In some cases, there seem to be not just sections but almost movements, The Riff being the best example so far. But really: Gaucho, Mercy, If Only, and now The Riff...there's substance, not just filler solos and tacked-on solo sections.

Gah.
Agreed, this album feels like it will have a great flow to it. Hopefully like Before These Crowded Streets where one song's intros and outros blended with the next. Should set up to be a great album.
