dude, i read this review on www.bornbackwards.com of the latest aphex. Shit is whack, doesn't make any sense at all:
"Richard D. James is a weird guy from what I hear. I read this FAQ on Aphex Twin once, and apparently he owns this car with a gun on top of it. I don’t know if I believe that but if it’s true, that’s fucking cool as hell. I want a gun on the Spirit. Instead of running people over like I usually do, I’d have my passenger stand up and blow some fuckers away, giving the term “shotgun” a literal meaning. Like, if there was a kid playing in the road, chasing a ball perhaps, it would give me so much pleasure to watch him get torn apart by machine gun bullets instead of running him over. You can’t see the blood if he’s under your wheels unless you stop and get out of the car. There’s no time for that shit; hit and run mother fuckers! Hit and run! Oh yeah, the album. It’s long as shit, but not long with all good songs. The good songs could have all fit on one album. He could have saved the shit for his own personal collection of bad music. There are a lot of weird piano things that just fuck with the flow of the two discs. I’ve never been a fan of his slow stuff though; I’m all about the fast, weird, fucked up shit. This album is definitely worth having; however, because the good songs, are really fucking good. Buy it, then burn one cd with all the good songs. Hell, don’t even buy it, just find out what the good songs are and burn that shit."
What the hell? That doesn't tell me shit about the record just that the reviewer is on crack or something.

It's not eloquently said... but I kind of agree with this dumbass. I'd rather it be pared down to one disc. There's no real BAD tracks on it, but not everything is great. It coulda been a conTENDah!

Ophecks is wrong in my opinion,i love the way it goes everywhere,nice piano melodies to head fuck songs to stuff just to confuse the hell outta you,sure theres a couple of not great tracks,but id rather have them on it then not,and to me the album makes sense as a whole.thats just me though.:D

Anyone remember the review Rolling Stone gave Drukqs? They let people give thier own reviews, and it got messy. Everyone was insulting the reviewer because they said the record was crap. The reviewer just wrote a book, so a lot of people went to Amazon.com to review thier book. So many insults. But it goes to show you how devoted AFX fans are...
