I have this record, and after a couple of listens, not one song stands out in my mind.

It is one of the highest rated records of the year at Metacritic:

Maybe it will sink in after further spins, but I'm not feeling it yet. I think "electronica/trip-hop" records get inflated scores at Metacritic, because they are usually only reviewed by fans of the genre.
