I liked the album at first, didn't love it, but after seeing it live I have to agree. It is very much a live album and has a lot of personality that doesn't come out in a non-live setting.
I think the production on the album doesn't do it any favors. Feels really flat, guitars lack any significant punch, etc. I think I'd like it overall a lot more if it were produced differently, so I'm not surprised to hear it translates better live.
