idk the reason i disliked this was cause it just felt so tame and basic so from the sounds of it i'd probably dig that one more lol

"it's a good way to describe the album, with the fast drum rushes, abrasive sounds and over the top

amounts of whirring and noises on some of the tracks"



THAT I can (Well, sorta) see the criticism in



but the whole "too crazy/weird/much" thing I've never understood, it sounds less like a critic than

it is like someone saying that their ears aren't good enough to take it/keep up (although just

talking about content, I can see albums being too long)



"it just feels cheesy to me"



This I don't really see but I know dealing with the cheese can get too much so if you say so

so much cheese man i mean for real

this one sounds like a remix of some disney soundtrack or something



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgD5s82P2Jk



and this one just makes me want to kill myself, it's like i've walked into one of those terrible 1990s PBS cartoon specials or something, just awful



rest of the tracks just kinda sound similar to each other, tho fingerbib is amazing, it doesnt make up for the rest of the tracks which are either annoying or unmemorable.



but hey i generally dislike electronica that goes hard on the bpm (or even beyond mid paced) so its prob just me but urg, dont dig that album

Actually I retract a bit of what I said, I can see what people say when they talk "too much", though "too weird/crazy" are still something I don't really understand



I don't really see what you mean with the songs but I generally dig that kind of thing, so I'm probably just as biased as you, so w/e diff strokes diff folks and shit

yeah it took a bit for me to recognize this for what it was



RDJ is brilliant when he's not dicking around and unfortunately his later albums have a lot of dicking around. my favorites from his are still the polygon window release, this, and his analord series (especially 10)

"new album this year plzzz."







Richard never going to release another album deal with it. He said that his most innovative and original music will be remain unreleased prob until he needs more cash for buying tanks and submarines.
