Agreed, and I am (or at least was) a big fan.
Unfortunately I think Tobin's running out of steam. ISAM is a total and complete rehash of The Foley Room minus the musicality and strikes me as 'experimental' music solely for the sake of being 'experimental'. Plus that Kitty Cat track is ****ing stupid.
I'd really not like him make a farce of his career and just rehashing Permutations or Supermodified either but he proved that he was able to bridge the gap between those jazzy big beats and experimental recordings while still coming across as uniquely his style with the previous album.
ISAM just falls flat and hollow in comparison to The Foley Room and is ultimately the first disappointment I've ever gotten from his work.
