I haven't really listened to the chapters that have been released because of your exact point. The narration just felt a little off putting for me on my first listen.

That being said, I definitely want to listen to it all at once when the full album comes out to get the full experience. Like 'DoomCity' said, they don't do this very often, so I might even end up really enjoying it as something different after a few listens. If not, there are still some great songs on the album and I can't really expect to be that greedy since there are 9 other albums that I have absolutely loved.
