Is it me or is this the worst Aphex release ever? I mean don't get me wrong its an interesting listen but a lot of the tracks are just so forgetable. The sound is often pretty out of tune, cluttered and directionless. I know its a very different a distinct record but very few tracks on it actually work. I will always listen to it every now and again just so I can remind myself what it sounds like but basically it can't be a very good record 'cause I never really play it. |

cock-ver10 has seriously got the funk but those whining discordant ambient lines with a large amount of 'release' just ruin the pace in parts and downgrade the track. Its a prime example where one element just seriously ruins what could have been a 100% seriously rocking track. Better more punchier notes and sounds in that respect would have boosted that trax no end. |

Oh well, I just can't get into this record. When I compare funky shit like Amen Andrews to Drukqs, I know what I prefer. Even when I was more open to the drill style going back 2/3 years odd; I didn't get into this release majorly. I will endeavour though |

I dread to think what you would make of Confield. |

it's just you. ..but confield sucks regardless. |

I actually dont like it much... I LOVED it for the first year after it came out. But either overkill, or something... I just cant dig it anymore. I do like the piano/ambient tracks off of it, and I made a playlist of that that I listen to... but alot of the drill tracks are just too much for me. I dunno... drill has just gotten so boring for me. The only drill stuff thats really gotten me going wow recently, was some of the tracks off ultravisitor... and fyi, I love confield |

I agree that some of the trax are "forgetable" but overall I like the album. I do like the more upbeat/drill trax most. For the rest of them I do have to be in the right mind set (high/sad) to not skip past them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's you, cause this is the best idm album i've ever heard |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the drill tracks are chaotic as hell, but controlled by the utmost genius. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drukqs works best for me as a whole album, not track-by-track. |
||||||||
|
|

24 hours ago I would have agreed with you but I have actually been listening to it today and I have realised that the initial disappointment masked some truely excellent moments. Still not the release it could have though in my worthless opinion. |

i didn't like much of it right away.. but it grew on me.. i really like the piano tracks.. some tracks are much better than others i suppose.. i like the melodies on most of the "drill" type tracks.. but the constant beat/sound-switching and usage of the claps and other cheesy 80s drum machine type sounds kind of get on my nerves. i mean it's good that he can make nice music out of those sounds.. but those sounds are not really redeemed because of nostalgia.. because of my young age.. it just makes the tracks seem kind of unserious to me. it just seems a bit tedious to me sometimes.. all the layering and switching between all the cheesy percussion sounds.. but i do like the tracks on it that contain unique sounds or beautiful melodies.. but i guess that maybe is really is the point of the album.. to prove that beautiful music can be made with almost any sounds/tools.. depending on what rich uses, it can be gorgeous, crazy, cheesy, etc.. ..in my opinion and such.. |

I aree with you somewhat... |

I fucking love druqks, I think it's aphex's best, not his worst. Dunno why it doesn't get more credit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't find the 80s style drum patches + handclap(ish) sounds on drukqs 'cheesy', or 'un-serious'.. i wasn't aware aphex twin's music was meant to be serious anyway? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is the worse afx release ever, drukqs is pretty damn crappy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is just one of those subjective threads. one person says they like it.. someone else says they dont.. and so on + so forth.. ends up being pretty boring after a while. ah well.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree completely... but then again, if mods deleted every thread that is a back and forth of opinions, we'd have no threads about music left! |

|
the best music he's done. it just has so much in it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is it me or is this the worst Aphex release ever? No way, it's very original, it just sounds like something that SHOULD exist, like someone should have done it all along, but Aphex Twin was the first to come around and do it. |

ive just turned on another soul for aphex with this album |
||||||||
|
|

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

Drukqs is the best Aphex album ever!! |
||||||||
|
|

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

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
100% Yes on That. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
WTF this is probably one of my favourite aphex albums. The piano tracks are simple, but moving. The ambient tracks are good. And the drill tracks just kick ass. I don't hear anything cheesy in them at all. |
