I consider Come to Daddy an album for the same reason as Alberto... it's longer then The RDJ Album... I also consider EP7 an album... I don't care if they call them eps, they're albums dammit!!! :)

this is all peoples personal opinions, and i stand by what i said. i really wanted to like drukqs but despite numerous listens i was still really disappointed.
if i must qualify my opinion i've been listening to rdj for 11 years. for me drukqs doesn't have that aphex vibe. needless to say i bought druqks but it remains my least listened to aphex cd

nacmat, you give drukqs 9.8 and still you bashed it in january this year. let me quote you...
"Reviewer: The Great Amagasaki (see more about me) Okay, cheesy titles aside, Drukqs have got to be one of the
most off putting albums I've ever heard. I couldn't touch anything remotely Aphex Twin for months thanks to this.... Luckily my friend restored my faith in Richard James when he
sent me some stuff from his earlier Ambient Works. ....
Which is not to discredit James at all. On the contrary, Aphex Twin laid the ground work for some of his latter contemperaries who would soon follow and expand on some his
ideas(Autechre, Squarepusher, Boards of Canada) that he had
laid out years ago. However, I think he realized that he could practically do anything he wanted and people would still listen. Sadly, I think that's what Drukqs comes down to, a man with too much artistic freedom.
Its real shame too. Richard James tries so many interesting
things that with some time and effort, this could have been
the mindblowing double album he wanted. In the end, I think
he knew that he could squease out a mediocre album and people would still buy it.
But I press on. So Drukqs will not go down as the greatest way to end a looooooooong career(the man's been doing this for ages, early eighties) but ultimately stands as one man's
final atempt to cash in before fading away. Please don't buy
this. Instead, try some his earlier works, even the Richard
D. James album. Or try Tri Repetae ++. It accomplishes what
I think James wanted on this album but is actually listenable. This is just junk. What a waste of time and talent"
surely this is not what you feel now drukqs. what made you change your mind? :)
