saw the chemical brothers live at a festival a few years ago, had a really good time. I guess their new album is probably rubbish, but young teenage boys will probably love it, and it will be their entry point into better music. That's the fun part about music, the journey. I started off listening to "rubbish" music, but moved on and discovered increasingly better and better music. I was out record shopping yesterday and still showed naiveity about lots of artists and genres, but that means there's still plenty for me to discover and enjoy. The petshop boys had a good album with Please, but then rapidly decended into rubbish. Fatboy slim has released a few decent songs in the early days, a bit like the chemical brothers. Cuntychuck's point is so true, there are bands which are mostly considered rubbish, but for me at a certain time in my life were essential. Sometimes music being good/bad isn't about it's merits as a song, but the effect it has on a person. |

Saturate is fantastic (the intro in particular is great) and I'd love to hear a much longer (8-11 minute long version) as well as some remixes. To my ears at least, everything else on the album, however, is decidedly mediocre and far below the standard of their usual output. |

brothers gonna work it out IS very good, i always liked their dj sets, full of mantronix and stuff a few of the tracks off dig your own hole are sick as well (elektrobank especially), no nonsense stupid dance music |

they reached perfection on "surrender", then moved on pretty well to "come with us"....then something got broken, maybe one of their best synths...? |

truth, but the heavenly social mix they did is fucking badass |

i think surrender is a really good album. also agree with cunty on fatboy slim's 'youve come a long way'. it's good. |

i have no probs with either fatboy or the chems - as far as their 1990's work is concerned... their post-millennium works have been overwhelmingly underwhelming. The latest chem bros album is ridiculous and trite, but I can still go back to something like Dig Your Own Hole (or, for that matter, You've Come A Long Way Baby) without shame or regrets. |

I listened to this again, still not very good, is it? A couple of decent tracks thrown amidst a sea of mediocrity. Of course, compared to Push the Button, this might be considered 'improvement' but... Oh well, I cave in, I'll take 'We Are The Night' seriously as an album for a moment. So here's my track-by-track review, gridded into a PATENTABLE colour/number scheme: 01: No Path To Follow - Black - 3/10 02: We Are The Night - Yellow - 6/10 03: All Rights Reversed - Grayblue - 6/10 04: Saturate - GreenWhitenoise - 5/10 05: Do It Again - Quicksilver - 5/10 06: Das Spiegel - Indigochildren - 6/10 07: The Salmon Dance - definitelyNotBlue - 6/10 08: Burst Generator - Rubbish(colour'd) - 4/10 09: A Modern Midnight Conversation - WhiteRed - 7/10 10: Battle Scars - Lightwhite - 6/10 11: Harpoons - hmm? - 3/10 12: The Pills Won't Help You Now - OrangeWhite 6/10 OVERALL - GreenPurpleHaze - 5/10 --------------------- GOOD DAY SIR |

well as long as they're having fun, and they don't bother me, then I'm fine with whatever they're doing these days i heard they bought a cuntload of expensive vintage gear to make this album, but it all just sounds digital and computerized to me... or is it because they just don't know how to work an arp 2600 properly |
