Very subtle, "quiet" album. Needs to be listened to without distractions.

I find myself skipping Numbers cuz it doesn't quite fit.  I love Numbers, but 
I wanna hear Undo and Oxydental right after it.

The Awful Ache just about makes me cry. But that 3/4 time middle eight is 
like being pulled out of a nice warm jacuzzi and being forced to sit in the 
cold air before being allowd to immerse oneself again. I guess that might be 
a good thing, makes one appreciate the warmth that much more ? ~ whatever. I 
still think the space would have been better spent with, lets say, one of 
PK's beautiful guitar solos? Or even piano, but something pretty. 

I think someone overdid it with the "voices", especially on Seen It Coming. I 
LOVE the monitor mix of this song and IMO its the guitars at the end that 
really make it, but on the album version they're drowned out and all I hear 
is this damn chorus. I could also do without the "yeah yeah yeah's" etc, in 
Song for the Asking.

I think Chromium should be the next single.

I LOVE that scratchy-string thing in Invisible. In fact I love everything 
about this song. Definitely the hilight of the album for me. (is 
"radiotronics" that weird thing I hear that sounds like a little bit of fuzzy 
guitar - only cuts off abruptly - over and over again?)

The music is so exquisite, it makes me crave more instrumentals from this 
band.
