 I love the whole album, too.  I haven't stopped listening to it.  If I don't listen to it at least twice a day, I am in the bad mood then.
I like every single song, and the sequence they are in.  There's only one thing I couln't help noticing though.  Today I got my Capricornia from Whammo, and (I do love Say Your Prayers) but without Say Your Prayers, the whole concept seems uninterrupted, and there's a smoother transition.  Also, the Australian CD seems of better sound quality.  I did listen to them side-by side.
Can anyone else pick up the difference, or is it just me?

In addition, I think that the 3-in-a-row finale of
"overpass", "world" and "poets" is a work of art. I
could listen to just those three songs on repeat.
