"Double Figure is a melodically intricate and technically impressive work. Why then does it leave me so cold? Blame it on aural saturation, if you like: There's only so much digital tomfoolery one can take before retreating back to acoustic guitars." haha what a fucking idiot |

Perhaps Squarepusher, nom de disque of the perennially hyperactive Tom Jenkinson, is a better test case for the apparent irrelevance of IDM. Gaining renown for pairing impossibly complicated breakbeats with his own fusion-inspired bass playing--and becoming the avatar of a micro-genre named drill 'n' bass in the process--Jenkinson is the archetypal mean older brother who rejoices in other people's displeasure. His willfully uneasy listening has always been sublimated under a gleefully malicious public persona. (In his last U.S. tour, Jenkinson reportedly got off on exposing the audience to extended live feedback and screaming workouts.) Pretentious wank. |

any album review that begins with a paragraph on a subject having nothing to do with music is wank. this guy is wank. he sucks. music journalists and critics are idiots. |

i also hate reviews where the critic reviews not the album or its tracks but the genre or scene in question. fuck that. |

that's from our local "alternative" paper! and yeah, there's a long tradition at the city pages of this sort of piss poor music "journalism"... though if plaid and squarepusher lived in a suburb of the twin cities i guarantee you they would have received a glowing review... |

i think everyone should be entitled to his or her opinion. exept for journalists, who should all be locked up together in a room and forced to review each other. for ever. |

that article was comical. i like how they decided to use a photo of tj looking like a real ass. |

I agreed with everything he said, and seeing as the article was three years old, compellingly prophetic. |

the guy who did this seems like a bit of a twat as well. |
