Ladytron: Velocifero = (Witching Hour + Light & Magic)/2.25?

I have been listening to Volocifero on and off for the past week or so and am somehow left a little underwhelmed. The typical Ladytron ingredients are there: it seems a nice melding of Witching Hour and Light and Magic... perhaps I have come to expect something a little more progressive - or at least evolutionary - from these guys an' girls. Yes, they have evolved their sound a little; denser and more layered production, slower and meatier beats... tho the lyrics are a let down at times. Hmmm, an attractive, technically accomplished performer going thru the motions?

Caveat: I have not heard it on a dynamic or direct-presenting system, for which this album may be voiced, so?.. I look forward to getting Velocifero on my DAP and listening thru my ESW6 'phones, which even made 'Third' appealing and involving earlier today!

Perhaps I had set my expectations unrealistically high. I am listening to it as I type and I am liking it more... have I become an overly critical listener (person)?

Will report back in a week or so.

Cheers
