i have to say, i wouldn't have put it like this but i have to agree with your assessment. i was disgusted the first 2 or 3 times i heard ring road. but then the vocoded bits suddenly struck me as lovely and the character of the song charmed the pants off of me. now i love the track, but i realize that affection is an anomaly. if any other musical act had produced it, i would have never forgiven it. but as it stands, i absolutely adore it now in spite of the fact that i completely understand why people hate it.

i love it, but i would be too embarrassed to blast it in my car with the windows down. i don't want to be overheard listening to it. but i love it love it love it. it's a love that dare not speak its name.
