That drukqs is the best IDM album ever. the fast tracks are like nothing ever made.. listen to the detailed beats on the tracks on disc 1, listen carefully... every minor detail is taken care of.. the complex beat never repeats itself.. the breaks are super polished... just it the beats you have a whole universe to explore. and the tracks on disc 2... they evolve in a very sutil yet drastic way.. and every track tells a story... it's like an animated film. thats the fast tracks.. the piano tracks are only there to give you a break while the next fast track starts.. just listening one of them carefully is exhausting... specially ziggomatic i can't get to the end of it in one listen without missing something. and if you get distracted by a second you miss a lot of scenes. well.. what i'm saying is that you should try to listen.. really listen, to those amazing tracks on drukqs. |

drukqs is OK-ish, but while some tracks are truly outstanding, it doesn't seem to hold up well as a whole - it's a bit too all over the place, and given its 2CD scope, there's quite a lot of filler. the way the more aggressive tracks are spaced between the hushed, piano-driven pieces is rather annoying. i'd much rather that the beat-oriented stuff was on one disc and all of the quiet tracks on the other. i really expected far better material after windowlicker, which was a top tune! besides that, it drukqs pales in comparison to the songcraft of the 'richard d. james album' |

ha and don't even let me get started on how much i loved gewly mermans (headphuck with headphones), gwarek2 and orban eq trx4. |

this is soley opinion here my friend(s), but drukqs was pretty lame..... yeah i said it,, there.... ya.. |

you haven't been paying attention... druqks is the most elaborate music ever, and the handclaps on bbydhyonchord! oh what a delight! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
elaborate?, intense? good? worth listening to? nO!.. crappy, boring, uninspired, no direction, filler shit, 2 Cds of pure rip off.. yes! |
||||||||
|

gah, enough with that "you havent been paying attention" crap. it depends on the listeners perception. any person could say "you havent been paying attention" just to reinforce their own opinion on the matter, or to make people "see the light". countless people say the same exact thing to me about their special band. i take all of their opinions and toss them out the window. i HAVE been paying attention. and i still think its less than amazing. i dont care if you think drukqs is amazing, just dont say someone doesnt "get it" when its clearly just your opinion. |

THANK YOU! AHA! I mean Jesus Christ, the level of smarts in this room needs to jump a few. |

There is definately enough stuff going on in the background to keep my attention. To me it does inspire - sucks to be you if you dont get it. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think drukqs is good, but, you know, nothing to jack off to or anything |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not really, inspiration is all relative, anyone could say the same about patti smiths new cd, or garth brooks, well .. huh too bad if you dont get it cause it inspired me to take up the art of sucking at making music, or it helped me design some crappy logo. woope!yyyyyy!! |

i don't say you don't get it.. i'm just pointting out where you should look... and i'm confident you'll find it. i'm not saying is something heaveanly that only some chosen poeple can see. when i say you haven't been paying attention it's exactly that YOU HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO A FUCKING WORD I'VE WRITTEN. and your reply just proves it. just LISTEN. out |

You act like your opinion is a fact. Get over yourself. If you dont like then go back to listening to cannibal corpse. |

It's called an opinion, and opinions don't always exist simultaneously for two people. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree with your opinion. |
||||||||
|

drukqs is the nail the hammer and the wood, you just need to hit it right |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Nah man ....you can cram a track full of detail till the cows come home but it still doesn't make it a wicked track. Half the drill tracks sound the same to me, and trust me I am a fucking drill n bass head to the max. I lvoe pusher's Go Plastic, but drukqs just doesn't do it for me at all. Sometimes it's coll but I'm just not really down with it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think no album compares to Drukqs, no way no how. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Go Plastic is entirely different. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
od what do you mean, is it the sound, the composition, the lack of something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well it's the work of a genius and the greatest craftsman of music.. .and this is my last say on the matter. out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's hard to say, mostly the sounds and the way he priograms as all single hits, liek a bar is divided ito 16 steps, right? He does drill (in this album anyways) a lot fo the time with just a different drum hit on every note...personally I prefer drill with spaces between hits and occasionally double hits or 4 hits on the step (ie speed rushes etc). BTW.. Ppl shouldn't try to argue and say "but but" coz you can't really convince someone to liek an album if they don't liek it - there is no "You're not listening to it right". Also everyone's views are opinions here, there is no real definitive GOOD or BAD in the issue. It's all taste, innit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also there isn't enough real music behind it for me, (talking about the drill tunes here) a lot of the time it's just dark key hits every so often and I'm not really into that. And when he does riffs (liek in vordhosbn? from memory) they kind of tend to just repeat for the hwole song mostly. And I'm not really down with the piuano tracks. just kidn of boring ot me :/ I think it all comes down to the whole ":feel" of the album - don't get me wrong I love his early drill stuff - laughable butane bob and everyday were just fucking brilliant. I'd love it if he did more stuff liek those. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

od the drums in druqks (drill tracks in disc 1) are made with bars divided in 32 steps at least (i'd say even more). with really minor (yet noticeable) shifts every now and then.. so it really never repeats. listen carefully. and as the other drill trakcs (in disc 2) the beat just eveolves as the tracks go.. with the drum sounds and rythm at the end being something totally different. wel bleah blah. the melodies do repeat themselves in several tracks but.. i think it's because they're really one track. one story from different angles. |

see what i mean? |

|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

ummm dude you can make the drums osound liek they are made on bars of 32 by just using a 2 pattern combo AND I never said they repeat. Read carefully. BUT I'm not gonna get into that argument. Listen - the point is that no matter how much you argue with me I'm not gonna suddenly turn around and go "Oh shit you're right! You argued me into likiung the album!" It's not gonna happen. |
