hearing known1 for the first time was a real wtf moment, i had to double check that it was real when oversteps first leaked because it sounded so unlike anything they had done. I hated it for a while but now it's one of my favorites on the album. Similarly, I could tell Exai was a really great album but it took some time for me to really WANT to listen to it, now it's one of my most revisited.

damn this sounds a billion times better than the stream

These tracks demonstrate why Autechre are a class apart from any other act. They've raised the bar.
definitely. I was excited for an album of AE_live sounding stuff but this really exceeded all expectations. This stuff is advanced but still instantly enjoyable and memorable for me.

Sorry, it was a bit of a drunken rant.
It could honestly be one of those things where years later it clicks for me and it's amazing (like Autechre did a few years back), but for the time being it's cringeworthy. From a sound design standpoint it's fairly cool, but I don't find the tracks cohesive or anything. Very ADD.
I'll refrain from commenting anything negative just for the sake of, sorry if I offended anyone.
Edit: the execution of what I've heard so far of this record and r+7 somehow sounds pretentious, that bothers me too. Like it's some kind of higher art project rather than just someone trying to make music... I don't know.
for what it's worth, this happened to me. At one time, especially at the height of the r+7 hype I thought opn was totally overrated and sounded just bad and cheesy in a way I couldn't get on board with. somewhere down the line I gave replica a chance again which I ended up really liking, so I revisited his stuff and it just started to click. I thought Commissions II was especially really good, I think opn and autechre share a lot of similar qualities, mainly the way that they'll sort of drop in a single section or sound that totally makes the rest of an otherwise patience-trying song worth listening to. anyway - I'm really excited for the new album.

I don't think he's released any songs that are post 2001 yet, all of the songs that have threads of later releases and the genesis of certain ideas seem to indicate to me that he had been sitting on and developing these sorts of structures and melodies and ideas for a lot longer than I personally could have even imagined. it's really fucking cool!

This album is so alien and amazing. I've always liked it, but my appreciation for it is at an all time high.

got my blerp vinylz today (Monday) in flyover nowheresville midwest usa
DAMN!!!
I'm not pre-ordering from Bleep again. I live in LOS FUCKING ANGELES and my package tracking says…
- "Expected Delivery Day: Thursday, September 25, 2014"
That's what I get for pre-ordering the instant it goes live.
If it doesn't come with crazy swag, I'm gonna raise hell.
I feel you, I'm also in LA. Mine (ordered from bleep) also hasn't come yet, I went ahead and just bought another copy from Amoeba yesterday.

I showed my mom the Gantz graf video once ages ago - it really helped her to follow along with the song, she thought it was really cool.

This album is seriously good. Lots of shinning moments, lots of great songs and moods, especially digging the second half, a lot of the songs I didn't like on my initial listen are now proving to be my favorites which is typical for me of his work
-
This album is only improving as time goes on, still quite possibly my favorite of 2013

After shelving this for a bit and listening to it again today this record hit me in a way it hasn't previously. I was definitely a fan of it before to begin with, but now it's really 'clicked' Bravo Autechre, this really is a great record.

I'M GONNA SQUIRT!
This might be my most anticipated album release of my entire living life.

I couldn't resist:

After spending a long time listening to this, I gave it like a 4 day break, and then when I picked it back up it was even more spectacular than before, I really think this will keep a high position in the overall Autechre discography in the future. Runrepik is especially a highlight for me. Honestly, while obviously I hear influence from nearly all of their releases on this, I think it's closest to Untilted/Quaristice, which I'm very pleased with.

it kills me that this is such low quality but it's still SO good.
