I'm a little discouraged with this album. After 5 or 6 plays, I still can't see anything special about it at all. I expected to rate this highly after hearing all of their previous releases, but so far it seems distinctly ordinary. I enjoyed Tears of the Mandrake, Fallen Angels and Save Us Now, but the rest left me a little cold and dare I admit it, somewhat bored. Nailed to the Wheel was relatively tuneless, and there seems to be a fair amount of filler on the album. I'm open to increasing from a 2.5, but really not yet... :S
