Funnily, I find the seven minute song, Where The Dead Live, to be the most arresting and 'transporting' song on the album - I'm not a religious man, mind you, but that chorus lifts me somewhere close to heaven.
The spoken-word track is a waste of time, sure, but it's not sufficiently off-putting for me to rank this album below #2 in my best of 2007 - under, er, In Rainbows; above Modest Mouse.
