Yup. You've read it correctly. Lemme explain:


We have, like, gathered hundreds of threads about our fav remix or song over the years, so now it's time to put things in a different perspective. And this is not to disrespect the Brothers or anything. Actually, I think Tom & Ed also would like to know which song we fans dislike the most.


So like the title implies: what's your least favourite Chems song? And why?

How many track that you like remain then SLipvin? 2? 3? I don't like Swiper and Swastika Eyes Remix much. There's nothing deep in it. Noting special imo.

I like a lot of Chems tracks actually. Maybe my rant about PTB clouded your mind a bit, thinking that I dislike everything they made. Anyway, I'll get back on this one, have to check my collection first. But Shake Break Bounce might be a contender for worst Chems track ever. Like I said: I'll get back on this.

Haha! Yeah go checking. Is there actually no PTB track you honestly like?

But Shake Break has such a typical chems style, it's tweaky, it's not easy listening. It was something new in terms of style and a bit unexpected, not their best track grandet but not the worst ever.

Oh yeah, I like (from the top of my head) The Boxer, Believe, Surface To Air... But that's not what this topic's about.

I know. As you correctly said, my remembrances of you talking about PTB was always linked with rants about and bawling out this album.

for me now it would be 'HEY BOY HEY GIRL' but only cos my two girls aged 3 and 5 are still asking for it to be played in the car all the time it kind of loses its appeal!!

Left Right. Hands down.


I thought it was a mediocre hip-hop song with watered down political intentions.

@Mushypeeps - lol - Aw, come on. HBHG is always going to have camp appeal. Just go with it. ;-)

I'm sure Ed (and many of you) won't agree, but one of my least favourite track is... Chemical Beats.

Don't want to argue with you all about Left Right. But as for me it's a smart and bloody good track, espescially the synthline.

It's not the topic I know, but always I read about tracks I like being run down, an automatic defense function is activating instantly, sorry-

HBHG is Genre defining Acid Pop at it's best, I could never tire of it, love hearing it live, nothing sounds more spine tingling!


As for worst, Salmon Dance is a lot worse than Left Right, just seems like a filler to me (sorry)

I still laugh at the Salmon Dance. Suffice to say I definitely like it better than Left Right--I always will, too.

pnx - WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SMOKING

I'm sorry but i would never be able to figure out how "Chemical Beats" can be worse than "Shake Break Bounce". I understand it's your opinion, but that's just something that made me scratch my head...HARD. I'm not argueing, it's just my reaction.

I remember this topic was started a few years ago. And it did NOT turn out well.

But as for me:

Denmark

Galaxy Bounce (CWU version/context)

(Maybe) Morning Lemon

Left Right

A Modern Midnight Conversation


As seeing as those are my most disliked, it seems to me that the chems haven't out out much bad shit at all, as I find all those tolerable.
