Weird, I'm listening to it, too. :)
I think it's his most cohesive electronic album. I like it a lot, as well.

By far his best in my mind, and in my top 10 of all time, electronic-wise.
Can he do another one? Tough fuckin' act to follow. If that ''new'' track last week, the longer one, is any indication, then no.

I liked it at first, but time has taken it's toll. There are some good tracks on there... but too much repetition as far as the sounds are concerned. I didn't used to like him much at all but I've recently been getting into his older albums... all of which I prefer.

I have heard a new track and it is much in the same style as go plastic, not a bad track though but i was hoping for something different.

Amazing album indeed... but his best? No... i still think Hard Normal Daddy is his best. Go Plastic comes 2nd :-)
I don't really like My Red Hot Car, but after that it's all fantastic. I remember when i first got it i could hardly listen to it because it was too chaotic. It didn't make any sense to me. But now... it's incredible, i love it!

I LOVE that little jazzy track... I hope that's legit.
The 4 minute one sounds like a retread of Go Spastic... I hope it's fake or some sort of leftover he played live or something. Totally uninspriring to me.

It's fabulous, the structure of the album is genius. So many good tracks, and they all keep going for a nice long time without losing your attention. I think the reason Chocolate Wheelchair is so good is because it has some likeness to this.

What is the matter with you people! *breaks down and thumps the table* It is the worst album ever made! It isnt the least bit funks or interesting or emotional or catchy or inspired, its just some percussion and a few effects, for a whole album. Play me any track and i couldnt tell you what one it is because they are all identical. Its so empty theres no warmth there at all, and not in that cool experimental way. And the short tracks are just tom trying to be boc, but hes not, they are so out of place and pointless. Even the front cover is crap! Some guy with his face all blurred and shadowy, what the heck is that!
Screw you guys im going home.

haha...I was just about to type everything Bob McBob typed. I thought this album was one of his weakest for the reasons mentioned above (empty percussion, no real warmth). Music Is Rotted One Note is my favourite of the pushers, followed by his earlier word (HND an Big Loada), Go Plastic was just an average retreading of his older work.
Again though, I guess when you got into Squarepusher or electronic music in general will effect the way you view this album.
I remember the day I bought the album (the day it came out). I put it in my personal CD player while walking and was intensly disappointed with what I heard.

i also have dyksp? and feed me weird things, and i was disappointed with them as well (tho i did like f-train, anstromm feck4 and smedleys melody)....i have given up on him as a maker of drill n bass (or whatever you call it) but im still a little curious about his jazzy work, if i can ever find a shop that sells them.

I like Feed Me Wierd Things, didn't really like DYKSP although it was a bit better than Go Plastic in some ways, and even worse in others.
It's funny, that these days if I fancy listenening to any of his stuff it is normally his slower stuff, Iambic 5 poetry is getting quite a bit of play now.

I don't put Go Plastic on for the emotional content, cause yeah, it's mostly just percussion really... but damn, I do think it's pretty funky, it's an insane way... and the bass parts are so cool, gives it a real reggae feel... and hey, you have I Wish You Could Talk which IS an amazingly beautiful song... great great album!

this album used to be as important for me as workouts for a bodybuilder
but i have to agree with Surrounded... nothing beats 'Hard Normal Daddy'.
oh, no... wait... ABBA's 'Arrival' does ;D
