Good to see you back, sometimes when newbies disappear they're never heard from ever again.

In other words, there are album whose lyrics are great but the music is a bit pedestrian, or that lets it down, just as it can happen vice versa. So I guess what I'm asking is, were this an instrumental album, would you like it just as well/hate it as much?

Just so everyone's clear.
Will do.

I also think Sufficiently Breathless is as good as the debut.
