This is an encouraging start to the THISNFS cycle for sure, but I would think giving some breathing room to the album before saying best since ...., or this is the best song of .... etc.

I very much agree with this. With WAN, I was having quite high hopes after the promo show in Stuttgart and was very disappointed with how the album sounded in the end.
With The Circle, I jumped the gun and called it instantly the best album since These Days, only to discover that it wore off very quickly after the first two weeks or so.
So this time, I'll hold judgement as to where to rank the album until it has settled a bit after its release.
