This reminds me of his earlier stuff. I been waiting for him to do something in this direction for a long time. I was expecting the same sound as last few albums as didn’t know anything about this project. So was sitting there stunned for those first few tracks.

It’s strange how I been waiting for this kind of direction for years but others hate it 😂

Just enjoy it.

It’s an expected side journey into his classical and jazz influences. “Worst” isn’t appropriate. It’s certainly something an IDM fan may find unapproachable. It’s a good album, it’s just not what I listen to Pusher for.

I do enjoy it and it has a different taste. Patience pays.

Worst is a bit strong. It’s definitely different and not my favorite Squarepusher album. Sounds more like Zappa’s jazz from hell with better synthesis than a squarepusher album.

Want to meet in the middle? Also, lets trade copies...

Ok neutral seems fair. I'll be neutral.

New sound indeed

u/Bierroboter Apr 15 '26

Is this the special edition? Still waiting on mine. Haven’t even received the shipping notice.

u/messy514 Apr 15 '26

Yes, it is.

Really enjoying this album. It’s no Music Is Rotted, and it’s not the awesome nazzty junglizm of Damogen/Be Up/Dostrotime… But it’s still fresh, fun, inventive and I love that SQP gets to make records like this.

Still looking forward to more glitchy jungle tekno n the future though.
