    Beyond stoked for brand new XX, but this is pretty below average for them.

    This was pretty generic. I'm hoping for more darker songs on the album.

    Interesting, I know Jamie produces all of their music but this sound is much closer to his solo album. I'm here for it.

    I thought this was a fantastic song and got me way more excited than I thought I'd be

    Besides that weird sample on the background by the chorus I enjoyed it. Hoping for some more stripped down songs though, seemed too layered for an Xx song.

    Coexist let me down but I like this better. not sure how much better but it's something.
    Self titled is one of my favourite albums from the past decade.

    I think I'm the only one who digs the Hall & Oates sampled part.
