James Blake continues his downward slide.

Not only among the most sonically adventurous LPs I've heard this year but an exercise in hollow emotion. An
album for those who display and are convinced of a sadness and yearning but are really just empty and
directionless fucks who create an internal drama to actually feel something.

This album is somehow even more overhyped than LEMONADE. I expected this to nearly eclipse his self titled, based on all of the praise it's been getting. Sure, it beats overgrown hands down, but it has a lot of excess fat and ultimately fails to reach the heights of his debut.

Virtuoso when it comes to bonding fragile achiness with chilly cybernetics both vocally and instrumentally -- though sad-n-slender compositions and a nowhere-to-go flow and 17 tracks in 76 minutes make this an undoubtable slog, it's a slog that's oft-striking, satisfyingly sneaky, and sometimes strange; capacious enough to still forget about/get spooked by Bon Iver's startling "wooo!" some six listens in, reliable enough to still get goosebumps on the regz some ten listens in, irresistible in its intransigence enough to accept the 20 minutes it takes to hit his stride and the inessentials and the goofball dog-barks. Crucial Lyric from the pretty much music-less ender: "Music can be everything".

When the album's production job is so good that it'd probably somehow still sound incredible if every song featured the .wav file of a loud, shrill fart

For all intents and purposes, The Color In Anything is James Blake realizing his true potential, the album he's always had within his power to create. It's a brooding, vocal-heavy, wholly engaging producer/songwriter escapade with the most heavy-hitting and full-sounding production he's ever worked with. It's quality remains unwavering from the opener "Radio Silence", where melancholy piano and angelic vocals set the tone for the rest of the record, all the way until the autotune-drenched closer "Meet You In The Maze". Yet, with the quality being unmoving and the album being a nice seventy-six minutes, there is a slight issue with the songs bleeding into each other, which happens more towards the back end of the record. That being said, the individual songs are excellent, and this is true of each one. In all, The Color In Anything, in all its melancholic beauty, is James Blake's greatest achievement so far in his young career.

Lost my last soundoff. Album has grown on me significantly since first listen. Obtuse, soaring interplay between trademark modulated voice, its grimy synth background, and the lyric content. A pop album through and through. But done so well.

without a doubt a strong contender for album of the year and easily blake's best offer to date. beautiful (my willing heart), melancholic (radio silence), rbizarre (two men down), emotional (choose me) and sometimes deeply heartbreaking (meet you in the maze), it's hard not to instantly fall in love with this. the lyrics are really inspiring and well-writen, james' vocals are immaculate and the production.. wow, the production! buy this! 4

Not quite sure what to think yet. I like it, but maybe not as much as last two. LOT of ballads, probably less sonically adventurous.

Absolutely no qualms with this. 76 minutes + No moments at which I felt anything less than fully engaged/ rtitillated = My highest recommendation. Definite early AOTY contender for sure... that is at least until LP9 drops. -rnods w/ fervor=
