Tried this album twice. Still think it was just average, with more time spent wishing for the next track instead of actually enjoying it. Not sure why all this hype is going down.

I've found myself listening to Weird Era more than Microcastle lately, although I still think Microcastle's better. Still, "VHS Tape", "Focus Group", "Slow Swords" and "Cavalry Scars II" are all awesome.

I've gotten into Bradford James Cox projects lately. This album is pretty good, calls for repeat listens.

Atlas Sound is really good too, it just takes a while to get into. It's a very sleepy album.

It's weak compared to everything else Cox has done. I feel that it is basically a load of rubbish. I spent a good while trying to like this CD, but it's just plain weak. It might have the ideas, but it lacks the songs. Hence why I'd much rather listen to Deerhunter.

I can see where you're coming from, it does lack the songs, theres only 3 or 4 "songs" that I like on the album. I really enjoy the sound of the entire album though. I embrace it more as one long mood piece.

Supposovely "Logos", the follow up to "Let the Blind Lead those who can See..." is more straightforward and alot better. I'm excited.
