The build-up at the beginning of the ident is a bit dull but after the build-up is better. The only problem is that that is around the time when the announcer, well, announces so you cannot fully experience the music in its majesty.
The music for Love 2013 was a little quirky but much more interesting than the Love 2014 soundtrack.

It looks like they lasted until 28th January last year so a while to go yet:

I know I've mentioned the music already, but the more I hear it the more I hate it. It's just so monotonous and quite depressing. It only sounds slightly interesting when they turn it down to speak. Hope it doesn't last as long as the 2013 version seemed to.

The issue with using this sort of arrangement as ident music is that it kind of runs counter to the continuity.
Anything that is intended to be heard should really be in the first few seconds before the anno, then leave enough room for the announcer to speak over the remainder... Whereas, this starts quietly and then, usually around the point of the anno it suddenly goes full-on at the same time as being dipped down - not great... The result doesn't often work well on-air. If the track were not dipped for the anno, I reckon it would sound like it's competing for room rather than allowing for it.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but the Love 2014 ident has an accompanying sting between trailers.
There's a second one too - a dark one like last year's...

There's also a third Love 2014 sting, which, unlike the other two darker-toned stings, makes use of the familiar predominantly plain red background as used in the main ident.

The Darker red is a better string.

I've not - as yet - seen a second dark sting, but there were three dark ones last year: Love 2013, Love Drama and Love Mondays. So maybe in time...
