Incredible. This might be chart-worthy actually (overall, I mean). The sounds really are enveloping and the whole thing makes me feel comfortable like few records do. It also helps that the songwriting is pretty near.
It might be the only recent album about which Necharsian's opinion is not shit though

This. In my top 10, it's the after-Prom of music, great for when you're out in the early morning with your boyfriend/girlfriend.

My friend has pushed me to listen to the album on many occasions, and I finally did. I liked it. The grooves are nice!

I don't like it as nearly as much as the previous EP or subsequent album, but it's still nice on occasion.

Life of Leisure is my favorite! But overall Washed Out is one of my two go-tos when I wanna relax (Tycho being the other).
According to my last.fm they're tied at almost 200 plays each for my top artists rn. HAHA.

No Amor Fati? 
In my opinion, that's the really stand out.
This was the first album by Washed Out that I had heard, and i think I wasn't really prepared for it at the time. I found it fairly dull and flat. Wasn't until a few months later after I had heard some of Washed Out's other work that I understood this album. Impressive overall.

"Amor Fati" goes in and out of being one of my favorites. It's not that my opinion on "Amor Fati" shifts, but I come up on other songs. I might have included it if I had been in a different mood when picking tracks.
