I like it after a couple of listens, and like the new direction. A good album, but I still prefer Ágætis Byrjun & () which both blew me away on first listen.
Yes, I think its very good, very close to ( ) in both sound and spirit, which is a positive thing.....Whilst I don't think they have ever done anything poor, their last record got a bit too close to the mainstream for me - They were almost trying to out-Coldplay Coldplay, which was not a good idea.
It will be interesting to see where they go from here though....
