I feel that's an album that has interesting moments but never quite gels, thanks to unsympathetic production and patchy song quality.
Talk More Talk, Footprints , most of
Only Love Remains and
Move Over Busker are good songs.
Pretty Little Head isn't a good song but it's an intriguing concoction whose single mix is far more effective.
Angry and
Press don't work at all, as either songs or performances.
The rest of the album is so-so.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it.

VIDEO It's only 25 minutes. Isn't that a bit short for an album?
