I'm hopeful that it might be at least pretty good because the group has finally had a chance to mesh on tour and play together a lot again. Even shit songs like Solara and Knights of Malta sound a lot better when re-imagined in a live setting. So it could be good, hopefully he just doesn't fuck it up in the studio, but I think with Iha contributing, the odds of that lessen a little. Even shiny had pretty good atmospherics and stuff, it's just that the songwriting sucked.
