Do you really want to risk not hearing the best new release for years?

From first track to last this is a fantastic album
I can't say this is a return to form as they have never been off form; I can say this is the strongest musical album and the lyrics are even more subtle than usual. Of course, you could ignore this and miss out, but then you'll never know just how good contemporary folk music can sound.
When the dull tedious history books (my least favourite subject at school - sorry) are long since forgotten and people wonder what was life really like in Britain during the early years of the 21st century this is the source that will tell them what they need to know.
(One of) the best album(s) since John Dowland laid down his early demos and was told that lute music was never going to catch on.
All the best, Guy
