surprised at the preference of so many people for rdj album over icbyd... in my opinion icbyd is far superior - the only trax from rdj album i listen to are 4, girl-boy song, beatles, to cure a weakling child ... whereas icbyd is almost 100% perfect, a song for every mood in my opinion... what am i missing here?

Yes. Icbyd is probably the most consistently good album I have ever heard. Though not quite the best.

i got bored of RDJalbum in a few weeks, haven't listened to it in something like a year... i'm not in Aphex Twin a lot anymore now but my latest listen of ICBYD was still very enjoyable.
ICBYD isn't perfect though, i could do without "Come on you slags!".

yeah that one bursts in from nowhere and it's a bit headwrecking innit. that's the one song i was thinking of when i wrote "almost 100% perfect"
icct hedral is one of my favourites. as is avid acrid jam shred. and the rest. bootyful stuff.

There's a fuckload of "drill fanz0rz" on xlt, so it's not really that surprising that rdj album is in the lead, not that it matters or anything. I voted for rdj, though. I just like it more.

I don't really like Icct Hedral or Ventolin, and some of the tracks are a bit nothingy like Mookid. It's not a bad album and Alberto Balsalm and Next Heap With are some of his best tracks, but RDJ Album is much more consistent. I hardly ever listen to ICBYD the whole way through.

i prefer RJDA album by far
BUT ICBYD has a mood, a special dark and strange mood than you can't find nowhere else... this album proves that RDJ is a genius, while RDJA proves he is a great musician

Agreed. There's not a whole lot of progression in most of the ICBYD tracks. Mind you, some of them were made in the 1990-ish era, so i guess i can forgive and forget.
Mind you, i still like rdj album a lotta lotta more.

i like the first part of handthrow (until it goes all hardcore on my speakers) and abomination street is interesting but i usually turn it off after 20 seconds.
nice recordbag, although you're missing like a million good squarepusher releases.

I prefer ICBYD as an eclectic Aphexy album, coming after SAW II it was more like SAW 85-92 pt II rather than, umm, anything else. Though I really don't appreciate Ventolin. RDJ album is just too short and I never really "felt" it in the same way as ICBYD.
I don't think I have added anything valuable to this thread at all.

No, i'm not, i started off acknowledging that, and wondering what everyone else sees in the rdj album that I don't.
at least I don't create fucking pointless and brainless threads.

Yeah only started to enjoy RDJ Album recently, I absolutely adore it now but despite an uncertain start I Care Because You Do I regard it higher. More consistant, Alberto Balsalm, dancier, Alberto Balsalm, longer, Alberto Balsalm.......
The only real downside is Ventolin. Perhaps if it was faster, it would be more enjoyable.
