"Words on a Page" is dull for the most part. The climactic slide guitar solo belongs in a better song.
"From the Turn of a Card"... it's interesting how Benoît David in his lower register sounds like Chris Squire. Not much more to say here.
Aaaand here comes the big one. "The Gift of Love" is a sprawling ballad in the vein of "Brother of Mine". It's a bit harder to get into than that one, and I'm not sure it's worth the effort. I really like the piano towards the end, though.
By the way, it's hilarious how many elements "The Game" (by far the best song on Heaven & Earth) recycles from "The Gift of Love"! Though, I think "The Game" might actually be the more successful track due to making better use of the material.
I note that Heaven & Earth has been quietly dropped from Spotify...
