  • Summary: The title tells the story of this two-disc set, which includes remixes by Dntel, Boom Bip and Two Lone Swordsmen.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 9 out of 15
  2. Negative: 1 out of 15
  1. With the multifarious tributaries flowing effortlessly into the whole, I Thought I Was Over That has a diverse coherence that is hard to define and establishes itself as a distinct entity in its own right.
  2. A few songs are experiments that should have stayed in the studio; "Left-Handed Dub" is dreadful and the remixes by Flowchart and Two Lone Swordsmen are a bit dated--too ‘90s-sounding. But that's still only one tenth of the album, the rest of which is a pleasure.

    Laid-back and largely instrumental glitch-pop. [Jul 2005, p.186]
  4. Sadly, the album's consistency is also its failing; you can only take so much softness... before you're just listening to elevator music, and after 19 tracks that's what this becomes.
  5. Uncut
    70
    Shows Lali Puna's more adventurous side. [Aug 2005, p.110]
  6. If it were condensed down to one disc, it would appeal to more than the most devout.
  7. Sleepy, sporadic and inconsistent.

    Although the remixes get a little tiresome, the "new" content is quite good.

    i totally agree with RIchard H, the remixes are average (although To Rococo Rot's remix of Grin and Bear is fantastic), but the b-sides, i totally agree with RIchard H, the remixes are average (although To Rococo Rot's remix of Grin and Bear is fantastic), but the b-sides, rare tracks and new ones are amazing. Past Machine is my favorite track here and I hope the new Lali Puna recordings are as krautrock as this song. Collapse
