I find myself going back to the debut a lot. Second one is ok, but I hardly go back to it.
Pretty sure the guys will deliver another quality album, but indeed some more changes in pacing of the songs/style would be a good idea. As much as I love the first album, I often think "hmm, didn't I just hear this same song? Mainly because the intro's are sometimes a bit similar.
But regardless this is a high quality group, which still stay around for a long while, so plenty of new music to look forward to.
