Right, and that's why I don`t like the 2nd ambum anymore. It is different
in a way that is not my taste.

yes, and its great!

IMO not. Partly it's just boring, unmotivated programming and then some
parts are just not at all pleasing to listen to (like Tied Up).

That might me your little private problem!
Next to my personal taste my criticism on Advance is, that it is
IMHO produced not very creatively. Very often it is predictable what is
coming. Standart build ups of a track (intro, more layers, rhythm,...) and
than a lot of tracks have fade-in and -out's, which to me is anything
other than creative and the used sounds are also not very refreshing (as
they are f.e. with Autechre).
Don't forget, that ther original question was, how people that liked
Frequencies like the Advance album. Sure, some people (like you?) might
like the Advance very much, no problem with that, but as you wrote
yourself both albums are very different and if he liked the 1st album, he
should at least listen to the 2nd before buying it to prevent a possible
dissapointment.
peace,
