Now that I've listened to the album several times, I can definitely say I'm disappointed. The first half is pretty dull and unimaginative, but the second half is better. It's like melancholy, sinister country, which isn't a bad thing. My favourite tracks are Take Take Take, Little Ghost, The Denial Twist, and Instinct Blues.
As I expected, I'm apparently one of the very few who absolutely loves Blue Orchid -- mainly because it reminds me of one of my very very favourite albums, Midnite Vultures, by Beck. Which was very poorly received. The rest of the album isn't like Blue Orchid at all, so if you hate that song, don't expect to hate the rest.
