It's a good album, albeit a little bland for my tastes.

Great album, and on heavy rotation at work; at least in my lab.
What caught my attention was the overtly political tone of some of the tracks, particularly Right Right Now Now and Time to Build. Not surprising, following the In A World Gone Mad single, and since its politics I share, I found it pleasantly surprising.
That being said, Oh Word? is my favorite track.
Sure they're getting older, and the tone of the album is a bit of a throwback, but I appreciate it all the same. Probably because I'm getting older as well. To the 5 Buroughs fits comfortably in the number two spot behind Paul's Boutique for me; we'll see how I feel a few months from now. It is good to have some new stuff from them in any case.
