I love fold your hands child and I love The Life Pursuit.
But this one really disappointed me. It's so... Poppy. It has seem to lose it's originality.
Haven't even finished it. Started zapping after a few tracks. Pity

It could have been a lot better but it's still a good album.

I agree that the first four songs are as good as anything B&S has ever recorded but the rest of the album has mixed results. But I've never been enthralled with every single song on any B&S album. I like this album because it has less of the twee adolescent angst going on, which is probably a good thing because most of the band members are pushing the age of 40 by now.
