To all the people who have dodgy downloaded the leaked drukqs album - What's it like then? Any good? Same old styles or new and sexy? |

That sentence doesn't quite make sense, but you get my drift. |

It's kinda like hearing selected ambient works II for the first time, and going 'what the fuck?', but then falling in love with it. :) Sort of. |

DrukQs is easily his best album so far!!! With this album he seems to please everyone, ambient tracks, gabbber tracks, soft tracks, hard tracks its like a best of that AFX style album. I only heard disc one and that CD beats all his other cds. If CD 2 has the same quality its not even funny (but I save that CD to oct 22). Im a little scared that its so easy to fall in love with this album (only after listen to it three times its my favourite) its his most accesible album so far (I love it, you will love it). Peace |

Cool. As much as I love his 'difficult' stuff, it's the accessible stuff I play over and over again (Windowlicker, On etc.). Call me a lightweight, but that's the stuff I love... |

fantastic album, and yes, even the first disc is better then anything else released this year, even though it is fairly accesible. Beautiful melodies in the fore and background. Yes, some of it is stuff like hes never done before, some of it is all of his stuff combined. |

it's absolutely brilliant. it's got all the old aphex styles, and new ones too.. ambient, hardcore techno beats, drill and base, short little samples of his mum, classical piano pieces.. and more.. it's so good.. :) |

I love it so much that I just keep replying, but it blows all the WARP albums by all the others right out of the water, and yes, that includes Squarepusher, Plaid and Autechre. Plaid's new album still being my favorite this year until ofcourse I heard DRUQKS. Aphex once again shows that EVERY other artist is again just merely his disciple as he is a god on his throne. All of these so called new contenders to his throne have all been deleted by this album. That includes everyone from Kid 606, Richard ( im so overrated) Devine, Jega, Phoenecia, Ovuca, Bogdan, etc... They are pushed back a few more lightyears with the release of DrukQs.... w |

it really sucks ass. way too much banjo and accordian on this one and he seems to have gone a little over board with the r'n'b diva vocal harmonies. i especailly hate the song about the rough time he had of it in high school. teen age angst has paid off well but now he is board and old. i never took RDJ as a goth bat caver so the second disc really came as a surprise with all the macabre chanting and melting candle/hourglass references. the song about him drinking 40's in the hood with his homies was a delight however and probably one of the only shining moments on this otherwise dreary album. RDJ should just keep his hands out of the gothic/zydeco movement. |

he never kept is a secret that money is something he enjoys getting for his music. i think the whole goth thing was kinda going to far. and what you said about being a kid in highschool? totally agree. it sounds like days of the new doing techno or something. fuckin terrible. but there are good tracks. like the one about 40's and the other one about groupies............ |

My favorite is the one with him shouting, "Selecta!" repeatedly. I think it's called Fnanc Btwtyeovil. |
