I've been listening to this and I'm quite interested to read what other people think.

Is it as good as you were hoping?
Is it too long (which is to say that a double album stretches most people's attention span too much)?
Is there too much filler and do some tracks sound too similar?
What do people think about the vocals?

Keep this one shelved and up it when the albums available for wider appreciation.

That is unless anyone else has listened to it yet?

I'll say this much, it's certainly an attempt at a magnum opus - everything about is shouts BIG and AMBITIOUS.
