I'm having trouble getting into it so far. Right now I'm leaning towards skipping buying this one. Strange too, seems like most people were infatuated with it right out the gate (didn't need time for it to grow on people)- so I'm wondering if it will actually grow on me eventually, or if it's just not my style.

Veckatimest is definitely one of the years best. "Two Weeks" can definitely be close to the top of the years best songs. The first four tracks are golden, parts of the middle of the album get a bit weaker, but they still make the album complete, it is what it is. "While You Wait for the Others" is probably my favorite, the climax of that song is beautiful on the ears. It's suiting that after that song, the following track is the gentle "Foreground". If Merriweather Post Pavillon is the party, then Veckatimest is the morning after.

I agree. I finally bought this album, and I'll admit it's better than I thought (still worse than the hype though). Drumming intrigues me- crashing cymbals et al. I'll say average or above average.
