Yes, but now it's nothing BUT aphex being humorous, before it was just him,
and his work,.. Donkey Rhubarb, yeah maybe.. but even that track is good
compared to this shit he pumps out today. As far as I'm concerned Come to
Daddy was garbage, more acurately, skillful garbage.. but nonetheless,
garbage. (for the most part at least, I think iz-us is a cool track, funny
little man is cool.. and bucepholus has some nice bits,.. but all in all the
album was obviously not taken seriously in the least by rdj which I believe is
bullshit.) One could argue that he never took any of his work seriously, my
advice to those people is to stop listening to what comes out of his mouth and
simply just pay attention to what his music has to say.

'...I care beacuse you do' was a very powerful album. You have to consider the
difference between humor that is part of an album as a whole and humor that is
purely the purpose of the album. There's a really HUGE difference.
