I'd have to say the best track is the title track but There Is A Light is incredible too. The album in general is pretty damn good. Not as good as debut though IMO.

This is...fine. It's pretty slow in places and the lyrics walk a fine line between being clever and completely up their own ass but it's an okay album overall. I guess I kind of get why people lose their shit for it but it doesn't do much for me.
