Probably more than that. Actually, its not so much shit as it is samey and forgetable. But when he does hit the spot, he is superb.
"Die winnipeg die die die fuckers" is an example of his greatness. But it is also SO LOUD. Honestly, its the loudest CD I have ever heard. I have to knock the volume down 50% just to keep it at a level which is consistant with every other record out there. Apart from Clark, obviously.

pretty little, as he is rrally solid and makes a great work imo
I would say the % of shit is lower than in the case of aphex... like autechre snares is pretty regular, and his quality is really high
anyway there are some weaker albums such as horse and goat and winnipeg and meathole
and I even like those

I cant opine about quality... just can say i dont like about 77'7% of his music. about the rest,the portion i like, id say 50% is ok and became fastly boring, and the rest 50% is considered by me as amazing stuff.
thats, definetly, arround 11% of great music to my ears. definetly not worth buying his albums...

How do I word this so as not to offend the fans...?
Well, basically, I heard some snares stuff a few years back. Downloaded 3 "songs" and listened to them. What I heard sounded like an angry stepchild of musique concrète and circuit bending. On the positive side, I think Snares "creates" ("finds" might be the more appropriate term if he deals with much circuit bending) some of the most interesting sounds I've ever heard. I know I can't judge an entire library of work by 3 songs, but while the sounds were indeed interesting, their arrangement left something to be desired. I'm not going to give any percentage values because it just wouldn't be fair to V. Snares given that I've heard next to none of his music.

what's the point? well, if we repeat this experiment often enough, the average percentage will converge. and this percentage, believe it or not, will actually be THE percentage of vsnares' hit/miss ratio. like true science. xlt is where idm becomes science

Honestly, I think that Rossz Csillag Allat Született is one of the better records in my collection. I have a deep-seated respect for anyone who can come up with flowing beats in 7/8 which most, if not all, of that record is in.

hmm. I think a lack of "flow" may be the general problem I had with the songs that I did hear. I'll have to check out this "Rossz Csillag Allat Született" as I'm getting the feeling Snares has more to offer than what I've been exposed to.

amazing isn't it. and it's happening right now. we're actually experiencing it as we speak.

Oh is it meant to be music? Ohhh... I thought it was just one half baked shadow of an idea reused over and over and over and over and over again as some sort of joke, to fool thick people. I didn't realise it was music.

I never listen to any of his stuff. I've bought 3 albums and a couple of singles. Thought they were all SHIT.
So from personal experience 100% of it is crap - FACT.

is it jealousy that you guys have towards aaron?
he is one of the most talented musicians nowadays, and the fact that he releases tons of albums seems to bother you all a lot...
he is excellent indeed
and hospitality is one of the best things hes done in last couple of years... and its probably the best album in 2006

Oh look. Another "I love snares me" "Well I hate him" "yeah, well I love him" "yeah, well he's crap" "no he's not" "yes he is" thread. Just what I wanted for Christmas.
"Ah but at least he gets people talking..."
Indeed, and just look at some of the gems from this thread:
"About 3%" -penexpers "I" -melack "I didn't realise it was music" -dog_belch "biscuit rims" -hanal (this is my favourite one :) "i used a calculator" -Cnut

I don't know if i could classify a percentage of his music.. I think i'd need to sit down and listen through everything and make notes.. and man he has a lot of tunes.
I did hear him play a gig at the beginning of last year in Dublin and he absolutely kicked ass. Brilliant gig, he was highly entertaining and at the end he waded down into the crowd and it was funny looking at people crowd around him cause he really is a giant. He's incredibly tall and stocky. It looked a little like some giant surrounded by his minions.
