I love most of his work. Drukqs is his weakest (but still good!) album IMO - Avril 14th is a great track. His Analord series is also amazing and Rushup Edge under another alias - The Tuss.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but this take seems absolutely out of pocket to me. Drukqs is Rich’s most well-rounded, polished, and arguably revolutionary project. From a sound design and arrangement perspective it still sounds contemporary, more than 20 years on. It’s also the only one of his albums besides SAW 85-92 of which I like every track (and love most of them).

You do you, but maybe give it another dedicated listen and you might change your mind! :)

Made me laugh. We all have our tastes and loves/hates. Accept it.

Clearly I do accept it since that’s what I said in the quoted text??

Interesting... Drukqs was my introduction to RDJ when it was released and to be honest I have never really gone back to give it a dedicated listen. Perhaps his other works stand out more to me because it was released (or I discovered them) later. Thanks for the comment; I'm going to revisit the album and maybe reconsider!
