While it has some real moments, and will doubtless be enlivened by TSO’s touring son et lumière, it isn’t The Christmas Attic or even Night Castle. The band’s formula probably still has legs and an exciting future but here, classical composers aside, their compositions and (brilliantly performed) arrangements do sound rather last century.

That last paragraph sums it up well. It isn't a terrible album, just not up to their past lofty standards. Oh well. Happens to a lot of acts, hard to recapture that early magic.
