i'm going purely on what it sounds like,rather than complexity and all that,but for me mikes album bored me.it didn't seem to go anywhere,and it reminded me of the ambient stuff that was about in the early 90's ,a little too pretentious .for someone as tallented as mike boo i was expecting a lot, lot more. but then again i suppose it's like any artist where you hear some of there stuff and really love it,then you expect all the rest of there stuff to be along the same lines.then when it's not and they've taken a new direction your gutted.for me that was boos album.
