My pre-order limited edition version of The Reasoning’s new album has arrived. On first listen, this is a good one. But The Reasoning are hardly the sort of band that does ‘difficult second albums’.
Full review when I’ve given it a few more listens.

Hmm. Thanks for mentioning it, Tim – I didn’t know this was coming.
Having heard the Myspace sample medley, I’m not sure… I don’t hear anything that grabs me immediately (‘Awakenings’ did), nor any suggestion that they’ve gone further than the debut album – I wouldn’t just want more of the same.
But that’s merely a first impression, and I’m not ruling-out buying the retail edition. Not the pricey limited edition, though.

Definitely not “more of the same” - this is clearly a progression. Heavier and darker for starters, although I had an idea what to expect from having heard several songs live - they introduced a couple of songs into their live set more than a year ago.
I never bother to listen to sound clips; they never really give a feel for what the full song sounds like.
