My first impressions...
The songs definitely seem to collectively flow together better than the past two albums, maybe it's because all the old GOS material spread out over the last two albums changed the listening experience for me...
Album really picks up with Stars to When She Comes Down to Rock Away Blind. Very shimmery album. I do think he belts it better on the live version of Stars too, though. Don't Care for One Take really. Sounds like he's trying too hard to put a bad ass song on the album. I love the electric version of Seeds We Sow though! Interesting stuff going on in the background...Gone Too Far is prolly the most OOTC-eque of the songs, but the album as a whole does not remind me of OOTC...
