A bit bland for a BOC track. Melody doesn't really stand out. 6/10.

Weird, Rue The Whirl is one of my favs. Loving Spectrum too.

747 = 8/10. Feels like watching the earth from a plane. A bit too long tho.

a very dreamy and innocent sounding track. the melody is very simple and the track is just about perfect in length, its long enough so that the track is interesting but doesnt carry on too long so that it gets boring. this is one of my favorite tracks from twoism. 8\10

9/10. Everything is perfect in that song. Alternative, electronic, rock, pop, mood, emotion - it's all there & a favorite in my discography from them. The vocals are a bit too much in the front, but it's Beck's song, not Boards of Canada's song, so I understand completely.

9/10, one of my favs on TCH. Too bad we can't properly hear the last half of the song due to the fade out...

7/10

Used to love this song but over time my interest has faded a bit. I think there are far better songs on Headphase.

4/10 - in the realm of stuff from AFOT that I just can't really bring myself to like all that much

10/10 (I'm sorry that's twice in a row, I swear I don't have that many 10s)

This was the track that stood out for me when I first listened to TH. Blew me away. It's definitely in my top 10 boc tracks. I actually felt like I'd been waiting to hear a song like that, I dunno it just clicked for me.

10/10

One of the top 5 best BoC tracks for me. Captures everything about BoC. I need to listen to it now.

Forgot to name a new track, so I'll use your avatar instead.

8/10 - great track and probably my second fav on Hi Scores behind Nlogax. The "chorus" is what I've always described as "the most badass elevator music in the world".

7/10. Purely because it's less clean and not mixed as well as the MHTRTC version, which is a 10/10 track and top 5 BoC for me.

XYZ really deviates from the traditional Boards sound with its washes of psychedelic guitar and punchy Aphex Twin-style beats. Seems like they made this shortly after shifting towards more psychedelic music. Can't usually sit through more than halfway though.
5/10
with the interview: 11/10

8/10, great minimal, percussion focused track. Would be a good, heavy live track if they were to tour.
