It just seems like the guys found a CD full of samples they'd never used
before, and proceeded to throw them together in a big pile of crap. What
the hell were they thinking 'remixing' a Tool song? Yee Gods, that's one of
the worst tracks I've heard in eons.
Middle of Nowhere was a masterpiece in comparison, and Orbital now have a
new worst album (old title going to Snivilization, which I do really like,
but it IS/WAS Orbital's worst)

Subject: Re: [idm] Orbital - The Altogether
I hear you on this. This album is complete trash. I really enjoyed
Middle of Nowhere, and was hoping for an even better progression from
these guys, but they decided to take a right hand turn into the alleyway
of no-talent. For any Orbital fans on the list, do NOT buy this record.
Ugh.
