Much melody flow, too little highlights ...

I can just go through the album for the fourth time and now feel able to submit a responsive review. First of all: I'm almost in the soul hurt at this point "only" to give four stars; Whereas I have not, like so many others, the predecessor so to their hearts have managed it like few albums of recent years. But more than four are the best will not in it, I would, there would be the possibility of also awarded four and a half no. Why? Well, that is, as indicated in the title of the review, simply because it gives me too little "real" highlights that. This almost religious feeling of love, grandeur, melancholy and I do not know what else kindle in me "An awesome wave" had a small capsule of this cocktail hidden in almost every song, whereas I have to say that on "This is all yours" one or the other title, in spite of an average length of about 4 minutes + x, slightly hazy comes along. This refers in particular to the last portion of the disc, which to "Leaving Nara" includes "Pusher". Here I have the impression that the album-closing just not around. "Taro" leaves from the previous one simply happier, happier back. The supposed "Breeze Block" reflect each other exactly, "Left Hand Free", I can not abgewinnen too much even after repeated listening. Not a bad track, but somehow he does not quite classify in my Hörfluss. Overall, everything is a bit too little balanced, coordinated enough aufeiander. For me especially convincing of late middle part of 'Choice Kingdom "to" The Gospel of John Hurt "is all pure bliss. Here the strengths of the band in my opinion come to their best advantage, even in lyrical terms.
I think this album for a worthy, but discreetly weaker successor who keeps what is most promised by him, but also potential for improvement can. A pleasure it is all times :) But just listen to yourself, it is worth ...
