Who says it's a rule bands need to have a grander follow up? How often does that ever work out? Didn't everyone like the first one BECAUSE of the simplicity?? They almost went the opposite direction of what people expected, which I like.
My theory why SOME people are disappointed is because they want to like it as much as they like the first album, and they want to be aware of that after the FIRST listen. They have forgotten what it was it like when they first heard the xx. It's the type of music that grows on you, it takes time to build inside you. I love it. Chained is my jam.
