Not an OWB fan at all, are you? That's cool. Except that apparently the record is pretty much exactly what Rick wanted to make (according to Karl interview), so future output might be more akin to OWB than say STITI.
That said, i listened to OWB twice today, and it really has grown on me a lot, particularly the last several tracks. "Faxed Invitation" for example and "Mamgu..." are new favorites. My only real complaint is the pacing seems off. Too much frontloading of dancier tracks, then the weird break that is "To Heal", and too much ambient later on.

Oh, and i gave Laidback Luke and Fake Blood another try. LL still=gross. FB is cheesetastic, in a good way!
