I won't be driven to comparing this record to the last one. I don't it's fair to say that the latest record is worse or better than "Divine Infection". It's a bit different. Sure, it's a useless argument, as a new record is meant to surpass its predecessor, but that's...

What is the value of freezing on the verge of understanding and ignorance? When I hear something that can't be uttered with words, it can produce that feeling.
