I have access to SAW II at my local record store, but I don't know if I should buy it. I've been getting mixed opinions about it. Can anyone convince me to buy it?

no, not really. it's VERY much down to the individual.
The ONLY way is to listen first.

I think it's just one of those albums that you NEED in your collection, for when you're in that particular mood...
True?

if you dont buy it, you'll hear it later on, love it and try to find it and it wont be there and then you'll kill yourself because the only copy you've got is a really poo mp3 that was taped in the next room with a kids microphone, while it was playing on an am radio station.
and then , you'll think back and say, shit!! i could have bought that so easily from that record store, but now i've got to pay 3000 quid for a cd copy off ebay.

personal preferences but most of the album is far too sedate...only a handful of songs actually have a beat or any musical structures than droning ambience...I mean a lot of it even lacks melodies..take a listen to the samples on the explore page and decide for your self...

I love it! get it!
You cant just listen to the samples on this page in RA.
Just get it, sleep to it, cry to it, laught to it, enjoy it, have it in the background, listen to it, smoke to it, take extacy to it, fuck to it, listen to headphones.

flea, music doesn't require beats all the time. i'm not having a go at you when i say this but i guess you lean towards the 'industrial' end of electronica.

yes. I bought it as new and its been on rotation ever since...It's one of those records that there are beautiful tracks that you can imagine diferent things and places to. and very scary tracks that are actually fairly un-nerving. If you have heard any of the Brian Eno Ambient Series you will apprecitae. I actually only picked up these ENO albums recently and it was like joining the dots backwards. Definitely Aphex has updated Eno's dreamscape worlds....

I think SAWII is an excellent album. It's made me scared, it's made me cry. it's made me laugh and think. It's an awesome album covering different emotions and probably creating new ones. It's also my #1 album to study to. And to sleep to. It will relax you and make you feel carm, then it will freak you out.
Get it!! If you don't like it atleast you can look at the pretty photo's inside :)

i loved it instantly. i was in the record shop with the headphones on, it was a out of this world experience. Lie down in bed, close your eyes & Try to use your imagination when you listen to SAWII, you'll enjoy it.

you have to be in the mood for listening to it (but it's not as necessary as for autechre for example) but i'd recommend it too...!
try listening to it in the dark when you've got enough time.
laying on your bed with all lights out -- especially for [blue calx] -- is the best way to appreciate it methinks...
