So I've just listened to the whole album.
It's okay. Quite good. Imminently forgettable, though.
The production on Magnetic wasn't great, but overall I think that album is far superior to this one. Boxes is nice enough, but none of the songs grabbed me like some from Magnetic did. It's also pretty electronic throughout - Magnetic was far more guitar driven. Some of those little flourishes that I loved (mandolins etc.) have gone too. Boxes all just feels a bit by the numbers for me.
Hoping that with more listens I'll get into it a bit more.
