Hydrogen, Deep Time into All Reason Departs (counting as one lol) and You Retreat are probably my three favourites on this. Amazing album.

at the risk of being utterly humiliated and laughed at, this did absolutely nothing for me.
shame, since i wanted to get into this type of music by such a lauded band as this one, but i think i just don't get it at all

I would (and did)
but the real joke would be if he didn't vibe with MHTRTC (Geo too, but that's trickier)

I've rarely been so out of step with consensus as on this one... can someone explain what they like about this album? I don't understand when someone would ever be in the mood to listen to this lol.
It's not a warm or fun listen at all. For a minor key electronic vibe, it lacks the haunting beauty of a Burial, the myriad details of an Aphex Twin or Venetian Snares, or the jazzy grooves of a Portishead. It's like a David Lynch soundtrack that could accompany some odd scene but is just boring and mildly offputting by itself. Don't get it

Dumb album overall, sellout material, but You Retreat In Time And Space is almost genius.

Couldn’t possibly disagree more with some of the takes on this page. Especially calling this sellout material, that’s just absurd. Maybe it’s not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s fine, but I think this is about as high quality as you get with sound design. It has amazing rhythmic complexity too that maybe isn’t immediately obvious. There are a lot of subtleties that initially didn’t register for me, like how the vocal samples throughout the album are used as percussive elements (especially in Father and Son and The Word Becomes Flesh). The former in particular is a masterclass in sampling, if you listen to the source material. And comparing this to Aphex Twin and (especially) Burial is odd to me. I mean the former is just untrue; it’s extremely complex underneath the hood, and the latter is more subjective but tracks like Deep Time and You Retreat are the definition of hauntingly beautiful, to me at least.
I think that like with all BoC albums, this one benefits greatly from repeat plays. Like I said tho, it’s just not gonna be for some people which is totally valid, but saying it’s lacking in all departments is shortsighted/downplaying just how nuanced and deliberately put together the album is. There’s also plenty of warmth here, I think, but it’s also not trying to bring the same nostalgic beats and vibes as albums like MHTRTC
