not sure what lucid is talking about when he says this is poor man's radiohead. they have the "art" thing similar but very different approaches to songwriting

yeah Alt-J reminds me of Radiohead but they are a lot ~weirder~ and a whole different beast

The bass on this recalls In Rainbows sometimes, and the influence is there, but yeah Alt-J have a different songwriting style.



And yeah this is definitely their best.

Me and my roommates jammed this hard back in college. Love it so much.



I'd give it time to grow yeah. Taro, Matilda, and Something Good are some of the prettiest songs they've ever written. Plus Fitzpleasure, Tessellate, and Breezeblocks are such excellent and weirdly visceral singles.

If you think this is a 2.5 just wait till you hear This Is All Yours.

Most of it is just too boring to me, not bad by any means

leagues better than their next two. they went from writing pitch-perfect experimental indie pop to scrawling out two bland messes of records, blimey harry
