NOAH & THE WHALE "heart of nowhere"

this one has been out around four weeks now...
i bought it upon release...
and as our usual 'new release' listening site is not working right now
i thought it best if i post it here rather than the usual 'what are you
listening to" threads...
fourth album by these english alt folk guys...
i have their last release "last night on earth", which i like a lot...
anyway, lots of alt folky material on here, not dissimilar to the previous release...
this one has already peaked in the UK charts at #13 and only one single
thus-so-far to be released out there..."thee will come a time" which stalled
on the charts at a paltry #168 for some reason...
i actually hear bits of Arcade Fire through some of these tracks...
i have had the opportunity to have listened to this several times on my car
cd player and the score will reflect that...
overall, one track i do not like...the stupid intro instrumental which,IMO, does
nothing for the track that follows it, two tracks i love on here in "lifetime"
and "silver and gold", the other seven are pretty good, which gives this one
a reasonably good score of 2.1...
