I listened to it from a completely unbiased perspective, and wasn't impressed with it from the first listen, repeat listens even now fail to impress me as much as their earlier recordings. They simply aren't pushing things forward as much as they have done previously as a group. I'd even go so far as to say its one of their weakest albums to date.
Go back nearly 8 years when they re-released "Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished" and "Danse Manatee" and you have a band at the top of their game, they followed up with these with the fantastic "Here Comes The Indian" and the more folk inflected "Campfire Songs" (albeit a side project). The last really interesting album they released was "Sung Tongs", after that its been reruns of what has come before!
