dude, like n:h said.. It sounds all too clean. n:h seems to like that but I
dont. That clean, refined sound is the antithesis of why I liked earlier
BoC. They got arguably: 1) less hip-hoppy, 2) less analogy-mellowy-smooth,
and 3) less 'unrefined' and raw. I didnt hear hi scores until after I hda
heard MHTR either, but the time elapsed since the production makes no
difference. MHTR adn Hiscores -are- way different, but the difference
between the new EP and the style i heard in those two and the MASK100 track
is vastly greater. Props to the MASK100 track btw. if they had went that way
or even cloned MHTR, (which MHTR was kindof a clone of iteself ANYWAY), I
would haev been more pleased with what they put out.
Granted, I still respect BoC alot I think theyre great, and I'll still kick
back to the new EP. I juts had high expectations that were dropped -
autechre and RDJ and MoM and metamatics and stuff like that fail to
disappoint me so... bu its hard to compare such geniuses of different
styles.
