*bit at least it's pretty filler material. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
plus the artwork is stunning! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

artwork doesnt count hahahaha the album doesnt have BALLS! from my observations, it appears that the if druqks is the first rdj album they bought, then druqks is there favourite album. another example would be nin the fragile (very similar albums) in that those who bought that album 1st claim it to be reznors best, tho everyone else knows different. |

they know all his smusic is shit hahaha |

only jesting, but reznors work has gone progressivly worse, like rdjs's |

I love this album, own it on CD and 4 x LP! Great Vinyl set too! Love the way the 45rpm tracks can be played at 33! Ive wowed many a friend on this alone! Houses some of my favourite Aphex tracks inc. Vordhosbn and Avril 14 to name a couple. How diverse! Again RDJ moves the goalposts... a masterpiece? possibly. |

Well, perhaps someone who heard Druqks first isn't as wrong as you say? I mean, it means that they will not look at older albums with rose-tinted glasses and fond memories but will see things objectively. I simply think Druqks is more complex, haunting, and beautifully difficult to listen to (if that makes any sense) than any of his other stuff. Particularly the first CD. |

drukqs is too diverse...its almost as if he was worried no one would like his new album so he included a little bit of everything, just so everyone will have at lest afew tracks they love... now that i think about it, doesnt he do that all the time? drukqs is just like all his previous albums. but with better artwork. |

i never siad any1 was wrong CS2x. i just said it was shit. |

Fair enough 1up. Heheh. I can't see how anyone could say that about a track like 54 Cyrmu beats (or whatever it's called) or many other tracks on the album, but each unto his own. But why do you find it lame? is it the "filler" material? |
||||||||

"After that album I thought "uh this is it, where do we go from here, u cant make a more complex drill album". Spot on; I'm pretty luke-warm about a lot of Drill and Bass, but Drukqs is easily some of Aphex's best work IMO. I still hear new details when listening to this day. Loads of tiny subtleties in it. The amount of work put into some of the tracks is simply staggering. |

not as sharp as anything before. i like most things (musically hahaha) as long as its got balls. i think rdj has lost his balls. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its not progressive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hate progressive, if i hear something i like i want the next album to be (almost) exactly the same... |

You are not entitled to an opinion. |

"drukqs is too diverse...its almost as if he was worried no one would like his new album so he included a little bit of everything, just so everyone will have at lest afew tracks they love... yeah, cause richie is just tearing his hair out over how many people don't like his music!! OMG OMG THEY DONT LIKE ME ?!!?!?!?!? ,....yeah ok ... anyways, it's fantastic easily one of my favs ... the drill includes very lush melodies (melt, ending of vord... etc) ... some very personal music in there too. |

He sure was upset when Joyrex didn't like it that much. But I love it. I haven't listened to it in like a year, but I'm looking forward to breaking the silence. |

You know how richard d james had stopped caring about making music for a while? Well, that was drukqs. This really looks to me to be similar to a bunch of pink floyd fans talking about how great the division bell is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the comparison with division bell hurt me, cos I think that album is shit... I think pink floyd should have stopped at the wall so you think this albums is a good analogy to divisn bell dissapointment? nah... drukqs was released when richard was just 30 years old... pretty in his early years of creation maybe analord could be considered that, but not drukqs |

drukqs is a great album, I dislike *most* of the paino tracks, but everything else has a lot of depth, and soul, taxidermist, I understand you don't like the album, but saying it has no soul is kind of silly when so many people can feel all kinds of things in this album, if everyone else can enjoy it for it's emotional value and you can't, then who do you think is more fit to make a judgement on it, and let's not forget that to a lot of people, this is their favourite, I think the worth and success can be rated by the true fans, and they all like it, I can understand that you don't like it, but you sound silly arguing against it because I haven't heard a decent argument yet. |
||||||||

(I'm also referring to some things that taxidermist said in the "[analord 3] klop job" post) |

Druqks is a very good album.it got so much varity in it.some stunning piano tracks and some good ambient stuff and some really hardcore idm.it hes latest good realease i think except from Analord 10 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"doesn't have balls" lol yeah right. Are you skipping over the drill tracks 1-up? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not at all i think.every stile he does on the album is great.and how usual is it idm diggers like Piano tracks ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

The album's got like MASSIVE perfect tracks, nobody can deny it or say anything against that. Jynweythek Ylow, Vordhosbn, Cock/Ver 10, Avril 14th, Mt. Saint Michel Mix+St. Michaels Mount, 54 Cymru Beats, Ziggomatic V17. If you hate that, you hate idm lol. All that is left, is two camps here. Ones that feel the rest of the stuff is valuable and is worth being on the album, the rest feels it shouldn't (in the progression of I care because you do --> RDJ Album --> Drukqs), or should have been released as seperate stuff. I still have NEVER felt all those stupid reviewers saying that it felt like leftovers from previous albums. WTF do they have ears? None of the shit on drukqs could have been made during that time, well ok almost none of it but it's like perhaps 4-5 tracks. The beat tracks are like fucking ahead in terms of complexity over everything he had done at the time, heck that he has done still of today. Damn it's already been 4 years old. 2001 was teh idm bestest year. Drukqs/Confield/Go Plastic. |

well what about people like me that like about half of the (non drill I suppose) tracks... |

drukqs was the first album i bought by afx (after having a burnt copy of 26 mixes) and its most definietely my favourite album by him. tho, i only really like the album for the electronic stuff, so on my ipod and on my puta, i only listen to the SIXTY MINUTE playlist of vordhosbn omgyja switch 7 bbydyhonchord cock/ver10 mt saint michel 54 cymru beats meltphace 6 taking control afx237 v7 ziggomatic 17 good stuff |

I was out for a walk a few minutes ago and I was listening to gwarek2. It sounded so much like a silent hill 2 school/prison, but there are these children that are somehow trapped and running from something screaming. The thing pursueing them is a disfigured man? (or perhaps insect seeing as whatever it was started screaming insect/rat like hisses). As this thing takes them one by one its playfully dancing around the floor tapping the lockers/bars with a stick? or perhaps insect like arms? heh, I'll shut up now.. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I don't know... hating on drukqs seems to be very unpopular here... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just given this another play. It is a good album. No doubts about that, hence i have 3 copies. but it was nothing like the shock of the rdj album was. that still rules for me. sort blast of insanity. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*short blast of insanity even. |

lol, when i bought drukqs cos it was the cheapest aphex cd at the shop, and i put it on, and i was expecting the first track to break ou into this electronic track, but it didnt, and i was all confused, and then vordhosbn came on (really loud too) and i was just sitting on my couch scared. ahh, days of when i was still new to electronic music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was my first aphex cd and the album that got me into idm... eventhough I had mhtrtc since 1998 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have to say that It's one of the best musical releases ever in my honest opinion. I just love it. It's what got me in to IDM all so. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I want to hear more tracks like the drill pieces in the album. Like I said in the original post, most drill bores me. But the structures, sounds and melodies (regardless of the brilliant beat programming) in drukqs makes it ahead of lots of electronic music being produced today. It has got soul. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Now that I've read the thread in full. I just can't fucking believe people bashing this album. As it means so much to me. Some people just dont understand perfection. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the drill parts are great.without the album suqks imo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the piano tracks are good actually. |
||||||||
|
|

An ex-girlfriend of mine, one of whoms favorite songs is ventolin, also finds drukqs boring. When I got it and tried to get into it and failed, I played it to her, and offered to give it to her, and she refused. |
