Agree with most of that, although I loved Blood Red Laughter straight away and still do!

From Within is definitely a grower. I knew from Facebook there was going to be a choir on it so I suppose I was sort of expecting a monster ballad to close the album so I was surprised that it was mid tempo, but I really like it now.

The point you've made about Bob's voice is absolutely bang on for me and you've nailed it better than any review I've read so far.
