January 11, 201016 yr I still don't think it tops LP1. It doesn't have the apparent surprise factor that they had because of such an original sound. I think people are impressed with LP2 because they have been able to successfully maintain that originality whilst providing some evolution of their music and creativity. So in that sense, It deserves to get the same reviews as LP1 got, but I still don't think its better. by the sounds of things the general consensus is that its a good album but not as good as the debut. i think expecting an album as good as the debut is setting the bar a little too high. the fact that people are still loving the album is a really good sign.

January 11, 201016 yr It's certainly a grower thats for sure. It has much richer, more sophisticated sound than the first.
