Glad to hear they did put some time to the songs. Recording ~40 songs may result in lots of "unfinished" or "underproduced" stuff, but here it doesn't feel like it at all. The title track, Radio City and Drowned Submariner are good examples I think.

I avoided the snippets, so today I've had two proper listens - I must say I was initially skeptical, didn't want to get my hopes too high, but I love half the songs instantly (in a mellow relaxed way) and another quarter I like!

The many standard blues beats left me cold at first. But as I sit here listening to Today Is Okay, I think they will define the feel and sound of the CD. Overall it's quite thematic and nothing stands out as too jarring or out of place.

This is my first post after finding the forum

Overall great album. Prefer disc 1 to disc 2.

Yon two crows is for me the standout track on the album. Love the melody/feel, build up, metpahor lyris between crows and trying to make a hard living. Instrument interludes also sound incredible. One of the best MK songs in recent times imho.

Most of the other tracks on disc 1 are excellent.

The snippets didn't promise too much. The album is quite fantastic.

My absolute favourite is "Dream Of The Drowned Submariner". First, when I heard the snippets, I was quite excited about all those new, beautiful songs. When it came to DOTDS I felt like I was electrified. I stopped from one second to the other in my motion and didn't move for seconds. It was like a little shock.

Now I'm listening to the full version. Can't describe it; it is like kind of being hypnotised of that song.

This album is just sooooooo stunning!!! OMG! Mark is totally on fire on pretty much every track..... the Blues stuff is amazing too... lol  I can't wait for the tour now!

On fire? We must have a different definition of "on fire".

I've listened to the album a few times, and I'm already bored.

Sorry.

Felt exactly the same! As I said yesterday, I purchased a copy from a Brazilian online store but it won't arrive til Sep 13 so yes, I downloaded it... Since I couldn't listen to it at work I burnt a copy and had my first listen during my ride back home. I got mesmerised. Didn't even care about the traffic jam that held me up for 2 (!!!) hours. No skippers. Lots of favorites, Dream of the Drowned Submariner is one of the most beautiful things ever written imho.
