an honest and fair 8, although i have to fully delve into it yet, so that could go up over time.

9/10.

Actually, I'm a little bored with it now. It's fun, but I think you've done better sentances, and better paragraphs. It's still good, but I think I'll stick with a 7/10.

get over your pride and enter Free Record Shop for once. may be a crap place, but they're usually offering products before official release date. it's right there, waiting for you.

i only bought this record to keep my collection complete, it's probably my least favourite sy record to date. it just seems rather bland and predictable, nothing i haven't heard before. hope their role in music isn't over and they can still push themselves to create something more interesting next time. 3/10

[gmku]

I don't have it yet either. I'm old school. I like walking into a real, live record store and buying the thing out of the bins.

But it's been receiving really solid reviews in the press.

i dont know, i can download it, but downloading sucks. so ill wait

Well, 8.5 really. But I've rounded down to eight. Nine is maybe a touch to high, anything below eight is unfair, in my opinion.

[atari 2600]

Flame-retardant post:

That's the best I've ever seen anything put in my whole life, Hip Priest.

I would like to change my assessment to a negative 10.

Oh & I'll give the entire Aphex Twin back catalogue a solid 10.

If your sarcasm detector hasn't gone off already, here's what I really think:

[sonicl]

I don't really rate it as a 2. It just happened to be the only rating that no-one had picked and I felt sorry for it.

[greenlight]

[HairwayToSteven]

I gave it a 7. I'm sure it will grow on me more with repeated listens next Tuesday.

I have to admit on closer inspection... some of the lyrics aren't that fantastic. Compare something like Unmade Bed to Incinerate, "the firefighters are so nice.." hmm.

[deflinus]

to me, it has a different vibe. all of the songs are stringed together by this feeling i get when i listen to them. it's another great album

[Grete]

10, I love it..

[khchris(original)]

I gave it a 9.

Over 50% of the fans on this board gave it an 8 or better.

NICE!
