I tried hard and gave the new CD many spins. Still it's somehow not my cup of tea :( I can't connect to the sound(mix) and also to most of the song structures...anyway it's just my humble opinion, I give "the westpole" 5/10...not more, nor less :roll:

Yeah that's what happened to me, and just when I thought it was finally clicking with me, I ended up not going back to it at all and now it's just a dust collector on my shelf. Perhaps I'll go back to it at some later time, but right now my opinion is that about half of it is decent and the other half pretty much entirely forgettable.

After several listens, I have to settle with:
1.-When trust becomes sound 8/10
2.-Treasure 9/10
3.-All you are 9/10
4.-The west pole 8/10
5.-No bird call 7/10
6.-Capital of nowhere 8/10 (I agree with The Unknown, I would have prefered if Silje had also sang on this one)
7.-You promised me a symphony 7/10
8.-Pale traces 10/10
9.-No one spoke 9/10
10.-A constant run 10/10

Miniature - 8/10
Pale traces - alt version - 9/10
City from above: 5/10 (I also agree on this one... I mean, the song lasts almost 13 minutes, but it seems it only consists of 4 minutes of music and 9 minutes of silence)

My assessment, divided a bit differently:

Great:
1. When Trust Becomes A Sound
2. Treasure
6. Capital Of Nowhere
10. A Constant Run

Good:
3. All You Are
5. No Bird Call
7. You Promised Me A Symphony
9. No One Spoke

Average: (aka "meh.")
4. The West Pole

Bad: (aka "blurgh!")
8. Pale Traces

Apparently I'm the minority that doesn't like Pale Traces... the way this song wallows in its mawkish sentimentality sickens me. When I first listened to this song (half wondering how long this cliché-ridden disaster was going to go on) I nearly broke out in laughter when the strings where introduced. Seriously, 10/10, people?!

I posted my review thereabouts... but if I have to rate, the average would be 5/10 for the entire album

considering my rating about two previous albums, this one is not bad at all... :)
