there, i said it. this is his most unengaging album under the aphex twin moniker. i like three tracks on it: fingerbib, girl/boy song, and milkman. please, why is this album consistently rated better than his others? its dull, repetitive, and the humor gets old fast. also, why is hangable autobulb so loved? |
||||||||

it's rich's 'poppiest' album imo. i suppose in other words he's toned down the more abrasive elements on it. i still like it a lot, though. it's almost rdj's two-fingered way of saying 'i could do it the "normal" way if i wanted, look!'. it goes without saying that windowlicker was an extension of this outlook. |

I still really like this album, it is better than Drukqs, but not as good as ICBYD. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Exactly. |
||||||||
|
|

better than drukqs, LOL LAFF drukqs is the peak of a slowly negatively sloped era. |

ICBYD = blaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggggg |

why does everyone dislike drukqs?? i think it's amazing |
||||||||
|
|

RDJ Album sucks... ICBYD sucks overall... I ain't real big on Aphex Twin at the moment! |
||||||||
|

Yeah, Aphex is just sooooo last fall. :D |

RDJ album is the best winter album EVAR but i just think that because i bought it in the winter and listened to it a lot out in the snow waiting for the school bus - so i have all the songs associated with cold. :) |
||||||||
|

bwahaha it's a killer album, full of vick and vigor. It's timeless in my eyes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dunno, i think the rdj album is still my favorite, saw2 is probably my second. i dont consider the girl/boy ep tracks at the end as part of the album.. they're kinda lame. (except for girl/boy song itself of course..) all of his others have their moments, but arent as consistantly good as those two, methinks. |

drukqs is underrated. Everyone bashes it yet it is nice to listen to |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for what reason did people bash drukqs? i thought it was original and innovative |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what !?!?! You to listened 4, right? |
||||||||
|
|

take the stick out of your ass dude...maybe you will listen to it in another way... |

rdj album and hangable autobulb are masterpieces! hangable autobulb 2 is masterpiece of masterpieces |

ive never heard the song before.. is that what the band is called? im being swallowed by the hype |

"its dull, repetitive" are you kidding me, you might find it dull for what ever reason but you can't say it's repetitive! there's constant change in the music, he puts so much into the tracks. what are the RDJ works you don't find dull? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

the rdj album does have a few crap tracks, girl/boy and yellow calx in particular, but most of the album is great, and not at all poppy :P......stop looking for emotion when hes going for catchyness |
||||||||
|
|

it brings out emotions i never felt before... some wierd alien something feeling alien must feel :P |

drukqs got me into aphex twin and idm. It was my first afx album and it's still my favorite. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
probably the first album i bought of afx's if i remember correct....and still one of my faves. |
||||||||
|
|

I listened to it whilst unwrapping presents on my 20th birthday. |

aphex works best live.. download his live sets and kick back. i prefer his live versions of RDJ and ICBYD shit anyday. Aphex spits out albums to make cash... its not his true format and it shows. Use them for mixing and the quality of the tracks emerges.... i aint into single sit-through listening sessions... mass it up, ardcore style i reckon!!!! yeahhhhh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
RDJalbum is a nice little cd... can't compete with ICBYD for sure but i prefer it to drukQs now (it's been months since i last played drukQs in its entirety, though it is very good, i just don't feel like listening to it anymore...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hear ya man.....the live sound shits on all others....especially when yer nutted! |
||||||||
|
|

|

drukqs is the best of afx, ever. |
||||||||

rdj album does not suck... it's a very nice album. I don't understand why many of you compare the different albums to eachother. It's the art that matters, and each album is a piece on it's own. Especially when it comes to artists like Aphex Twin who makes each new album quite different from what he's released before. I think it's a great album. |

