I have to say upon the first few listens of WIM...I'm not entirely impressed. The album (IMHO) is a bit of a let-down after a 4+ year wait from Utopia Parkway. There are certainly stand out tracks ("Little Red Light" and "No Better Place")...but as a whole the album doesn't seem as strong in the songwriting department as their first two. BUT...they get points for theme consistency by revisitng the lyrics about the office worker with a drinking problem...and of course, FOW is better than most drivel being put by the majors these days. If only the kids would get it...
