"Very few bands, if any, have B-sides as strong as early suede. The first disk of Sci-Fi is as good, if not better, as suede and dog man star. I think if disk one had been released as a 3rd anderson/butler's suede album it would rank alot higher on the site. Disk two is pretty forgetable however" Reply
"I saw some influences of trip hop here, and a little bit of Korn & Primus. Really good" Reply
"Yeah there shouldn't be a huge distance in the rankings. The band is just too underrated in general. One of the greatest doom releases ever, just a tad under Dopethrone." Reply

"Yeah, this album is awesome. I was about to buy it, but it is about $20. That's a lot of money for a disk. That's how much people like this album. it's just that good. it is still a high price(for a CD) after being released about 20 years ago. I actually ended up buying it today. It's a great album."

"Possibly my favourite band of all time. When I heard they were making another album I was a bit worried. What if it's crap? I was happy with their legacy. But not to worry, this is every bit as good s the two albums that preceded it (nothing beats Angel Dust). They didn't miss a beat.." Reply
"This E.P. was my first introduction to Aphex Twin. I'd never heard anything like it before and instantly loved it. The opening track is the most famous, but my least favorite. Faves: Flim, IZ-US.." Reply
