How is the Robyn Hitchcock? Is it as good as Frosting's gushing claims?

I don't remember what Frosting said about it but as a general rule nothing is ever as good as Frosting says.

I like it though and it will probably be somewhere in the 10-25 range on my year-end rankings (and I think this is the deepest year for at least 3-4 years). I've only listened to it once so take this with a big grain of salt. It's got a bit of the feel of "Element of Light" in terms of style and variety, but its not as good. I'd put it more in the "Globe of Frogs"/"Perspex Island" quality range, but that still makes it the most interesting RH album in years to my ears.

I also saw them live a few weeks ago for the first time since the Globe of Frogs tour and thoroughly enjoyed the show which included material from Element of Light and the Soft Boys in addition to the new album.
