I have a certain degree of respect for their theme and how that played out, but it wan't quite what I wanted from them. Maybe it was a plot device, but it was musically pretty boring. I think they could have made each song a lot more memorable with some more embellishment, but they opted to keep things very subdued. It's not the fact that it's subdued that concerns me; I'd heard this and was expecting a darker, quieter, beautiful album from them--it's just not terribly intriguing or memorable throughout.

No real stand out tracks so far (I have 4 left to go/don't see it changing), pretty disappointed.
