Album of the day (#611): James Blake by James Blake

[Le_Samurai]

Great album, easily one of the best from last year. Some of the best dubstep (or post dubstep or whatever the hell this is suppose to be) since Untrue. I really like how Blake emphasizes that dubstep was originally very similar to ambient music, which was what made Burial's albums so great. He has one of the best voices I've heard in a while. He's particularly great on "The Wilhelm Scream", which is a really haunting track and his best track, even better then "I Only Know (What I Know)" (which is what my friends and I like to call the narcolepsy song). I'm really excited to see where he goes, as I think he's one of the best young electronic music artists out there, along with Nicolas Jaar.

Don't get what all the fuss is about.

Did a complete 180 on this one. I hated it/him and thought it was boring pretentious rubbish - but then after another listen (or maybe 2..) I fell in love with his soothing sounds and precise production. Fantastic album.
