It's just so flimsy at the start.
I hope you're not referring to the wonderful "Earthquake".
No, more tracks like Sailing do very little for me indeed.
Personally, I find the middle run is super strong and the closing track gorgeous. The rest I can take or leave. Bit of a shame.
And yes Harold: give me an albums worth of tracks like Nothing Ever Happened, Twilight At Carbon Lake, Never Stops, Desire Lines, Helicopter, Saved By Old Times etc and it'd be mindblowingly good.
Maybe I need to check out the allegedly visceral sounds of Cryptograms. I'm listening to Logos now for the first time, and liking it, but it does seem like Cox is moving away from the propulsive rhythms and captivating hooks that make half of Deerhunter's output so damn strong.

It's pretty obvious which album is going to be the highest new entry, so it's really a matter of guessing position.
Are we talking about the gentleman whose last name is a color (out today), or the one whose last name is a geographical direction (out closer to the end of the month)?
