Yeah this felt pretty cohesive to me, didn’t come across as a mish-mash of disparate elements or anything, but maybe me not being too familiar with the genres it blends enhances it for me

The main weakness on this for me is just how much it meanders

Album Rating: 4.5
The meandering is a problem for me too. This is a vague unformed idea but I think with glitch that’s one of the few genres where “you got your glitch in my [x genre]” or vice versa signals that the mix of genres is /too/ seamless, as if the glitch I’ve gotten used to is more about the sensation of rupture than that of unity. But that’s too abstract and not always true (94 Diskont feels pretty “unified”). I have the same problem with Program Music I—the uncanny effect of a perfectly employed series of disruptive sonic effects doesn’t get me going? I’ll listen to this again with opener ears at some point as well as the newer one

if this actually were 15-20 minutes shorter it'd be so much better

Found this five year old comment on Reddit from the bandleader:
I may be committing musical suicide, but I actually agree with your critique. VDC is definitely all over the place and the record as a whole could've been, I don't know, 15-20 minutes shorter? It's funny how I now hear so many disagreeable "glitches" among all the intentional ones. One the other hand, the record is musical stamp of where I was at the time, and listening to it nowadays brings back nice memories of the recording process, and of how excessive and care-free I used to be when locking myself in the bedroom.
YWNKW was definitely a conscious effort to not be all over the place sonically and musically, and I think it kinda worked out. I didn't want to spend 2+ years recording YWNKW like I did with freaking VDC. I tend to over analyse what I'm doing; I'm kind of a dysfunctional perfectionist in that I spend too much time trying to get something perfect, and then realize that something else may have suffered in quality along the way. So for YWNKW I set myself a set constraints to work within, tried to embrace imperfections even more, and set a goal to finish it in less than a year. It worked!
FYI, "Milk", "Air Supply", and the slow intro/outro to "Acting" were originally written with the rest of VDC around 2001 or so.

considering complaints about the album is coming from ratings with 3.5 and above, plus the complaints being valid i.e. meandering etc, speaks a lot about the album itself.
