First couple of tracks and I was really on board with it but it seems like from track 3 on every time he has something going on he piles more and more chopped up rhythmic and glitchy stuff over the top. And I mean, I can listen to glitch and I can listen to breakcore but this is all so at-the-same-level it kind of bores my ears really quickly.
There are bits in a lot of the tracks that are genius, don't get me wrong. I just don't see myself sitting through the rest of it to get at them.
It seems you may have uncovered the reason why it's good! The small, small details that suddenly come out ONLY after listening to the tracks more than once. It may seem like it's the same as VHS Head is presenting a certain style, however the layers of depth unfold when you can commit to the songs.
You make a valid point with saying that it can get boring and you don't feel the depth as this happened to me for many albums/artists, but I thought I wouldn't be giving the album an honest chance if I couldn't sit through it a few times. So I have adopted this method for difficult albums. I think if you do like some songs, you owe it to yourself to enjoy the listening experience!
Great new music seems so hard to come by these days, and when I first saw the stylized name on the cover on the net, I was intrigued, but then after listening to it I quietly thought to myself that this was gonna get big. Sure enough, it started off a little slow as most of these low-key artists do, but I've watched the hype start building....many people can't be wrong if they only have one album to go off of (i.e. not hyped because of consumer branding or popularity).
