All I can say is try listening to it loud. If you're not really paying attention or listening too quiet you won't really get much out of it. It's one of those tracks. I felt the same for a while.
As for Royksopp...I only have Melody AM, any of their other stuff worth checking out ?? I've heard mixed reviews. I really loved the first two tracks of Melody AM, especially "So Easy", although I guess they pretty much stole it wholesale from Burt Bacharach, so I'm guessing there aren't any other tracks like that in their discography...still??

I listened to OWB last night and Glam Bucket isn't bad. I warmed up to it more over the years. I guess it's my least favorite track on the album. The other one I feel is the least impressive is To Heal. I like both Glam Bucket and To Heal, and I like Cuddle Bunny, but those three tracks would be my least favorite tracks on the album. They are low tier, you could say. Middle tier tracks for me are Boy, Boy, Boy, Ring Road, Holding the Moth, and Loads of Birds. Upper tier tracks from OWB (my favorite tracks) are Crocodile, Beautiful Burnout, Good Morning Cockerel, and my two most favored tracks, Faxed Invitation and Best Mamgu Ever.
As for Royksopp's 2nd and 3rd album, try checking out the majority of each album on youtube. I'm sure you can find at least most tracks from both albums on youtube, and hear the songs for free. Then you can decide if you want to purchase either one, or both. Melody A.M. is great, but the 2nd and 3rd album; I don't think the same. Some kind of techno pop on those albums. On Amazon, you can buy The Understanding for $5 (their second album). So if you like some of the songs on it, you can't go wrong with a $5 album (btw, it is the MP3 download store, I'm not talking about the physical album purchase).
