I'm with you there Robin. I'm ambivalent about the earlier releases but 
this one is a thing of wonder. Beautifully written and constructed and 
how many artists these days can sustain a triple album with no filler? 
Also to my ears the screechy warblings have been replaced by a much more 
mature and softer vocal style - reminds me of early Kate Bush a bit. 
With this one and The Knife's Darwin 'opera' (Tomorrow in a Day) its 
good to see heavyweight albums of substance can still be made.

Have only listened a couple of times but Nels Cline new one is also 
sounding mighty fine. Can be streamed here for anyone who is interested:
