February 12, 201114 yr Author It's got better with every listen, and now I can't stop playing it. "I Never Learnt To Share" and "To Care (Like You)" are just incredible. Looks like it might even sneak a week in the top 10, which would be amazing.
February 12, 201114 yr Even with the Sound Of 2011 placing, this making the top 10 would be a real achievement. It would definitely be the most successful leftfield album in quite a while.
February 12, 201114 yr I still haven't decided whether James Blake is the most important artist of our generation, or a Chris Morris-esque satire of the pretentiousness of indie scenesters and the music they follow.

May 24, 201114 yr 'Lindisfarne' video: It's like an old-school Skins episode. Love. 'Lindisfarne' (parts I and II) are the best songs on the album, glad there's this new edit combining them. So damn good. Edited May 24, 201114 yr by Cremey
June 2, 201114 yr Someone recently told me to check him out.

Even if the comparison was to say it's a better take on similar musical concepts (sparsity, etc)

So damn good. The spit swallowing part almost made me puke. Good i didn't eat anything before watching that. Otherwise AMAZING video.
