RDJ album is not poor at all (IMHO). At first I felt like that too, but after
about 20 listenings I actually started to like it. The tracks have the best
structure he has ever had in his tracks and they're just short enough not to
make you hate the bloody drums which make you nervous. As someone else on this
list already pointed out to someone who was accusing the tracks being too
short, would you really like to listen to them any longer than they last? Not
me.. they're just fine as they are. I've liked both the HABs and RDJ Album,
but I certainly hope his next record won't be aphexy drum'n'base but something
totally new. By releasing Richard D. James Album he showed everyone what he's
capable of doing with the machines.
