I don't know... i really like Snivilization, so much in fact, it is my
favorite Orbital album, there's really only one poor track on it, and
that's that 2 minute long "industrial" pile of dung, but the rest of the
songs are incredible! How can you deny "Are We Here?"
anyways, my 2 cents... everyone's different.
