Upon initial listening to the album I thought it was great. Listening to it again and again I just have to say it's brilliant. I had no expectations going into the album, just to expect the unexpected I guess. Killed By an Angel gets the cd moving along fine then from there it's a rollercoaster of up and downs. I guess just the fact that some of the songs sound like nothing I would have expected from SDRE just make it all more enjoyable. All the songs are filled with textures and it's just incredible. They've come a long way since 94. To me it seems like they have had a beatlesque musical progression. I think they are one record from releasing their Ok Computer or Joshua Tree or Sgt Peppers. I don't like the new cd just because it's SDRE, I like it because it's one of the best cd's I have heard in 2 years.
