Yes, seeing it on Pitchfork is how I came to know that it just came out. I listened to it however back when we all did, and while I agree with you that it's a listenable album, it's just not half as good as all the critics (Pitchfork included) are making out. In my opinion. Actually I think you summed it up best earlier on in this thread: you just don't feel it like you do the EP. Provided your feelings have not changed, I feel just the same way. EP, absolutely loved it. But there was not much on this album that I felt was must-listen material, ya know? I'll say what my favourites were:

Tiger Mountain Peasant Song
Quiet Houses
He Doesn't Know Why
Your Protector
Blue Ridge Mountains

The rest were consigned to the recycle bin.
