Query: a step backwards

Mediocre and pedestrian follow-up to superb first album. Kind of like the ultimate let-down second date after a picture perfect first meeting. I kept waiting for the magic to come back in but was disappointed on all tracks but the "extra" one lurking at the back of the CD (which by the way is getting to be a bit of a tiresome practice in and of itself). Admittedly it would always have been hard to follow up their first release, but couldn't they have made more of an effort at it?
