No one was expecting an album like this after such a long hiatus. Ridiculously non conformist and highly original considering what was expected and that's the beauty of it. It's not a late attempt at Trip hop or an album begging to be loved to rely on past glories. Machine Gun is still the best song released in this decade just because it refuses to adhere to basic songwriting principles yet everyone remembers it.

You really don't know what you are going to get with this album and pigeon holing it into basic Electronic music is a huge disservice. Nothing has come close to being so utterly perplexing for years.
