"Foxhole" - a very Pink Floyd/Roger Waters word.

Clearly inspired by the end of Long Long Long.

It is over.
It was very dull.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

Well, I personally think that that's a very lovely and quietly spirited triumph.
Not an epic by most accounts, but proof that Midlake are a band that, despite their hipster trappings, are a throwback to a finer, more noble age of music-making.
It lacks the lyrical and baroque esotericism of the Tim Smith era of course, but it's an immersive and warmly melancholic experience created by a group of musicians who'd been effectively abandoned by the guy that did all of their thinking for them (and, barring a guest song here or there on other people's albums, who hasn't done a thing in the last 8+ years).
