After listening to it for a while now, In Excelsis kinda gets in your brain.
It's good to walk a dog you don't particularly like over fields on a balmy summer evening to.
It reminds me of - I can't think of (or more likely don't know) the correct term - something akin to a requiem in the way it flows.
I still think Endgame has a huge chorus. Live I can imagine them all being great 'bouncers'
All in all, I like it all.
It's like they've taken the best elements of killing joke over the years, put it in a magic pepper-pot & liberally sprinkled it all over everything.
