i agree....  i do wish there were more "my sound" style tracks
(emotionally engaging)...but the album as a whole needs to be taken into
account...  the first few listens through were with excitement of the new
album...the next 10 or so i kinda gave up on it...due to the almost boring
feeling of it...but as with Plastikman's Consumed...it took quite a few
listens to enjoy it to its fullest...and it takes more than throwing it on
the decks and letting it play as background.
