I've been through "Take my head" and "You all look the same to me" for now. The improvement is really obvious. I liked two tracks of "Take my Head", one of them is in the compilation. The other is "You make me feel" which is not as good as the title track.

About the other album, I loved almost every track in it. "Again" is truly epic, other really good tracks are "Finding it so Hard" and "Fool" (which is also on the comp). I think one of the setbacks would be "Now and Then", which really shows the lack of lyric originality their somehow corniness. Fortunately, that track is only 1:25, in contrast to their epic tracks of 15 minutes.

I still have many Archive albums to listen to.
Anyway, thanks for the review, very helpful.
Again is truly sublime and quite frankly a masterpiece in my eyes. Noise is an album that needs to be checked out for sure.
