Had some similar thoughts recently, and to be honest I'm still catching up with Highest Gods. I feel they lost their way a bit with the over-orchestrated stuff on She Said - I know Stefan was really happy to be able to put some of those arrangements together but they lost some of the clarity that underpins the intensity you wrote about. As a result I wasn't so quick off the marks to get TTHGWK and like All it's taking it's time to work its way into my grooves.
I think Elektrohasch have been busy, and there was something about studio development and also I think some or all of them had kids recently...
Damn kids getting in the way of making music! Kidding. I'm a father. I totally agree with She Said, but that's mostly on disc 1...mainly the title track and "Transformation". For me, the album begins with "Breath". That and "Stand In" both give me chills. TTHGWK is a grower but I really dig it now...especially "Ueberall" and the title track. Thanks for the info...cheers!
