I heard this earlier today. So sick. While it'll be hard to follow up their impressive debut, I have no doubt that they'll be able to.
really looking forward to this. Recently seen them Live in Poland at a Festival were theyve played Angels live. Really Impressive.
[video=youtube_share;DD7IwXWfDW4]http://youtu.be/DD7IwXWfDW4[/video] It's not bad, but it's not necessarily anything groundbreaking for them.
Love love love this album. Builds on the sound from their first album in subtle but significant ways. I especially like all of the layering of sounds in songs like Reunion. Likely to be my AOTY.
If you're going into a The xx album expecting exciting, you're going to be disappointed. Just saying.
Wow. I just heard of this band, and I must say, it's just awesome music. I love the bare sound they have, kind of like John Mayer with a bit of electronics.
Just listened to it. I feel like it's a complete rehash and honestly, not even as interesting as the first album. I am very disappointed. I'll give it a few more spins though.
^ When the original was such great stuff, I don't mind that it doesn't sound significantly different. Calling it a rehash is definitely inaccurate though; give it a few more spins and you'll hear a lot of new sounds. I especially like the grooves on Tides/Reunion, etc.
So, you can do it right now Dementia: Listen to the Whole CD here, here: http://www.npr.org/2012/09/03/160323435/first-listen-the-xx-coexist#playlist
