i thought it was extremely underwhelming and had the same feeling for me as campfire headphase, in that it seemed like it was a squarepusher parody.

hehe, the good songs i do like. they got this nice big sound, like a movie soundtrack or something.
while we're comparing this to campfire headphase, first thing i thought when i heard that one was, they're doing theyre same old thing but this time they have a somewhat new sound (still boc, but not same old synths and same songs).
this new squarepusher could be compared to his earlier stuff, but the tracks have the whole new squarepusher(/venus17?) thing going on.
.. manage to make sense of that and i'll be happy : )

Yah but campfire headphase had like 2 good tracks, this has a whole bunch of them. The melodies are as nice or nicer than any he has ever done.

Hello Everything is fucking atrocious! Weak melodies, crappy chord progressions, and what the fuck is going on with the drums? They need to be louder AND more varied because the melodies simply don't 'carry' the tunes anymore.
Comparisons to The Campfire Headphase are about right; insipid/lame/sleep-inducing. Overall, Hello Everything sounds like Mark King wanking over his New Age vinyl collection whilst helping his son with his G.C.S.E compositions.
Warp has one true innovator left -Jamie Lidell - who can perform onstage as well as on record. Tom hasn't done either for a long, long time.

if you look for innovation alone....not much could excite you in music these days.
the beats are not the strongest part of this album, but pay attention to the.....oh wait, you already hate this release.k

Tom's beard cheese has taken over with this release. He used to be the fucking innovator with releases such as Big Loada, Music is Rotted and Go Plastic, but now his music sounds like wallpaper; parts of Hello Everything could be background music to some shite holiday programme - it just doesn't sound right to me. This may seem harsh but I am genuinely disappointed - his music used to excite me but now I find myself turning it off. Oh well.......

actually this sounds much more interesting and rich than "go plastic" which was over-drumed, over-hyped and irritating. it seems that "hard normal daddy" will remain unbeatable though.

Plotinus is one of my favorites of the year, it really got my juices flowing, also the rest of the album is quite nice but didnt capture me as plotinus did(its a melody thing i guess)
Althogh it should be said ive only listened through once..

i thought this was going to be something different when i heard 'theme from sprite' but then soon those drill tunes we heard so much in the past albums and it just gets dull..most of those songs just sound like different takes on stuff i already know..maybe if it evolved into something considerably different that would be cool, but this just doesn't seem to go anywhere. i mean they sound nice, but i think it will wear out and get dull quickly..there are couple of nice moments there though. if i wouldn't have heard ultravisitor and tundra before i'd probably find this at most enjoyable.

well it's pretty clear that on this records he's playing with the same ideas (+ acid) that he was on ultravisitor, this right here is probably the defined sound of who is squarepusher.
the record is ok, it has some great tracks wich is enough.

he should have released it as double album together with ultravisitor. i always expect musicians to move forward for some reason..he moved on a little, which makes it sound interesting, but i don't think it's enough to say he created something new and for that reason i think it will be forgoten rather soon..or maybe it will grow on me..i already like it way more than i did after hearing it after the first time :D (if only there wouldn't be those drill crap songs :)

i don't think the tunes are very "drill", the drums just sound like cool, groovy layers for the rest of the elements. i actually love the album, but tastes vary. i think it's really hard to pick a pusher fave, but i'd rate ultravisitor as some of his weakest stuff. go plastic, hnd, feed me weird things, budakhan mindphone, burningn'n tree etc. are all fantastic and solid albums, and i think this one goes very well along with them.

ultravisitor (the track) was like an early experiment to this
the drums were much better in that track but on hello everything they are just kinda in the background and it's hard to concentrate on them because theyre not thrown in your face
and i like that!

I'm not sure wich 'drill' tracks you're refering to. I don't hear any. maybe the modern bass guitar but it's a very cool track.
also, if he realeased a double album as you say you'd be bitching that it would be a thousand times better if he split it in two different releases :)
IMO every album by squarepusher (with a couple of exceptions: go plastic maybe this one) has 1,2 or 3 great tracks and the rest is like meh but good. this albums at least is listenable all the way through without getting boring.
as to why he didn't 'move on' he probably likes this sound a lot. when/if he gets bored with it he'll make something different. the difference between this and ultravisiitor is that this is more 'accesible' and that it has lots of acid lines.
