I've never really gotten into Anathema at all but a while back the trailer they posted for this new album sounded much more like an album I might enjoy. So, I streamed it and was pretty pleased - enough to make me want to buy a copy.
I was tempted to just get the blu-ray, but the box for $30us shipped was too good a deal to pass up - and if for some reason Amazon.de doesn't follow through (sez 2-4 weeks) I'll just get the blu-ray.
I have similar feelings as you. They have mostly bored me.....it's like I listen and I keep waiting for it to get interesting...but it never does. Though, I keep giving my money in hopes...
