 I know a bunch of people are panning this, because who wants to listen to the same old spastic math-rock again, but I'm digging it. I'm pretty sure I've liked everything Hella has put out. Maybe it helps to listen to techno all the time and then pull this out...

 Michael- this was a tough one to get through. It's kind of my favorite thing that Hella has done, but it's also a bit of a mess- what to do, what to do. At any rate, I realize that it might sort of sound like I'm panning it; this is probably my own fault of inarticulateness, because I only intended to say that it's an album with both big rewards and big issues.

 yeah, i thought "speakerboxxx/love below" WAS the "Speakerboxxx/love below" for the indie set.
