the first half of the album, but find the second half all a bit samey :o (sorry!) maybe I need to give it more time?

    The second half is a real slow-burner... give it a lot of time, you'll start to realise the variety.

    It's funny because on first listen it was the first disc that grabbed my attention, but after a few listens I think I prefer the second one. I'm currently in love with Washington Square.

    Yeah second half, I downloaded it and put it on two discs - I think that is how they originally intended it.

    Funny you should mention that... I seem to remember reading that.

    Yeah I think it kind of works better that way, a bit like Ben Harper's Both Sides Of The Gun. I think there's no reason why a double cd can't work, I think the key to it is to focus on quality not quantity (listen up Chili Peppers!).
