Decent tune, was hoping it shifted gears a bit and broke away into something special but instead it stayed rather "samey" throughout. I have generally enjoyed this band over the years so I'll keep an ear out for this one.
 
I'm in agreement with the other poster who said it sounded "samey" at times ......... I was hoping that this disc would break them out and get them really noticed. Something about the "samey" thing, and something about the way the vocal melodies don't always marry up to the music just threw me off and made me give up. I love the music and the vocals - I just can't marry them for some reason.
 
Yeah, you can hear them sort of revert back to the The Pathway at times, which I don't mind because I still think that first album was amazing. I'm not really blown away by this one, but it's a good listen from time to time.
