I really enjoy the second album. Yes, it is basically a variation of the first album, a slightly different approach to the same concept, I just tend to like the songs on Commune more.

I listened to World Music and Requiem back-to-back today. I have to say, it is hard to beat the high-concept and execution of World Music. Things really came together there. However, I'm finding Requiem thoroughly enjoyable, and rewarding multiple listens, more as a journey than for any particular song, kind of like an Agitation Free album in that respect.
