Galvanize = rap, i skip this

Boxer = slow, normal song with normal rhythm and vocal, even those mixed beginning is standard :/ house

Believe = the begining is fine but later it's standard housy song :/

Hold Tight London = boring, clearly house beat and nothing is much happen on that track, this is even not psychedelic,

Come Inside = - it pretending to be psychedelic but is NOT,

Big Jump = bum bum bum bum bum - a, a, a, - all the scheme for the song :/, ahh yeah, this guitars and scratchin is thin, house

Left Right = rap, boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring, i skip this

Shake Break Bounce = yes this one IS strange, but in not good way, slooow

Marvo Ging = wel, this one is for me the best track, but too light

Surface to Air = normal, romantic, housy



All the album it's like recorded and mixed in 2 days.

Sorry, a don't like simply house, and i know that you fucking on me, i don't care. It my feelings. I don't like music they are doing in now.

A love breaks, complication, psychodelic. Nothing of this i can find on PTB.

Well it seems your staight out of luck then big guy. You dont like the album, so be it. Go complain about it to people who actually care about your opinion. This forum is also mainly for ENGRISH posters, so try and make some sense when "supporting" your claims.

[quote name="anType"]It seems that "Push The Button" is the 2nd "Surrender" in The Chemical Brothers history - a drastic change in direction, which is totally unexpected and which will turn a lot of fans off, but will also attract a lot of new ones. And only the true fans will continue to walk along with Tom & Ed on their musical journey. And just like it was with "Surrender", the years will show that it's one of their finest moments.

The shit happens.I've been a tricky fan from the begining and that's totally whats happened to him by critics.maxinque(they said he was a genious-and he is) each album after that that got different they kept ragging on him for not keep putting out another maxinque over and over and they didnt know what to think of angels witth dirty face(a brilliant classic).Ive stayed with him and have every album just like i will continue with the chems.

I've been steadfast in not listening to any of the tracks, even ceasing to listen to BBC Radio while on the computer. I'm glad to see the Brothers moving in new directions even while I love their past works. Personally, I've become more attached to each new record as time passes. I still really like Exit Planet Dust now in 2005, but DYOH blows me away that much more. I think Surrender is an unbelievable album, and Come With Us is stunning, simply stunning. I don't expect PTB to surpass CWU, but it will take ME in a new direction and push my musical boundaries in new ways. How much more can you ask for than that?



I look at the CDs lying around on my shelf (and, truthfully, on every exposed surface in the house) and trace well over half of them back through the evolution of my musical tastes back to Setting Sun. There's an unbelievable range of music here, but it all comes back to that one track, and branches off as various points that inspired me to look in new directions (Music: Response, HBHG, Leave Home [Underworld mix 1], Denmark, IBIA, etc.).



I still get excited hearing Galvanize nearly two months after the first listen.

You know, i always thinking about why so many artist resign from that, in what theay are just GREAT. Oldfield since 10 years record some electronic music, he just throw up this, what he do best - PLAY ON THE GUITAR!!!!!. Jean Michel Jarre do some disco - techno stuff, yaaahh. Chemical brothers forget for good for what are they AMAZING - in fast breabeat (don't talk about the breakbeat music is dead). I don't a SECOND DYOH from Chems just like i don't a second Amarok from oldfield. I just wants only TWO or even ONE track on the new album wchich i could listed with glory, wchich has some good breakbeat kick assing rhythm!!!!!They always produced good BREAKBEAT music like Fatboy produced amazing house. I see so many artist just forgetting about his skills ;( Shit. Is really only I finding that today music is only commercial mad???? FUCK!

you ever think that maybe their recents albums don't sound like their old albums because they've already been there, done it, and need to move on? Hell, they've not only been there and done it, but they went there and did it the absolute best... You think they should spend all their time trying to make a better version of DYOH or something?



IMO, of course.

I wont ANOTHER DYOH. They can do anything with breaks. Breakbeat is veeery evolutiv type of music. They haven't to go another DYOH, thay just could creat another album with breakbeat music wchihc could be something really differnet from DYOH, but it could contain the breaks. Understand??????They are just good in heavy powerful underground breakbeat music making. House can do anybody in home. Breakbeat is that special type of music wchich must be creating with big care of don't fucking it!. Prodigy was created breakbeat but this music was very plastic, music for the kids. Chems can do breaks for big guys.

