i think i wasn't really in the mood for this album this year so far and i've forced myself to listen because it's squarepusher, but i recognize that even with the handicap of no live bass, it's a good album. i'm also listening to his previous albums and EPs having put them off due to mixed and negative reactions from press and fans, and these are mostly good. i'm trying to learn my lesson of not letting other people get in my head and put me off of listening to my favorite artists, but it's tough.
