I agree with Axver - if these songs are anything like Arriving Somewhere, I say bring it on.
I've been on a total PT kick ever since I discovered this thread. I've bought no less than four albums in the last month - Deadwing, In Absentia, Stupid Dream, and Up The Downstair. Stupid Dream recently was reissued in the US, but you can imagine my surprise when I actually found it in my local music store. Sounds amazing.
I've listened to Lightbulb Sun, Recordings, and The Sky Moves Sideways as well via download. There are some strong songs on Lightbulb Sun, but overall I put it a notch below Stupid Dream. Recordings is interesting if only for the full version of Even Less, which is my favorite off of Stupid Dream.
In fact, Stupid Dream is probably the best of them all. I also think In Absentia is better than Deadwing; however, the best songs on Deadwing (Lazarus, Arriving Somewhere) are better than anything on In Absentia, so there you go.
I'm rambling now and probably make no sense whatsoever...
It's cool to discover a band and only have to wait a few months for a new album to come out.
