I think its a great album. Not as good as Stranger, but better than Undiscovered Soul. Although all 3 are strong albums for me personally.
I share the views about the production - whereas Stranger sounds so clear and crisp, AOTL is just so muffled in places, it does it a disservice at times. Seven Years Gone is superb, and You Can Only get so high lays everything bare.
The tour was great in 2012, the Shepherd's Bush show was a lot of fun and it's a shame it went downhill pretty much immediately that the show finished.
