Because I'm afraid I'm skipping on something and I want to make sure I "get" it

 

Let it go, mate. Leave the album away for a couple of months and come back to it with a fresh set of ears.

 

I awlays lsiten to it with an open mind and fresh new ears. Mostly because I always fall asleep after the 5th track.

 

 

When this happens to me, I usually never listen again to the album. I guess you persevere only because it's Aphex Twin?

 

I owe him the benefit of the doubt...

God I'm enjoy this new album so much, it makes me so happy, and it's so fucking cool! those next gen waveforms are delicious, God! it's amazing isn't it?

It is!

"Next gen waveforms" indeed!

Syro is bad 'while driving' album:
The case is practical.
You drive slowly, cos you want to hear as much ass you can. (not a bad thing really) I pity those behind me.
While listening, you're somewhere else than in the car.


Almost hit a unicorn.

The unicorn was only present in your reality (to get almost hit) because you were listening to syro.

And honestly, the majority of content strikes on YouTube are automated. Your video might not have even been seen by a Warp employee.

They probably would have taken it down regardless though...

After about 5 full listens this album is really coming together and starting to hit me now. Someone adroitly pointed out that Syro is more about appreciating the subtlety as opposed to drukQs where the sheer complexity comes to the fore. Now that my personal projections of what the new Aphex should sound like have faded away I am really starting to dig into this beautiful album!

So which ones are the newest tracks, you think?

Still not feeling 180 dB though; that kick sample is not enjoyable to my ears. Ah well, there's one on every Aphex album.

Very nice way to put it! Drukqs was pretty much in your face, a bit cocky, like "forget about my last few albums, look at how programmingly complex, varied and unpredictable I can be!" This one I feel doesn't have anything to prove, it is a lot more subtle than Drukqs. I understand it when people say it all seems the same, not enough variations, etc. It's an album that needs your full attention before it reveals itself to you.

how did you remember to tell us this?

I think you can't really compare it to druqks it doesn't make alot of sense.

Seriously, that last FACT mag article is really the most horrid clickbait nonsense I've read in a while. Really, the content will scar you for life:

*link to shit article (that I'm not going to paste here in order to keep them from extra pageviews) saying the track has been played live at the Barbican*

 

They just might do that with minipops, xmas_evet, 4 bit, 180db_ and patap4, lol

They actually already did before the album was released, using jasondonervan's scoop and even his printscreen of the copyright claim on YouTube. And (in proper Fact style) without credit to him of course.
