I think Warp have created a hype. Is there somebody who agree with me that their new album is not so essential as "Music has the....".

I knew Iron would be the first to react. But he's such a tender person his reactions tend to be soft and caring (or he smokes a lot of pot). Wait for others.

I agree with you... Hype kills a record for me...
One of things I've always loved about AFX is his attitude to over-hyping...the music should speak for itself...
And if it's good enough, then Word of Mouth will take it to the top...(for instance, Portishead...I bought it first day it was released and after 6 months I had endless messages saying "you gotta check out this CD..."...felt a bit elitest saying I'd already had it (& their previous CD singles) since the beginning...

I do not want to be the one starting any trouble...but hell, everyone knows how much I love BOC and I always have to tell people to give them another listen.....
Geogaddi is a masterpiece and I wish more people could realize this....
Also, If domeone does have an opinion that I dont agree with or does'nt match mine...I love it...That is waht makes thi MB sooo good....So many opinions.
Oh and yeah...I DO smoke alot of pot....=)
Just give it a little time Artemis...if you liked MHTRTC...it is only a matter of time before you see the light....

BOC is great great great. I really love their prevouis releases. OK, i take the disc again in my CD-player. :=). Bye the way, Ironlung, have you heard "Twoism"?
Directine and iced cooley are their best tracks ever. I feel love for it.

But you have the point, Artemis, in saying it has been extremely hyped. It just comes with the territory I guess, with WARP being a big label now and all. Since I own Geogaddy only since yesterday I have not made my mind up yet. I think it's excellent but can't say yet if it's up to the standards of MHTRTC. And it's probably up to the individual, I guess people who have been listening to BoC before MHTRTC have different opinions...

Dude you need to listen to Geogaddi again, it gets better with every listen, even tons of people on this board hated it at first and now they are obsessed. Give it 50 listens and then decide.

geogaddi for me has too many ugly bits, only 2 or 3 lovely tracks and then a pile of filler tracks.

i think the trouble comes about when someone posts something parallel to "geogaddi is shit, your opinions are wrong you ignorant fans." and it makes sense some would get defensive. i like geogaddi. a lot.

i guess for some people it takes a little time to like what is more obviously good to others
take Go Plastic for example; i hated it at first but over time it grew and now i love it and vice versa
keep the open mind and have a day of BoC and then you'll love it like us others

thats just soooo patronising, no one has said that the opions of geogaddi fans are wrong. The same way that the opinions of 'new kid on the block' fans cant be wrong.
weve told you that weve listened to geogaddi plenty of times. why do you want us to like it so much? we are just stating our opinions on the album, not mike and marcus (theyve created plenty of awesome music to make up for geogaddi). you like it, i dont. by saying that, im not making a personal attack on u! ive said myself that there are some wicked trracks on geogaddi, but there are also many tracks on there that are actually sub-BoC. I am amazed at the amount of hype surrounding this record.
i loved go plastic at first, but now am not so impressed.
oh and btw the new alicia keys album is awesome, you dont like it? oh well give it 10 more listens then youll like it , :)

Geogaddi is excellent!
Confield is excellent!

are you responding to me? if so, you got me all wrong. i never told you to like geogaddi. i'm saying that your post was not one to arouse trouble. and yes, it has been stated various places that geogaddi is bad album, not that they didn't like it, but that in a factual matter it is a bad album. i appreciate your comment. i'm relieved to see that you grasp the concept of opinion. many don't, ya know? i'll not try the alicia keys, thanks.

who the fuck cares if it's hyped.. BOC deserve the attention; these are taltented musicians, they need money from us fucks who download a decent amount of their shit in mp3s anyways. and if someone not familiar with all this music is exposed to BOC through a bit of hyping by warp.. good for them.

I was never one to think that advertising and marketing was a bad thing... what is bad is if the music is made for a certain target market... that's stupid... but if an artists makes good music, who cares if it's marketed like hell... get it out to as many people I say... hype it all you want...

I love BoC, probably my fourth favorite electronic artist.
I think Geogaddi one of their worst releases, on about 5 listens straight through and about 20 listens to the songs I really like (1969, Music is Math, Over the Horizon Radar).
I'm actually surprised how much praise its gotten here, Geogaddi has big posters in Tower Records which doesn't surprise me as much, when music becomes bad people will love it. But I definately do not see what people are talking about when they say this album touches Music Has The Right To Children.
I have to agree that its hype, because people with otherwise great musical tastes are saying things that I just can't agree with, like Geogaddi is better than drukqs. I dont know really...I mean for the most part there isn't really much hype of any kind in electronic music...most of us here are pretty genuine to our own tastes. Plus, there was a lot more hype for drukQs than there was for geogaddi =)

oh man geogaddi has been hyped so much! compared with vatican nitez created by rephlexs top artist- and hardly anyone has heard of him, but in *my* opinion, vatican nitez is a much nicer album and is actually gonna be a classic, whereas geogaddi will be consigned to the bins of peoples electronic ears
