the graph is showing how their music has stretched from their original sound.... not to show which album is the best.....should have made that more clear





experimental big beat = yes, i made that up :D

Bosco's graph is just one man's interpretation of the music. It's not gospel or anything!

The points on the graph remind me of breasts.

Nice observation, Tim. Things that make you go hmmmm. And it was Bosco that made it... X-D

well i think the actual god will have a better sense of fashion in glasses than you. ;-)

good effort with the graph though, any chance of the data being on a pie chart next time?

Exit Planet Dust.



This was asked many times, yet the answer is still the same.

ha....im not sure if your serious or joking





anywho....Again to fully explain what I was trying to show in my graph. I wanted to show the differences in each album. The first two were big beat and followed the big beat line (as shown in my graph.) Then, Surrender slightly jumped off the "big beat" line. Come With Us took a large jump into its own genre. Then "the singles" album came back to the level of Surrender as did Push the Button as well.



And as whirly said, it seems there is theres two level of chemical brother fans. One who is post Dig Your Own Hole, and one that is pre-Surrender. So those who liked Exit Planet Dust, would most likely enjoy Dig Your Own Hole and vice versa. And those who liked Surrender, would have enjoyed Push the Button and "the Singles" (new released tracks) and vice versa as well. As for Come With Us, I think its a required taste. They took a totally different formula (non big beat related, as shown in the graph again), which made it hard for most "past Chemical Brother fans" to swallow, thus making the release of Come With Us an unwarm welcome.



In my opinion, the "true" order of "quality output" by the chemical brothers goes like this:



Dig Your Own Hole

Exit Planet Dust

Come With Us

Surrender

Push The Button



and for my own personal preference:



Come With Us

Dig Your Own Hole

Exit Planet Dust

Push The Button

Surrender



of course many of you will disagree with me, and thats fine....I just wanted to explain my graph and opinions correctly. :).....and yes i have too much time right now :)

Cosco i did follow your graph and agree with all the points you make. but i think tracks like Under the influence(mix 2) and THe Duke are more close to come with us era than surrender era. Seems like they were just warming up with these tracks. Otter Rock though is completely surrenderish.



I disagree with your"true" order of "quality output" by the chemical brothers list. it should go something like :



Dig Your Own Hole

Surrender

Push The Button

Exit Planet Dust

Come With Us

to tell you the truth, i probably shouldnt have graphed "the singles" unreleased tracks, they are very diversed and theres only a handful them.

im really suprised you think Come With Us is worst in terms of "quality" considering its your favorite album in "preference".

Push the Button before Exit Planet Dust?....let me have some of whatever drugs u r taking!

I don't know... you all make good and valid points and in a lot of ways I can agree, but I never thought the Chems skimp in quality - to say that undermines the whole process of what they do to create music. And I don't mean just personal preference on the composition of the songs here because really, we all have our opinions on what's our favorites, what's pleasing to our ears and what's not. I'm talking about all aspects of the songs from use of melodious texture, use of sound in general, programming of beats, and a massive emphasis on production and how each song is arranged just so to keep up with the flow. I just don't hear a lack of quality.



Anyway, I don't mean this as a dig at anyone so I hope nobody takes it that way. I guess at the end of the day it's about what you want to listen to and what you find most enjoyable. Some albums cut it, others don't - if you have a preference and you like it, it's all good.

Whilst I don't agree with everything Bosco says, I think to be able to analyse an album in that way is a real skill (providing you're not taking notes while listening to it of course). I remember this time last year when people were talking about PTB, some people were describing the sound and song structure etc and how it differs to other albums, I remember thinking "How did they think of that?"

For personal sentimental reasons, Come With Us still remains my favourite album, tho it's surely not their strongest one. Just my personal favourite...

I think the same way........but dont sell "Come With Us" short! Its an awesome album. It shouldnt be shunned because it didnt follow their typical style of music. ( at least, thats why i think it was disliked so much :? )



anyways.....i made this







dont take it too seriously :P..........but i think i pretty much got the differences between each album somewhat graphed



........feel free to bash it :P

Okay.



You suck! And your stupid guide too!! Everybody knows DYOH is the personification of Big Beat.

i was a bit surpriesed that they're doing TechHouse?

i am sticking to what i said until my mind changes.

Even the brothers have said that Come with Us is their worst album

they're wrong and they know that. the industry told them till they believed that
