I was looking at buying the new Adema but the only thing I have heard on it is what I read out of Blender and they weren't impressed. Has anyone listened to it, and if so how does it compare to the first album?

I like it. I've given it two listens. A couple of softer songs are on the album. I haven't watched the DVD yet, but I think you should pick it up if you're an Adema fan.
