For me, ICBYD is the best album ever made. But before i used to think that, i didn't like all of the tracks...Wet Tip Hen Ax wasn't/and isn't that good. The Waxen Pith is a bit non-brilliant, too.
but the rest is pure genious.

I would say the least genious track on the CD is 'Cow Cud Is A Twin'. I love 'the waxen pith'....

One of his worst albums... some great tracks (ICCT, Slags) but the rest is him treading water....

Ventolin is one of AFXs worst tracks ever.

Ahh, I beg to differ on that one. I especially like the high tones in ventolin. Bought the remix ep too...

it's funny...every time someone types ICBYD i don't think "I Care Beause You Do", but instead i think "I Could Buy You Drugs" ... i wonder why...
anyway...I don't like ICCBYD much...maybe i need to listen to it some more....

Yeah, it's his best for me. Brave tracks that don't lose the plot with boring DSP workouts. All the music demands attention, as opposed to demanding praise for amount of editing/fine tuning of reverb times etc. It's just great music.

man, Ventolin was one of my favorite tracks on the album...I know its not full of wonderful beats and genius blips, but that is what attracted me so much to that song...the ability it had to just slice your eardrums...the ability to piss off EVERYONE within 20 ft.....
ahhh Richard is GOD.....

The Ventolin remixes ROCks, I like them much more than the original version.
Those two EPS togheter is a nice buy.

I think ICBYD is his second best (RDJ is number 1 for me). I like Ventolin, but I always turn the stereo a bit down. I played Ventolin, on a friend's stereo. My friend was sitting in front of his computer, and when the song started, he thought it was something wrong with his computer :)

Riccardo: I bought Folk recently for £5. Its ok, but a bit boring like Snatch. Turn the Dark Off is the only essential one if you ask me. Though Music for Babies is also pretty good.

I love ICBYD. I like how it keeps on changing (Icct Hedral to Ventolin to Come on you Slags...) but it doesn't have the in your face changing that Drukqs has (Not that I dislike Drukqs in anyway). I think the album flows perfectly and it does contain what perhaps is my favourite RDJ track (Alberto).

IMO ICBYD showcases RDJ's vast range of musical talent better than anything else he's released, and it is definetly my favorite. I pretty much like all the tracks on it other than Ventolin and Cow Cud. Not to mention it's got three of my all time fav's: Alberto, Acrid, and Start.

disk 2 is better than disk 1 although Ventolin has a special place in my history. WHen I heard it for the first time it was like the baddest sound I had ever heard. It felt lik emusic in my head had been set free.

I love that album but I don't think it flows like an album should. It lacks a cohesiveness (if that's a word) and just seems to be a bunch of tracks put together to form an album.

For me, it's a good album, but I have to be honest, the only songs I EVER listen to, and ever will are Acrd Avi jamshred, Mookid, Alberto Balsalm and Cow Cud, with Cow Cud prolly being the best out of them all. I couldn't really get into the others, but it was worth it for those 4 :D.

i hadnt listened to this album for ages and listened to it again today. it didnt sound as amazing as it once did to my ears :( i think drukqs is stronger, though im not sure a lot of you would agree...
but acrid avid jamshred is still as excellent as it ever was! it's still my fav aphex track today.

icarebecauseyoudo is a great album.
i have some trouble adjusting my ears to SAW I though, sometimes i think some tracks tend to be a bit cheesy. (or is it because he was too young?)
anyway, rich is God.
