Doesn't this album pop up every second page or so...Might as well re-discuss Veckatimest while we're at it.

+ Probably best to just search the thread for previous discussion(s) on it.

It's an internet pet peeve of mine when that happens "Yeah that topic was discussed way back." "Yeah we're on page 1122 now.."

But in their defence that album does come up shit loads.

And I like it as well, it isn't instantly catchy, a couple of songs stand out and then you just sink into it.. I think you just have to keep with it, unless you don't have the patience for it and you don't think it's worth it, then I fear it's just one of them things.

I'm not really into vocals so I don't think I'm meant to like it. It is even slower than OK Computer and the instrumentation does nothing for me. It's like I can have it playing in my ears but not even notice it...

The vocals aren't necessarily good, just the unconventional structures of the songs combined with pop elements.. First listen I was like meh. Apart from 3 songs, then I just started to appreciate it as a piece of work. I found it a bit dull at first, until I started finding tracks I liked. Are there no tracks where you think that's a good song?

Well, there is a "search this thread" function

...but that doesn't really help when most people don't post text to accompany images.

Been on this forum for about a year, never new that tool was available.

Those were the first songs I quite liked, but I saw nothing else in the album that I liked for a while, my advice is just stick with it and listen every now and again unless you really don't think it's your cup of tea, then just save yourself the time and effort and just put this album in the dislike pile.
