Another fantastic album, the last three have all been phenomenal quality and their consistency is amazing considering its all from the same songwriter.
Faves on the new album are All The Dreamers (works as an album opener for me although I do agree Dance Of The Black Tattoo would have been a storming start), Blood Red Laughter, So Let It Rain (this has really grown on me), the simply amazing Putting Things In Place and See How They Fall.
I haven't yet made up mind whether its better than The Visitation, which I absolutely loved. Only part of the new album I'm still struggling with a bit is the chorus of Didn't Like You Anyway - I think its because I like the verse so much I needed an enormous chorus to follow it and it falls a tiny bit short for me.

It passes the time for a moment but what happens now?"
