I love this. I've always wanted an entire album consisting of drill n bass, and this is it. It's insane, funky, seemingly "random" (though I think it's not) and very well produced. It's not meant to be warm or beautiful! I enjoy it coz it's immensely complex, and excitingly mad to listen to.

AWSOME awsome awsome AWSOME
yeah its so fucking awsome..... definitely underrated IMO
ive never heard music like thsi by anyone.... its so hard and dark and cold and yet alive and jazzy, amazing
i always forget how good it is
its really intense too.... some of hte most intense music i know, it makes you want to blow up your own head, some of his most hardcore stuff, and that means some of the most hardcore music EVER
i dont get why people always talk about it as not up to sctracth w/ his other albums.... the pitchfork review is such infuriating bullshit, as they often are

yes exactly! such cold dark sounds, but he makes them dance like some violend brutal amazing breakdancing robot... some of the most technically impressive music ive ever heard.... so cerebral yet so visceral at the same time
its so intense its scary.. i think this is the album that makes tom jenkinson appear most insane

i don't agree on "cold, dark" sounds really, to me cold is autechre, and i don't like that at all...pusher just makes wicked sounds, but very warm imo.

my friend described the sounds as "piercing" when i played it for him
i thought thats a great description
another great description, from someone who likes electronica who i played it for:
'its so like..... jam-packed!'
jam packed indeed i love you squarepusher

very piercing at moments, but then it changes to melancholy and calm sound in the next track, then againg to harsh stuff...i just love how diversed this album is! probably one of most complete albums...beside drukqs :)

I listened to this last when I was mowing the lawn. About 1 minute into My Red Hot Car is turned the mower off and sat there on the tree stump for the entire album-span.
It's levels abouve enbything he did after that and had done before. People prefering older SP to Go Plastic are simply out of their element.

listening this to the first time in a while, and goddamn its still as good as when i first started getting into drill n bass and the such.
still the best there is when it comes to beat-oriented music, tom is probably one of the most rhythmically inclined human beings on earth.

The dying throws of a jungle hangover crescendo. Freak my Sir william romsey acid roots. become establishment.
Loads of money, access to that is going to ruin your sound. postmodern sit down while I play. Pusher ruled. It is all ceephax now. Love it or hate it is it not fuckin marmite. Pirate or radio 4 the choice is yours?

i really liked it when it first came out, but now i dunno. it is his most "electronic" album and certainly one of his most abstract releases. The absence of the bass was a basic complaint for me, but you can't just ignore the complexity of tracks like "my fucking sound" and the somber ambient melody of "Tommib." Hell, Tommib was in LOst in Translation, for fuck's sake.
Not my favorite SP release, but very solid.

It's a real mind-blower, man, a trip.
I think "I Wish You Could Talk" is probably the paragon for shoegazer IDM.
He's so expert at what he does that his talent is almost incomprehensibly advanced and refined.

To me, still his best work. The tracks groove so fucking well, the album flows effortlessly, it's all just so involving and well flowing. The production has such slick ideas and executions without becoming overindulgent or banal, it's just a really fucking primal, and, dare I say it; "danceable" album.

i guess this is the album i have listened the most.... of them all... probably a few dozen times too often... and i would say it is my all time favorite cd, if i could still listen to it that extensively..... hmm maybe i should restart doing shrooms.

I think it's a brilliant album, probably his best. It's not warm and fuzzy at all, but it is bloody exciting to listen to, and it's got it's own kind of cold funk. I think it IS emotional, only it doesn't convey emotion in the same way as other music might. Those bits where the music gets so intense (mainly tracks 7 and 9) that it ends up reduced to a single screaming tone or noise; those are piercing every emotion under the sun into your brain cogs.

Funny that this thread should be revived as ive been listening to this a lot lately. Although FMWT is easily my favourite SQP album,
I'd gleefully pay the full retail price for 'the exploding psychology' alone...one of tom's finest tracks and definitely the best on this album.