4 - always a classic... besides one of my favorite track titles (now every time the number 4 is mentioned i think of this track. and the color blue also. when i was a kid, 4 was my favorite number.) 10/10 Cornish Acid - also a very good one, this one makes me think for some reason of an astronaut floating in space. i like the soft dark fluffy melody in the background contrasting with the more happypoppy RDJalbum-percussounds... 8.5/10 Peek 824545201 - also a very good one, and same pic of the astronaut, except that this time he's drifting towards a blue unknown planet (before, he was looking back at the earth). i like this one a bit better than Cornish Acid, for it has more spacey value, but most of the time i think both are two parts of the same track (when i listen casually to it while doing something else i don't even notice the track change). 8.5/10 Fingerbib - nice. not much to say about this one though, also a blue feeling to it. somewhat grey-blue though. 7.5/10 Corn Mouth - agressive beats and very cool melody lines, this one is more copper/slightly orange gold coloured... 8/10 To Cure A Weakling Child - another classic 7\ song, not better than the others but it's a nice change (all 5 tracks sounding a bit too much the same at parts)! i used to not like this song a lot, now i appreciate it more : ) 7.75/10 Goon Gumpas - yeah, this one is a bit too happy-happy-childish-christmas for me... though i appreciate it more than i used to. certainly not a masterpiece of a track, but good enough after all. 6.5/10 Yellow Calx - joy, joy, a calx!! ^^ ALL calxes are great 7\ songs and this one, even though it is my least favorite, is no exception. i hope we will see another calx someday in the future if it's as good as the others... 9.5/10 Girl/Boy Song - starts in a goongumpas-ish way... erm :-/ gets on to a very good track afterwards :-) pictures of fruit-trees in a garden. oranges, apples, cherries, etc. (and then a boy and |

a girl running and laughing in that garden, just to step on a hidden anti-personal mine and BOOM! exploded!! no more children!! yahahaha XD then adam and eve naked come in the garden and... nah, just kidding.) 8.5/10 Logan Rock Witch - another nice change, a cartoonesque one but not goongumpas-ish! a witch flying with weird miscellanea, clocks, teacups, frogs, theines, memorabilias, etc. around her, above a cliff on the shore. it has a serious aspect to it as well beyond the cartoonesque silly noises, and there is no other 7\ sounding like it, that's why i like it very much. 9/10 |

why why why? do you really need to know why? because i don't know why. I like it, I like the RDJ album. I can't say why... what do you want me to say? I like that melody and that one, and oh yeah that beat's fine too. I dunno man, it's got great melodies and a nice atmosphere. It's Richard at his best. I like it and you obviously don't, so fuck it. Go play another record. Who cares? |

richard d james album: its great! my mood about this release has changed many times... I was amazed at first listens...and then after going more in the old school direction I thought I was bored of rdj album... but I can really say that its a masterpiece... no matter what I feel about it. btw... I am enjoying it a lot lately |

Yes! Exactly, it's a winter album. I never feel the urge to listen to it in the summer. But on a nice winterday, it fits with my mood so perfectly. All the beats and clicks sound somehow soft and delicate. Like snow crackling under your feet. And the melodies are just lovely. Sweet and innocent. They remind me of my childhood. I adore this album! On some days i would say it is my favourite album of all time. In many ways it is absolutely perfect. |

This album is fantastic, anyone who disses it is a crumb-bum. It's colorful and eclectic and just plain awesome. Rich is a sex God on the front, the tracks are short and varied, etc. I think it still sounds fresh and much better than anything else released in the last couple of years. BOOYA. |
||||||||
|

you think?! I definitely see this as a summer-album. It's got happy sunny melodies and the whole sound of it... it's just like summer to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I used to love this... but damn, I tried to play it a few weeks ago, and couldn't get through it... and it's only a half hour long or so, not including the girl/boy ep... |
||||||||
|

"It's got happy sunny melodies and the whole sound of it... it's just like summer to me." Hm... well that's fascinating. How two people can interpret it so differently. When did you buy it? I bought it in the winter, so that might have something to do with it... Geogaddi is my summer-album. Damn...every song, every sound on there just feels like a long hot summerday. |

I also bought it in the winter, but I listened to it a lot when I was on holidays in Itlay this summer :) |

||||||||
|
|
