I've been listening to that James Blake (self-titled) album too and am still on the fence (but slowly getting off of it). I really like the atmospheres, textures and wobbly uncertainty of the sound. He casts an impressive spell for a debut. But, I've never been of fan of /*begin inability to name a genre*/ that smooth bedroomy R&B ballad kind of sound /*end*/. The third track The Wilhelm Scream is the clearest example of what I'm thinking of. Although, to be fair, I think that track is really a very good one, that more than makes up for my aversions. I never listen to the radio anymore so I don't know if he's getting any airplay. If it were me, I'd pick Wilhelm as the one to push on the air.

I suspect this album will only grow on me.
