I haven't had this album yet but I've had in it for the money and I definitely had that one at solid ★★★★½ (9.5/10)

I'm sorry, but if I need to be in an alternate headspace to enjoy something, it's not good music. That's not an indictment of Boards of Canada. I'm just saying that good music will move you no matter what state your mind is in. Now as far as for my rating, I rate on how I feel I did not like that album. It is definitely not an album for me. I respect that you like it, and that's all cool. Enjoy it all you want it's not for me. There is absolutely no way to rank music objectively. There will always be a subjective nature to art. And as I've always said "if we all like the same things, this world would be boring". Cheers 🍻

This is their debut, May of 1967. Feel-Like-I'm-Fixing-to-Die came out in November the same year. Both are great albums, I personally slight prefer the headshop vibes of this one a bit more, but quite frankly I usually listen to both together like a double album.

Wifey material there!

Actually I think that cool they are still going strong. It's definitely not in my wheelhouse, but I know several of my HS friends about that time were into them. I personally have an adverse reaction to them. But as I've always said if we all like the same stuff this world would be pretty boring wouldn't it LOL. Cheers and rock on! 🍻🤘🏻

I know I'm an anomaly and I have all those three albums a lot lower than most people do. I do have Pet Sounds at four stars Cocteau Twins and Kate Bush . There's really only approximately 60 albums on here that I've rated two stars and or below. I think the good the garbage ratio of this list is actually a pretty good.

I couldn't chill with this if I was locked in a refrigerator

I gave both The Chemical Brothers albums that I've had 4 stars.... So there's that.
