i find this REALLY hard to believe. i too have not heard the album in its entirety, but from a musician's standpoint, "the calling" is about as perfect a track as they come. the 303 programming is incredible. "the calling" was recently mentioned in keyboard magazine as being an example of near perfect 303 programming. to have given up so much room to have people dissing the album and calling it shitty is very surprising. i'll give the album a good listen before i start throwing out accusations of people jumping on the overbooked Dis Bandwagon. psiborg
