i want to see negative reviews because i already confidently think the album is good and i don't care about positive opinions
Kayden Powell
Do you guys listen to it all in one go, or do you separate it?
I first listened to all of it at once, but that became very exhausting and samey in the end, but listening to one disc, then listening to a completely different album, then listening to the next, and keeping alternating is proving to be a lot better, and all of the songs become more memorable to me.
Alexander Hernandez
i did the same as you. listened to it all the way through, then each disc separately and preferred the latter approach. however, now i'm more familiar with the tracks and am able to differentiate them, so the 4 hours doesn't seem as tiring as it did the first listen.
certain perspectives can still be enlightening even if you agree with the general opinion.

Trying to make sense of the review of Autechre, Untitled? It's a one-act play that starts with:
(Sitting in the dormitory room just after class on Thursday, Achilles changes into his gym clothes as his roommate Tortoise bursts through their door in a fit of happiness.)
Tortoise: Achilles, have you seen this?
Achilles: What?
Tortoise: Do you see? Yes? I'm referring to the object, though small in size, quite interesting in stature, I am holding in front of you now.
Achilles: It's a CD.
And ends with:
Achilles: And my point is, if it's driven by form, it's a pretty messy, lazy form-- certainly no more structurally sound than any other software wank music. On top of that, if I'm supposed to "feel" this, to pick up on some obscure metaphysical in-joke, I'm not-- isn't it the job of a good artist to make that shit clear? Either way, it fails for me. Autechre decided to go their own way, fine, you know, just don't expect me to call them "geniuses."
Tortoise: [Sigh] Alright, Achilles, I can see we're going to have to agree to disagree. I'm sorry to have wasted your time.
Achilles: Oh don't worry, dude, just wear headphones when you play that stuff.

the review's conclusion is that people have differing opinions on it, not really that good because the reviewer doesn't take a position but it's somewhat creative i guess.
