Has anyone heard this yet? I've really enjoyed everything he's released since the late-90s and I'm hoping this continues his trend of quality albums, but it's only available from Amazon UK right now. Wondering if it's worth the price and the interminable wait for overseas shipping.

Mine is in transit from the UK; should have in a week. Will post once it arrives.

Arrived today. Just finished listening to it and the new Graham Gouldman disc from the same package. The Kershaw disc is in line with the past couple of new studio discs, Rich. Clever lyrics for the most part. Can't say I care much for the single in album or single incarnation, but the opening track is killer. Sounds like something from the Human Racing/Riddle era.
