I've read quite a few comments from older SND fans condemning this one, but I thought it was a really interesting direction to go in. I don't think I'd use the word "glitch" in relation to it... there are little ticky sounds and everything sounds very sculpted, but the basis of the tracks is simple repeating chords and syncopated percussion. I think it was Lance on the IDM list who said it was kind of lounge, even. Whatever it is, it's certainly more varied than previous SND releases, if anyone's heard older stuff and been put off by how similar their tracks can be from one to the next.