But they already DID dyoh. It's DONE. I mean, that record came out what? Almost 10 years ago?



Lemme tell ya a story.



I was a huge NIN fan. Huge. Giant. I thought Trent Reznor was a fucking god. I listened to him for years and years.



Then the album 'The Fragile' came out, and I hated it. I thought that Trent had completely lost his edge, that he'd become a pretentious wanker and lost touch with his fans. I thought that NIN fans who liked the fragile were mindless drones who'd suck up any crap he shat out with a straw and be happy to ask for more.



Well, with the passing of years, I realized that I was wrong, that he'd merely changed and it wasn't in a direction that matched what was going on in my life at the time. So you know what I did?



I stopped listening to NIN. It was hard, very hard. Being a cybergoth deathrock NIN fan was a huge part of my personality, my style, my life, but then I realized, I was no longer those things.



And I started listening to the Chemical Brothers instead. :D

Look mate, DYOH was inspired by rock fusing with dirty acid house. The result was an amazing album, a unique album. Yes it was breakbeat. You can't deny that. But all music progresses. Breakbeat, in that form, is over. You don't like that, go make some of your own music. Go on, get yourself a copy of Reason, and FL Studio, and go and make another Dig Your Own Hole. Personally, I'd rather stick with everyone else in the world, and realise that this is 2005. Breakbeat is now what the Plump DJs and Adam Freeland write. That's influenced by drum 'n' bass, and electro.



The Chems have moved on from the grungy feel of DYOH, to a more emotional kind of music. It more beautiful and artistic now, rather than in your face, blow you away kinda thing. It's electronic emo!



BTW, I haven't heard Push The Button yet, but I'm extrapolating from Surrender and Come With Us. Dangerous, but it's the best I can do :)

Hi Guys. May I introduce myself. My names Fabian, I'm from Switzerland and a Chemical-Fan since Exit Planet Dust. I've been on to concerts in Switzerland which were both my 2 best concerts ever besides the Nelly Furtado gig (but totally different in comparing).



I read quite a lot of your thoughts, now mine. I didn't care much about the new album until a few days when my flatmate downloaded it and showed me. I have to say that I'm quite surprised. It's not that much Bigbeat anymore but it's creative like every album before. I see the Chems as a "band" who is really open and doesn't have prejudges. So I am always eager to hear where their musical journey is going next.



Now the tracks:



Galvanize: Not bad, a good groove, cool lyrics "Push the button". But not my favourite but I like to listen to it when I'm jogging.

5/10



The Boxer: Just great. A rellay strange cool, groove, great samples and a superb Jamiroquaish-Voice which fits perfectly to the track.

8/10



Believe: I don't like this that much. It's just not so special for me. It has a monotonous groove but is not special for me.

3/10



Hold Tight London: I love this track. It has a beat that makes me dancing all night long. And it just fills my body with a feeling that makes me trembling. The voice is beautiful almost like in "Asleep from day". I just feel really great listening to this track it's just a neverending good rhytm floating trough your body listening to it.

10/10



Come Inside: Also like "Believe" not really my taste. But a nice rhytm.

3/10



The Big Jump: Whoow. What a wicked beat paired with a more wicked melody. And the ending sample is just a little bit more wicked. Makes me dance :-)

7/10



Left Right: Not my style. Cannont judge it.



Close Your Eyes: A slower track which I also like quite much. Great instruments. Good vocals.

6/10



Shake Break Bounce: What Can I Say. The best track on the album. Something between electronic music, Nelly Furtados "Saturday" and a wicked guitar and great effects. I love this track so much.

10/10



Marvo Ging: For me it's like a bridge to the past albums, whith a "Vanilly Sky" touch. Great instruments, moving groove.

9/10



Surface to Air: It builds up and builds up and never stops building up until it's finished. Just the "grande finale" of the album.

10/10



71/100 MY OVERALL RATING (without left right)



For me every Chem's Album has some songs that I don't like, some that I begin to like more every time I listen to it, and some I love.



And just Surface to Air, Marvo Ging, Shake Break Bounce, Hold Tight London, The Big Jump and Close Your Eyes. Are 6 very very good reasons to buy to album.



Seriously I can't wait until I can get my CD at the Stores.



PS: Sorry for my not so good English. It's not by far my native language.



PS: Long Live The Chemical Brothers.
