It falls kinda in the middle for me. I have albums of richards that i appreciate more than this release. I also have heard releases that were quite subpar.

I was just going to say :O, that since seeing a thrread about people taking the crrown frrom Aphex as the King of IDM, I went back today and played a few albums, at least the ones that I could sit thrrough, and to me this album has grrown betterr in time. It's maybe the only album that I can put on and listen to all the way thrrough. It's outlived otherr morre popularr rreleases of his. (imo)

Unlike most of you, I actually don't like this album as much as his other releases. I'd prefer drukqs over it anytime. It's not bad, but I've never really loved it.

It is easy to forget just how good Aphex is. Quite a few times I have put some Aphex on and realised that I am only remembering half of the tune.

If you like SAW2, you'll love this - lots of the same ambient goodness with mad beats thrown in for good measure. Nothing beats the harmony and lovelyness of Alberto Balsalm.

some of the tracks are really beautiful, and it's really creepy at parts too... i love it... but it's still probably my least favourite of all his albums released under the aphex moniker...

still my favorite, even through all the nostolgic strings attached.
'come on you slags' has to be up there as one of my favorite sample injections.
that track always made me think of a bunch hitting up a nitrous tank.
while in general rdj's great at putting complete albums together, somehow that one's able to cover the gamut of emotions, but still seem come together whole.

The only major album under the aphex twin moniker that I havent bought. I do have the mp3s, and plan to buy it eventually.
It's got some of his best work, like Acrid Avid Jamshred. Everytime I've played that song to other people they get a groove to the beat. Oh yeah.

As with all his albums, it has a few great tracks and lots of very bad ones. Gotta love mookid, but Cowcudisatwin is his best ever work, ever.

It is a great snapshot of the state of flux and transition of styles that Aphex goes thorugh. This is very the early Harsh Acid meets the gentler IDM and hints at the drill.
To me it still sounds more like a compilation than an album.

THE aphex twin album for me. (even though i prefer SAWII)
the only flaw in it is 'Come On You Slags!' (IMO).

" too bad we have such few track votings... :-/"
> *just voted! : )
(i think people just forget about voting... or maybe because it takes a bit long, since you have to drift through every track at once, you can't rate all the tracks on a single window...)

I find it mostly boring but there are some great moments.
You can tell that with half his tracks, he simply cannot be arsed. Not very nice for the poor consumer!

I'm not so keen on his slow IDM stuff, especially the slightly hip-hop-ish moments on the album, really. It has some of my favourite Aphex tracks, and some of my least favourite Aphex tracks. For instance, I have absolutely no idea how The Waxen Pith, Wax The Nip and Wet Tip Ten Ex go. The tracks do nothing to lodge themselves in my head. And Come On You Slags and Start As You Mean To Go On just sound like cleaned up 'Classics' tracks (which I hate).
However, Acrid Avid Jam Shred, Icct Hedreal, Ventolin, Mookid, Alberto Balsalm and Next Heap With I really like.
So it's an album of two halves, really, I suppose.

this is my story:
i had waited to buy this album for a while. it was one of the few aphex releases left that i didn't have, and i wanted a real copy, not just a cdr. everytime i saw it at a store, and it would always be something crazy like $17.99, and who wants to pay that much for a cd? not me. so the obvious choice was amazon. wow! $10.xx brand new! so i bought it, and i waited.
a week later:
woohoo! yeah! brand new copy of icbyd! i open it up, and what is in the case? weezer's pinkerton. AAARRRG!!!! i had been waiting so long for this cd, and what do i get? an album i already have! so i write to the seller all pissy like, and fortunately he's a nice guy and sends me a brand new copy. but for that weeked (of course i was going on a trip to vermont, and i was really looking forward to listening to it), i had to burn a cdr. oh well.
excellent album, always in my car or on my ipod. loooooove come on you slags!, mookid, alberto balsalm, and well the whole thing.
hope you enjoyed my story.

i STILL enjoy this album - in fact, i remember the day i obtained it - i was at work (damn, long time ago - i was at WORK!) and it was busy as hell, and it was fucking pouring rain outside. so obviously, i didn't get to listen to it until i got home. i was almost late to work going all the way across town to get it an hour before work, rather than waiting for the next day.
anyways, i still enjoy this album. wonderful stuff. alberto balsalm and acrid avid jam shred are two of my all time favourite AFX tracks.

It came in the post today. So far I like this album although I had already heard most of the tracks through other sources. The cover picture is very nice.
I prefer the RDJ Album like a lot of you.
I would also say DRUKQS is slightly better, but maybe that is because there are more track on Drukqs?
