I also thought "live at the social" was better than "Brothers Gonna Work It Out"

I was gonna post a topic, but figured this one was good enough (since anyone not wanting spoilers and WATN info wouldn't really read this)
The main chorus (especially the beginning) of All Rights Reversed....
Did anyone else immediately flash to Red Alert, by Basement Jaxx? It's uncanny...

I'm not sure but I don't think there are any Jaxx samples used, it's just ed n tom fuckin with those babies they've got in the studio - damn - i still can't get over that main roland pic in the gear section - it's like FUCK!!!
anyway, noone noticed any eastern vibes creeping into the brothers' music off n on? or is it just me? i'll come back with examples when i sight them again. some very indian. the arabic stuff also once in a while more recently.

I have listened to this album non stop for the past two days. IT IS UNREAL!!
I cannot bloody wait to hear A Modern Midnight Conversation live!! And Burst Generator again (as at Fabric I didn't know what were new Chemical Brothers songs and what wasn't - oh and I was off my face on MDMA :P).
At first I was a bit skeptical of this album...but now having heard it over and over and letting it grow on me...I've fallen in love with it, just like every other Chemical Brothers album.
Is anyone else bummed that Saturate is EBW8? I love it, totally....but it's one less 'new' song to listen to ;).
Can't wait to get the DIA single...amazon shows it having two B Sides!

*sings*
we are the nights eyes
we are the bright eyes
listening to it i think when it was sung they just sang:
we are the night
we are the bright eyes
but by using cunning re-sampling skullduggery theyve made the last section on the first line go ''ss eyes'
jesus christ thats geeky.

Okay after reading this whole topic I'm at the point where my eyes are just blurring and wondering whats going on.
I now feel like the only person here who is actually waiting till it gets released before I hear it. I know bad chems fan...in some ways....but I'm sorry if rely on all my frineds for internet access right now.
My thoughts though on WATN.....you guys are just putting me through hell....Why can't it be July!!!
Also what is it with the label always pushing the rrelease date back on us. They did it with CWU and now there doing it with WATN (for us in North America at least).
EITHER THEN THAT...No more opinions from me on the album till I hear it....or have a new opinion

I toked up again last evening (heavy this time), and I got a few guilty pangs for the first time - since this is the first chems album i'm hearing pre release and not on high audio quality.
That apart, I discovered on deep dive, this is again a brilliant psychedelic masterpiece - it doesn't just look one on the outside. I was very disconnected (since I was toking up some very good shit after many months), and this album's pretty much sid material.
Damn, I'm feeling guilty again thinkin about it, I've decided I'm gonna buy 3 cds the first day itself (instead of the 2 planned), whenever July 2nd finally rears it's beautiful head - I REALLY cant wait for the real audio quality of this - damn these mp3s are starting to get to me now. I want the whole experience.
