Decent. Not sure this is an auto-buy. Anyone else notice their choruses all sound similar?

I must admit to enjoying BBT. They are a fine band although not the second coming that many believe. I hope the album is an improvement on Grand Tour which I thought lacked originality.
Day one purchase however due to earlier works which have been excellent.

I got the English Electric (full power version) albums, and I really loved them. However, I got the few next ones (as well as The Underfall Yard), and I must say I found them lacking of a certain spark that made the English Electric ones so special... they got all the elements all right, but somehow I didn't enjoy the melodies so much. So I'm not really sure how much I might enjoy a new one... I guess I should give it a chance anyway.

Yep looking forward to this.

you need to 'live' with a BBT album for at least a few years before being able to understand and know whether you like it. I was very unsure about Folklore when it came out but now it's a 'desert island' album for me . Grand Tour is slowly growing on me so I don't expect this to hit me straight away. 
btw should be noted that the band line up has changed although the main axis of Dave Longdon, Rickard Sjoblom , Nick D'Virgillio and Gregory Spawton is still very much intact thankfully.

Three years is a long time to convince yourself you like something.

Ok then. Let me phrase it differently. You should commit at least three years to understand if you like a BBT release. Better?

I just started listening to them a little while ago. Yesterday was my second spin of The Underfall Yard. Sorry to be argumentative, but it was love at first listen for me

I slept on this band for a long time. Thankful I finally gave them a chance! Interested to find out how this new album turns out.
May God bless you all in Jesus' name. No matter who you are, you're special, you're loved, and you matter.
