no, this shit is like watered down smooth jazz. he doesn't even use good jazz chords, either. i think if you played this to someone who actually likes jazz, they'd tell you to shut the fuck up and go back to therapy.

Yes, because if you like jazz you like all jazz don't you? sheesh!

lol @ haters

this album is awesome.

pitchfork gives it a 7.6

buncha faggs

pitchfork has been permanently regaded as 'a bit silly' for a long time now by those in the know.

WTF happened to Squarepusher?!

I blame the fruity haircut.

I mean... I used to host a Squarepusher fan site, and now i can't even be arsed to buy his last 2 albums.

How could the same guy who gave us these...

...give us this garbage?

that review is embarassingly bad, reads like a college freshman wrote it (probably did)

man i LOOOOVE Planet Gear so hard. it's definitely different than other Squarepusher music, but i can't imagine someone successfully proving to me that it's "bad", nah mean?

like i want to get in my car right now and headbang to it. RIGHT NOW

Serious. I have a bike nowadays, but JAS sounds perfect for some rusty old night rides around town in a vanagon.

OOh lovely.. just got my Japanese copy with the extra track. Pity its not a bangface one but still I'm absolved form all guilt of ripping the LP off bleep.com a month ago......

It comes with toms dream/acid trip translated into Japanese......Ironiclally the dream sounds like an everage Japanese game/talk/cookery show if you ask me!

what? it's not music?

I've listened through twice so far, and it may just be my favorite Squarepusher release. Then again, I'm also a big Zappa fan, and this one has Zappa written all over it. I still wish he'd make his kick drums a bit more audible. His music would have so much more punch if he'd just do that. I'll write him a letter about it...

I can't tell which of the comments in this thread are intended to be ironic anymore. I don't know if people are making fun of other people who perpetually bitch and moan about the direction of Squarepusher's new music, or what. There are so many jaw dropping moments on this album, and you've got to be pretty musically jaded not to at least acknowledge them. If it's not your style, fair enough, but give the man some credit. Who else could make this shit? Sounds like he put his all into this one.

you really should, i think there is some genius hidden under the paper-mache tin foil drums

I think musically its one one of his most accomplished, engineering and production wise its one of his weakest.

The glass road is just, wow, amazing.

Love the album. It's perhaps the most cohesive sounding one since Music is Rotted..

Not his tightest album overall, production wise, but I love that it's got shorter tracks and that it's not so serious.

Basically, it's less produced, more fun. Great times overall. High five, thumbs up.

I thought the same thing about it being one of his most cohesive albums. That was one of the first words that sprang to mind as I was listening.

He's never really been much of a producer... for me the production is pretty consistent with all squarepusher production, but at the same time it sounds more delibrately raw to my ears. The rawness of it makes sense this time around, whereas with a lot of his past releases I've thought something more "slick" sounding would be fitting. He's a top notch musician and a life-long bedroom producer. It would be cool to hear him collaborate with another producer but I really don't see that happening. It's kind of refreshing hearing that low-fi-ness in an artist of Squarepusher's stature.

i hear you, he clearly chose to have a different 'live band' sound this time around.

'real woman' is one of the worst tracks ever...
