BoLAug 25, 2005Not Great, not bad. Some songs really seem to fly you to other worlds (Please Stand Up, Be Gone). Others (To Go To Sleep, ...Find My Way Home) seem to stagnate in their own north sea water. This album reminds me too much of the way below average albums by The Soundtrack of Our Lives.

It’s a good record, and doesn’t try to recreate The Decline, but it doesn’t manage to capture its energy, fear and grandeur.

The first few songs are so jaw-slackeningly great, it can take days to get to the album's highlight, the epic eight-minute medley of "Please Stand Up" and "North Hanging Rock."

It's a triumphant lesson in sweeping gracefully towards the mainstream with your imagination and mystery intact.
