The more electronically oriented tracks are absolutely bonkers, and they kept my interest at first until more experimental pieces finally set in. The sheer amount of variety on this album was pretty exhausting at first, but it's now become one of the reasons I adore it so much.
I never cared for the album's sequencing but it's definitely some of his best material at this point. When it came out, I still preferred Richard D. James Album.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
