recently got into this after devouring the rest of his earlier work (i, ii, iii, security) and am pretty much blown away
obv, i was always familiar with the singles from this album, but it's the non-singles tracks that really stand out for me
"we do what we're told" sounds like a boards of canada pop song "red rain" and "that voice again" are also amazing
i can't wait for his new album

Isn't there a thread?
It's my favorite big-budget period crossover, one which also happens to be his best album.

Glastonbury 1998, thursday, late afternoon. The entire second stage sound system is tested a day ahead of the bands coming on, by an incredibly bass-heavy and eardrum-wrecking blast of SLEDGEHAMMER. To a man/woman, everyone stops still on the grass and claps, smiles, woops it up generally or laughs out loud, looks around to see each other doing the same and the like. It's still the first thing i think of now whenever the song comes on.
And peter saville did the lp's sleeve!
