Perhaps you think it is overrated because maybe you can't related to it.  For
me, I can related to it very much... im not speaking of the psychodelic edge
it has, but that i can related to the melodies.  I remember reading in an
interview that they create melodies that you are familiar with but can't quite
place.  IMHO, a loopy beat is alright with me if its accompanied by a nice
little tune.  I enjoy the little voices that creep up here and there on the
LP.  Especially the Hellinterface track on Mask2.  If I dig hard enough, I
probably have the original version of "Trapped" somewhere in my collection.
Yes, "Aquarius" was on the LP but in a slightly different version.  At first,
I thought it was the same but after a few listens its quite obvious that it is
different than the LP version.  As for "Chinook" it was only exclusive to the
seven inch.  Yeah, before you give it a final stamp of disapproval, try
reading some of the interviews to get a better insight to the Boards and what
they are trying to acieve, then give it another listen.
