Really good idea for a feature and of course it’s welcoming to see the xx on the right end of a score switch.

I can see how people find it samey but the differences between the songs are enough (for me anyway) to distinguish each song. I love the lyrics (who knows why?) and i find the overall thing an very enjoyable album that i can play straight through over and over.

I gave the album a go once, found it to be a bit samey, lacking in energy, nothing aside from the cool train whistling in the background of Crystalised and the damn intro pulled me. A month or so later i got damned sick of running into people who thought the xx were the second coming and gave it an unusually thoughtful few listens. Then I enjoyed it, minimal, but not simple, with an effortless air that for once actually feels effortless. I probably like the xx remix of florence and the machine better than any of the album tracks, but the album is great to listen to as an album. As far as debut LPs go, it's damn better than girls. I like this column though, second chances are always good. To be fair I think it was the hype that saved the xx.
