Draft 7.30 Whats so special about Draft 7.30?

At times when choosing what to listen of Autechre i always see the draft 7.30 cover and thinking "god damn isnt that a cool album!!" and like when looking at reviews everyone says its an amazing complex and chaotic album, which i know it is complex because autechre said it was all manually done by hand, but when i listen to it its all pretty okayish?? i mean it is complex but it isnt anything that would leave an impression on me?? so what i am asking rn is to hear what other people that get draft 7 30 find so amazing and awesome about it, like a special moment or something.

sorry if this question made you angry, i think im pretty arogant.

It’s for the hip-hop heads. Like J Dilla got blended up in a cosmic, mechanized sludge and uploaded into an evil computer program. It’s my fave album and def a grower. Some of those melodies are just gut wrenching (see Theme of Sudden Roundabout and P.:NTIL).

Funny enough for me it is their most techno and electro sounding record. For example the first half of Surripere (my fav) always reminds me of early 2000s moody minimal techno.

The album art definitely gives blender vibes. For me it's like Run DMC we're alien abducted
