    Anyone been listening to this, and is it a contender for Album of the year already or not?
    Probably will be for me, but Ive liked this band since first hearing Latchmere, and theyve had 2 great albums already. What I like about them is they have managed to avoid much filler which to be honest I cant say the same for a lot of the stuff i listen to.

    I think it's a superb album, unfortunately I think it's going to lose them some fans because it's quite different from the first two albums. It really sounds like they put a hell of a lot of work into the sound on this one. I don't really expect to hear a better opening sound to a song this year than 'Ayla'.

    Orlando's voice just seems to soar along on the tracks too. Really is a beautiful album.
