I've decided that you're right for the most part. The album get very diluted after 1000BPM, but up until then (and that's the 11th track) it pretty much rocks my socks off. I'm a big fan of this cooler-than-most white boy, but I think I'm also a fair judge of his music; not everything he did so far was brilliant, Sea Change being the low point, but The information rates right up there with Odelay and Guero as some of his best work. I love a good beat, I love his white boy rapping and I love that he's gone eclectic but still retained his characteristic style...Plus, this is probably the most original CD I ever bought, with the make-your-own-cover and the bonus DVD with the coolest videos ever that complement the music so perfectly.

So no, I wouldn't say it's for die hard fans only or completists. There's plenty to choose from in those 11 songs, some songs even better than "Girl".
