Not trying to be an ass here, but from Joshua's response to the album, i wouldn't take his opinion to be worth much at all.
No Autechre album is going to click after hearing it 3 times, and from the early sounds of it, this album seems far from "boring".
They took the rhythms back to what they were doing in the late 90's, more structure and definition, and they seem to have gone back to including a harder tone through-out the recording.. I'm excited to hear the second disc.
FYI: i'm a huge fucking Ae fan, i love almost everything they've ever done.
