Imperial just came through the letterbox. Have just had one listen all the way through and left feeling very indifferent and disappointed, really. Can't help feeling "is this it?" and am pining for Fall Heads Roll style heavy duty music quality. I think this is the day I realise it might just be time to give up buying new Fall albums. :(

Anyone else had a listen yet?

Personally, I'm relieved it's not what you're describing there. I had my first listen a while back (of the leaked MP3s - will buy cd this week). I agree with a lot of the "best in years" descriptions, in fact, I like it better than country on the click. Sorry you're not happy with it. :mellow:
