Just wondering if I was so different from all those critics who are calling it rehash and without direction? How many artists could replicate the sound of Druqks? Or rip apart a piano and relearn how to make it sound beautiful.
I know - lets get back to how great Jennifer Lopez really is.

well, the piano pieces are just rips of john cage and erik satie. but i feel that drukqs is like a scrap book of aphexs work that manages to not sound like anything hes ever done. its not his best album, but look what it has to compete with.
its a great album.

fuck the critics man, who cares what they think anyway? I'de trust the opinion of a fellow fan over them anyday, and it's no secret that most aphex fans love druqks, and many even believe it to be his best work. This site is chalked full of great drukqs discussions, hit up the search function and you'll see what I mean!

I get ripped to shred for this most of the time, but most of the non D'n'B tracks suck I reckon.

I really liked it. So many styles and the hard tracks like Mt. St. Michael are so visceral it's great.
And "Taking Control"is one of the best "driving tracks" ever.

it is his best.
and ceri jc, YES!!! I've had a tape of a handful of drukqs tracks in my car since july 2001 and have listened to it on almost every drive.
the piano tracks are shite for driving but any of the mentalist cut-up drum'n'yerface tracks work perfectly, especially taking control, meltphace6, 54 cymru beats, vordhosbn and COME ON YOU CUNT LETS HAVE SOME AFX ACIIIIDDD!!!

i think its great. has some of my favourite musical moments on it. "COME ON YOU CUNT LETS HAVE SOME APHEX ACID!" .....And some of my favourite dancefloor moments too.
As soon as the bass kicks in on vordhosbn, i just think.....fuck.

i agree with the idea drukqs is a scrapbook - always have. some works better than others but thats irrelevant. can have a lot of fun slowing some of the ecletic tracks into 40minute epics too.

i don't like drukqs.the problem is that if he'd cut all the fillers and made a 60 minutes record it would be a lot better.there's too much filler (in my opinion)and nothing he hasn't done before.
not really revolutionary. he wasn't able to reinnovate his style.
that's my opinion.

i'd rather have quality artwork released every couple years that i _can_ listen to for years on end than have released a decent album once or twice a year.
