We Carry On is probably my fave at the mo, the beat and guitars are so sinister and brilliant. Machine Gun is abrasive but rewarding and i love the opener Silence as well (the silence at the end is annoying though).
Overall, not as easy as Dummy but i predict a few more listens will result in me liking it more. Pretty damn good.
Although nowhere near as good as Mezzanine, I thought exactly the same upon listening. It does get better with each listen but it is not an album that you can just throw on. you have to be in the mood for it.
