Advantages: Not overlong at 10 tracks, gets better with each listen.
Disadvantages: Opening track not the strongest.

...All the best records take a few listens (at least) to reveal their true nature. On first play this sounded like a typical 2nd album - longer tracks, less up-tempo.

There is a strong orchestral sound and you feel that this album would sound stunning live if the keyboards were replace with an actual orchestra. The packaging for the limited edition is excellent. The case is in the form of a hardback book. The front and end leaf containing the album and a dvd respectively. The dvd has the video for the song Serpentine Offering, a "making of the video" documentary, a "making of the album" documentary and a photo gallery. The rest of the package is made up of a booklet with the story of the album, and the lyrics (which are printed backwards) and a mirror (to read the lyrics). Overall, it's a great album, the dvd is good... Read review
