Michael,
 I agree 100%. I have had this for about a month now, and while I 
realize the band claims the tracks that leaked were not final mixes
this sounds like it is going to be on killer of an album. 
 The last two left me scratching my head, though they had a couple 
songs I liked. But I like how "hail to the Thief" mixes the old with 
the new so well.
