I like the composition, but it just seems like a backing track that Mike occasionally jamms over with guitar.(Very well i might add)

Well, it does have a lot of nice guitar in it. There is some very nice other instruments in it as well. Excelent album all round.

I'd not say it was like that for me, really...I think the parts tend to gel together quite well.

Thing is, of course, is that when the musician plays a guitar solo (or any solo...), he/she basically is playing over a backing track, if using the same kind of recording methods as Mike does. It can be quite hard for some people to get a real 'live' feel when sat in the studio recording parts alone.
