I've listened to the album numerous times now, and my opinion really hasn't changed much on it, I like a lot of the stuff, but it's easily Chicane's worst effort.
Empires and Something Wrong are both great songs and SW could even be made floor worthy with a remix.
Many of the other vocals are average quality, I like Daylight, Locking Down is good; it's just that I expect more than 'good' from Chicane.
At this point I'm just intrigued to see what kinds of remixes will happen, and if Nick's next album (assuming there is a next one) follows this pattern, or if he goes in yet another direction.
Originally when I heard that the album was going to be less dancy I assumed he was doing an entire disc full of stuff ala 'In Praise of the Sun' and 'Arizona', aka: utterly chilled out beauty, but this poppy move was rather unexpected.
I don't respect him less as a producer, or clamour for the "good old days" like some do, but I certainly enjoyed his first two albums more.
