It has a lot of tracks listed- almost half- that aren't actual tracks but brief interludes. It comes out to be more like a little over half of an actual album. Its a far reach from Peaceful, the world lays me down. It's good, just misleading.

I heard this first at [...]. I cannot hope to review it as poetically as the reviewer there did, but I'll give it a shot.
This album is a soundtrack to heartache. The soaring strings soar upward in hope then at the peak become tinged with sadness and chords that border on chaos before resolving again. It must be listened to in its entirety, from start to finish. It tells a tale of breakup and all the phases of grief, denial and finally acceptance that go with it. The vocals are unabashed and sometimes feel flat against the lush and rich backdrop of the music, but the rawness somehow make the songs feel more genuine.
If you can admit that you sometimes like to indulge and wallow in your grief, there are few albums which indulge that feeling better.

This album is just as good as Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down, with many songs that in my opinion are extremely underrated. The melodies and sounds in this album are much more subtle and easy-to-listen-to than in most Noah and the Whale albums, but the other albums are excellent, too. My two favorite songs from this album are The First Days of Spring and My Door is Always Open.

I heard about Noah and the Whale from a friend of mine, and so I checked them out. I absolutely love this whole album, but my favorite song from it is "Love of an Orchestra." The sound of an orchestra warming up and tuning leads up to the song. Sad songs and happy songs mix to leave the listener longing for those first days of spring - with their big puffy clouds, warm air, and no worries.

My girlfriend of 4 years recently broke up with me and this album really strikes a chord. A lot of chords really. I don't remember the last time I cried listening to a song, let alone half of an entire album.
The lyrics are deceptively simple and the orchestra takes you by surprise, but it is properly moving.
"If I'm still here hoping that one day, you may come back." Damn you, Noah & The Whale.
