So you got it for Christmas? It's amazing, right? Vesuvius is gorgeous, but this is my favourite.
Now That I'm Older is amazingly expressive, too. The first time I heard it especially washed over me with a wall of melancholy that I haven't felt since I first heard Pet Sounds last year. In one song he achieved a similar emotional peak to the entirety of one of the best albums ever made.
Impossible Soul is something else completely, but I think I already posted that somewhere in this thread. Something about going through all 25 minutes of it makes that ending so much more powerful. The "Boy we can do much more together" section is ridiculously catchy and energetic you'll spend lots of time singing it in your head. That's the one thing that really stuck after my first few listens. I still can't quite grasp what it's about, but I think that's because I get distracted by the amazing music and stop listening to the lyrics.
