I have yet to encounter an idm album that isn't at least 50% filler. Autechre reaches vertiginous musical highs but IMO the vast majority of their tracks are dull and unenjoyable. The same can be said of pusher, AFX (well not always), all rephlex and warp acts. As long as I get the the one killer track per album I'm happy with it. What matters is the 50% of good stuff. I don't like the whole boc album either but the 4 or 5 excellent tracks that it has are really essential to me now.
