I’ve been listening to it in the car. About half the songs are fairly forgettable, a few stand out a lot. I like “Permanent” a lot, which is about his brother.

What’s with track 12? It has several minutes of silence, then another song in the same track number. Is that a hidden bonus easter-eggy kind of thing?

I have not listened to Cook’s new album. As for Track 12, you are right. There are bonus/hidden tracks on many a CD.
