Another not-actually-a-review topic.

I quite like reason 2:
"SUBTLETY.
A passive half-listen while you’re doing the dishes or making dinner just won’t really hack it with ‘Tomorrow’s Harvest’. Boards of Canada are about as subtle as you can get, and they only appear to have learnt how to be more so in the 8-year hiatus since ‘The Campfire Headphase’. Some of this seemed to get slightly lost through hosting a live stream of ‘Tomorrow’s Harvest’: which, after all the cryptic hoo-ha build-up, promised that something monolithic was going to come with the big reveal. But instead what came was a Boards of Canada album: hazy, mysterious and very, very subtle. While many loved the collective listening experience, whole sections of Twitter appeared to be crying out, “Where’s the drop?”, as many appeared to be getting their IDMs and their EDMs tragically mixed-up."
