I think Push The Button feels best as an album - not saying that all the tracks on it are the Chems' best work, but they gel together nicely. It is hard though, as all of the Chems' albums are a journey, they do it better than anyone else.

I suppose it's because Push The Button doesn't really have any tracks that annoy me, maybe Shake Break Bounce sometimes, but on the whole it's good. On all of the other albums, there is a track that annoys me a little bit. It's weird, coz I like the track, it just sort of bugs me when listening to the whole album. Good example would be Don't Stop The Rock - it's a good track, but annoys me on the album. Or Music:Response on Surrender, seems to pick up so much when it's played live, be due to the different sequencing or just the fact that it's shorter.

I think your love for Push The Button goes deeper than it simply not having any tracks that annoy you!! ;) I remember you defended it so valiently you suggested one forum member go check out Auschwitz since he disliked Push The Button so much. X-D Hardcore!!



I was going through the forum trying to find my first "real" post about Push The Button and I found it. I still get these same twinges of feelings - of being blown away - when I hear Push The Button. I've had to give it a rest and shelve it so I wouldn't suffer burnout, but Push The Button is a solid work for me with enough diversity, ups and downs from thudding head fucks to gentle sways of ethereal psychadelic goodness that I feel has weathered time and will continue to age well like a damn fine wine. It still is everything I want in an album. Yeah, coming back to what I wrote brings it all back, Push The Button is definitely one of my favorite albums in my collection. I fuckin love it. The senses tingling... I cannot wait to feel that again when the new one comes out.

Gotta say, I heard this record.



It is solid. Solid fucking golden genius.



There is not a thing I dislike about it. It's everything I want in a record. And yet it's nothing I bothered to seek in a record, because that's asking a lot. And in reality, that's not always possible... if ever.



This record is about power, emotion, the heart, the mind. I really do think, without sounding like a stark raving fanatical lunatic, that there is real soul in this record. It is... it's so human because it has the power to impact on so many levels, if you stash your prejudices and open your minds and hearts and let this fucker in. Very seldom do I experience a record where it is the sum of all its parts, a concept that takes you on a whimsical journey through the most amazingly crafted soundscapes - where one minute you are adrift on a haunting vocal melody, the next you are marching on the front lines of a battlefield, the next you are wondering if it's proper to feel a bit naughty as the primal beat does more than make you want to tap your feet to the rhythm, the next you are floating about - it could either be the universe or underwater - but you know you're in aural ecstasy, and the abrupt end that feels like an instantaneous gush of air entering your lungs after you've held your breath for so long.



I don't know how they did it, and really I don't think that matters - but they created these landscapes of the mind and body and personified them in song.



Jaysus, what an incredible, epic journey! If this means I am in the minority, then I'll happily go along the journey with my new and few friends...

Memories.......!

I don't remember saying that! Makes me sound like a right c**t out of context, I'm sure I must have had reason for saying that!

Still, I had a point X-D

No no, man. It was hilarious!! Remember poor equinoxe and the beating he got here?

How can a man from Poland have such a prejudiced, closed mind?

Go visit Auswitz and open your mind.

Has to be Surrender for me. They all get their time in the sun from me, though. I do probably listen to Dig Your Own Hole the least.

With each new album, the Chemical Brothers don't reinvent the wheel so much as rotate the tires. None of their studio albums, including Come With Us, their fourth, have been dramatically different, sonically, from one another - they're all furious sets of wired rhythms and sasquatch kick drums.

That said, the slowly blooming "Star Guitar," wherein a dreamy melody hatches from an array of Ritalin beats, is evidence of a band that is increasingly drawn to disorientingly lush tunes rather than to mere adrenaline anthems. Likewise, "Hoops," lit up with a shimmering double helix of acoustic guitar, is twisted psychedelia that is more strangely beautiful than the Eighties work of the Butthole Surfers.



It's not that Come With Us doesn't rock like a jet engine in a jewel case - it does - but it's more striking for the moments when a warped loveliness, like the icy, phased harpsichord gusts of "Pioneer Skies," wafts up and out from among the roar of the sirens and sequencers. The album title itself is a little ironic, though: The Chemical Brothers are patiently finessing their sound, paused by the side of the road and waiting for the rest of the world to catch up with their hyperkinetic, gorgeous beats.

best album evarrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!! 8)

I don't wanna mind others peoples bussines but ChemicalFan is like on of the most peacefull people i know ;)



So it's all good.

CWU for me I think. Push the button got my mate home and back to Glasto after she arrived to discover she'd forgot her ID. Hoops may have been more appropriate as god knows how many times she went round again. X-D

Apologies to Csar and anyone else offended by my previous comments, and thanks to whirly for posting the original link allowing me to vindicate myself!

Yeah, I was pretty hammered when I made that comment, as explained a few posts later....



Thanks for the support, J 8)

for me DYOH is my fave.



my i think all the others are ace as well.



and i was suprised when i first heard PTB, in fact i wasnt sure i liked it. but then after a few goes i think its one of their strongest works. always a good sign of an album - if your not sure about it at first - growers def tend to be stickers.
