I never quite understood the love that album gets sometimes. I still think it's an unlistenable mess.
Have you heard the expanded version with all the extras? That second disc with the extended "Check My Machine" and "Secret Friend" and "All You Horse Riders" I find more enjoyable than the album proper. Basically I like to think of the whole as a weird, heavily electronics-dependent double-album with a half-dozen or so proper pop songs that seem weirder than they are due to their very status as exceptions to the overall weirdness.
Give it another five years or so, and ...
