I don't quite understand the maths

Individulally the tracks rate mainly 7 amd 8 out of 10 which gives an overall rating of 6 out of 10! I will have to wait till I hear it I guess then maybe everything will become clear. I suppose sometimes the whole can be less than the sum of the parts!

Maybe the tracks stand out well enough on their own, but not as a whole?

7+8 equals 15. The sum of digits in 15 equals 6, hence Andy's rating?

I cant think of one album by any artist where I like the tracks but then taken together, reduces my enjoyment of them.

Everything has become clear now

I might think its the best album ever and award it 1 out of 10!

Its a decent album, not blown me away like some of the other stuff released over the past couple of years, I do like some of the dark undertones on the album though and as usual I would rather listen to it a few more times before giving a final verdict.

It ain't about maths, never has been, and never will be...it's about the ****ing music!

ratings are only a bit of fun...it's opinion...at VERY BEST! Agree or don't agree...buy the album and make your own mind up...it's the only way

Because of the Tennis I had to listen on Phones ..first spin I wasn't that taken by almost all of it. I don't think the first five tracks are better than the rest. I like the reworking of Crawler Lane but maybe thats because it's one of Edgars best solo tracks. Of course tomorrow I'll give it another few spins.

Only played it once so far and as it was totally different to what I had been expecting based on comments by Bianca etc it threw me a bit and therefore took my view of the finished article away. I will need to listen to this several times I think as I feel it may well be a grower. Tracks 1 & 4 stood out for me. I think I was expecting more of a science fiction/spacey feel to it and that's why I now have to look at it differently. Based on first listen I give it 5/10 but I am sure that will change over the next few plays.
