i agree with viddy for sure! notable songs that should be longer:

Beautiful burnout (another 4 or so minutes i could enjoy)
Holding the Moth (entire length of second CD)
To Heal (three times as long)
Best Magmu Ever (could have a few more minutes)

everything else i am happy with the length

[the real stuff]

Best Mamgu Ever could fill a disc, as far as I'm concerned

but the shortest track is Faxed Invitation ... It builds so perfectly and could continue into something truly epic, but just fades away.

I've grown to love Faxed Invitation anyway, and I think it's now my favorite track on the album.

For me, i'd most enjoy a longer "To heal", though we are supposedly possibly getting the version with Rick's dad speeking in thick Welsh accent on UWLive...let's hope.

A longer Faxed Invitation would be nice, as this track really gets into me. And agreed, the last track is lovely, but could have been epic. But really, no complaints...this is how the boys wanted it, and it's so far sounding to my ears like an integrated masterwork, certainly more so than AHDO. Somewhere approaching STITI in terms of feeling.

Just grabbed the album out of the mailbox and am on Holding the Moth. Quite different than what I was expecting. I love it.
