Great album. My 1st Orbitalalbum. I think the first track is my fav on this album, but I'm not sure. I like it though.

Best track is 3... Know where to run...
Many think this is a shit album coz it's nothing like their original stuff.. I hate The Altogether more (except meltdown.)
Insides is the best tho.... followed by Brown album. Check em out mate!

i think its shit. lacking in originality, clearly run out of ideas, and bordering on self-parody. the only saving grace is the john cravens newsround sample.

yeah I have Brown album, and I like it a lot, I've heard some tracks of In Sides which were ok...
I didn't like this album back 1st when I bought it (2001), but since then I've listened to it a couple of times and it seems to fit the winterseason pretty well.

I just think that by this time they had lost the spark that made them great, i think the first fours albums and the ep's they released before this were all really good but this album just seemed to be done by numbers.

it's ok, but I haven't listened to Orbital in a while anyways, let alone this album... Snivilization is personally my favorite Orbital album at the moment...

this was my first orbital, i always hear people slagging it off, great listen all the way through, the melodies are top notch, though i must say the percussion/beats aren't all that great, not so much that i find it annoying. it has the fly agaric thumbs up.

the problem of this album is that thte previous 4 lps and all the eps are absolute genious.
its true that in comparison it may seem weak, but its not, its a great album, not a weak track in it... I couldnt say its bettere than any of the previous works, but it is by no means a let down.
one of my fav albums

Yeah I love this one too. Great widescreen style production, nice melodies and a an original vibe all the way through.
I hate the altogether apart from Meltdown too, though.

altogether is indeed the weakest, but they really wanted to do kind of a "songs album"
not only meltdown is nice there... also: funny break doctor?

I don't like this album that much but it's not all bad. No way out is good. Even my sister used to borrow this cd just to listen to this one track.
Spare parts express, Nothing left 1&2 are ok too. I'm not that much into Orbital nowadays. Sounds too simplistic or something, altough that doesn't have to be a bad thing. Ambient can be very simplistic but excellent.

I like it. My third favourite Orbital album, I think, behind In Sides and Brown. It makes me think of it being Brown album II in many ways, actually... eight songs (minus the intro and outro on brown)... lots of tracks joining together... first single the ambient last track, second single being the one in two parts on the album, both being their most upbeat and dancey...
Only it's not quite as good as Brown.

I think MON is better than Altogether.
My friend mentioned something as we discussed what a let down the Altogether was.
He mentioned that the fact many people find it disappointing is because it has Orbital's name on it. If it would have been someone else that released Altogether or even MON, it would not have been looked down at so much.
I guess you just have really high expectations for Orbital after hearing their previous work, but MON is not all that bad though.
I love Spare Parts Express!
I hate Altogether except for a few select tracks.
I like Tension,FUnny Break, Doctor?.
Insides is great masterpiece.
Snivilisation is good too though.Love Forever!

I'm having a hard time determining which pre MON orbital I prefer. They're all sooo good. I'm currently adicted to the first track of snivilisation 'forever' (?)
Obviously I didn't get MON or The Altogether as they're (last time I dloaded em) shit.

I heard the soundtrack, sounded alot like in sides-type-stuff.
I'm a huge orbital fan. MON is a solid release in my opinion the vocals on style are gorgeous.

Ah, I'm now listening to Forever from Snivilisation as we speak. I found the album gets a bit weak in the middle, but some tracks, like Forever, are fucking outstanding.
I really like the Octane soundtrack, only it... well, it generally sounds nothing like Orbital. Lots of sparse dark ambient stuff. Very... well, soundtracky. ;) One of the synths they use a lot on it is the same that features heavily in Dwr Budr on In Sides, which is probably where that comparison came from.
I'm really looking forward to the new album. I have a feeling, for some reason, it's going to be far, far better than The Altogether... more cohesive and mature, a bit more like Sniv or In Sides.
