I really like it. I don't care that the growls and the metal period was neglected for this record, I think it really suits them. I don't think it's as good as Damnation but it's solid. I caught them on the tour for this record and, bar catching a part of their brief set at an open festival at roughly midday about 7 or 8 years ago, it was the first time I've seen them live. They played a fair bit of this record and clean tracks from their back catalogue and it was great, especially Credence which I wont forget for a long time.
Of course I'd like to see them again and see them play their heavier stuff but, just like this record, that can wait. I would be very surprised if their next record isn't heavy.
