Lets Face it, BoC with each release leave that style behind for an updated one, and in this case with Geogaddi they have gotten a little more abstract and experimental. Sure they still have there glitched out beats with there non-organic samples of little childeren and nature documentaries, but they are are a different BoC and the fact that they have challenged themselves to step outside There Own Box, i think with a little time this one will grow on us...like Chemical Brothers and Underworld albums we always seem to nitpick them and state that there previous album was better, well what makes good artists is there constant change and evolution. Geogaddi has plenty of there Beaty and tracks with lots of disturbed and meloncholy melodies such as Music is Math and 1969, but now they have a lot more of this strange ambient sound mixed with an anxious yet different IDM sound Gyroscope--The Beach At Redpoint--You Could Feel The Sky and Alpha and Omega, which was unexpected.

I truly enjoy this album and I give props out to BoC for not letting the fans get to their heads and redoing a second version of MHtRtC.

P.S. GYROSCOPE is one of my favorite BoC tracks =P
