[Anonymous]Sep 9, 200610A great follow-up to 1998's "Music Has The Right To Children", this one has some truly outstanding songs. "Over The Horizon Radar" might just be the best Boards of Canada song ever written.

CrocO'DileApr 8, 20029Mood music in the best possible sense of the term; fascinatingly evocative and mysterious.

DasRJan 12, 20101I give this one star for the effort of actually publishing this noise. I've listened to the whole album in its entirety and let me tell you, it was a battle! The only purpose I see for this album would be to put you to sleep, but I have a fan that does that well enough. If you found this album thought provoking, creative, or a masterpiece of any sort, do me a favor and lay off the drugs.

greebsandMar 28, 20026I like this band , but parts of this album just creep me out. If I wanted a bad acid trip I'd fork over half the money the disc cost me for --b-a-d -a-c-i-d.

SeanP.Oct 5, 200710Hey, [Anonymous}, did you mean the song "Dawn Chorus", which is right AFTER "Over The Horizon Radar"? "Horizon Radar" is only a minute-long fragment, while "Dawn Chorus" is my favorite track on the album. Of course, the album is great from beginning to end.

JohnM.Feb 25, 200210Brilliant. But darker than its predecessor. They make the most natural sounding music around. It's like nature singing to you.

KonstantinosA.Mar 18, 20029Amazing. It's music for 2002. The shorter tracks are like music you hear on documanteries about sea-bed wildlife... :-)

mnkyJan 5, 20048sonically evolved from the "Music Has the Right....cd" Geogaddi is less produced (less butter......more trips)......BOC is one of the few bands that either cares too much or don't give a damn.........either way......revolutionary.

BenjaminBunnyApr 1, 20049Like listening in on a series of disturbing childhood dreams--or reliving your own.

SophieMOct 18, 20079This album is fantastic. I agree with what some other people have said, it sounds like old childhood memories and dreams. There are lots of tracks here, and when I first started listening I wasn't sure, but soon they just become stuck in your mind. Not for everyone, but honestly try it out, I hope you'll find it as great as I did.

NickPJul 29, 20039There is so much to explore on this dark journey into occultism, childhood, drug use, nature, paranoia and eventual releif. What sets Geogaddi that mark above Music Has The Right... is simply that it is more polished, more cohesive and thought out. Astonishing attention to detail.

MacMSep 28, 200310Music as daring, scopic and inventive as this just doesn't seem to be made any more.

GCBDec 27, 20079When will I listen to this album and not discover something that I've previously missed? A truely mesmerizing experience every time its heard.

90For the most part, Geogaddi only hints at new directions. But then, if it ain't broke, why fix it? [Apr 2002, p.78]

100Geogaddi is successful as few other albums are. Whereas many artists and groups tend to released records composed of series of unrelated songs, songs based on single concepts, or songs written and recorded during single studio sessions, Boards of Canada's latest has done something exponentially spectacular and commendable.

80It's a thoroughly satisfying album, but surprises are in short supply. [May 2002, p.120]
