As a whole, Dostrotime is easily one of the most well-rounded Squarepusher albums, displaying his range as an artist while housing some of his nuttiest tracks.

Tom's still in form, it gives me high hopes for this year album coming (lowkey excited). Anyway, I clearly like this one, it feels like "Feed Me Weird Things" but ultimately more chill and topped with pretty neat use of acid synths.
Also, I might the only one who unironicly thought of geometry dash for some reason while listening to it, multiple times. (correct me if I'm wrong).
I'll probably relisten to it to see if I'm just spitting some kind of nonsense
