Is it just me, or have Squarepusher releases just been going down the drain lately? Overall: 'Music Is Rotted...' was great, lots of interesting noises, depth and development (and kept it up over 15 tracks); 'Budakhan Mindphone' was okay, beautiful first track but didn't really hang together; 'Maximum Priest' was average, with not enough development and too many 'well, I've got this, why not stick it in' moments; and 'Selection Sixteen', apart from Square Rave, Schizm Track #1 and Time Borb, was awful - effortless jazz bits, aimless drumrolls, painful noises. About 13 tracks too long in my opinion. Is he going down the Quantity Not Quality route, or is just running out of inspiration?
