They're finally back. And True Love Waits and Present Tense have finally popped up on record.

Can anyone give me some advice on music quality? I want to buy this album through the official website instead of iTunes, but I'm not sure on the difference between MP 3 quality and the WAV qualities. I'd really like to know if the increased price is worth the quality improvements.

So excited to finally hear the studio versions of Identikit and Present Tense.

Went ahead and listened to the BBC Radio stream. I am a fan.

My favorite tracks first time through were Decks Dark, Identikit, and The Numbers.

My only real qualm was with Burn the Witch. I love it but it feels a little... Disconnected from the rest of the album. I don't know, but I think maybe just opening with Daydreaming would've been a better option. That's just me though.

I like the arrangements and production, but no particular melodies stand out for me, which I hope will change with more listens. I do like what they did with "True Love Waits" (none of the other live-only songs were things I'd heard before) for sure though. Oh, also "Burn The Witch" makes me think of "Airbag" for some reason.
