Q came out today and it said it would be reviewing PTB in last months issue. Typically, The punk loving Pop humping reviewers gave it two out of five stars!!
This has upset me, and made me quite angry. Im really excited about the chems and dance music as a whole, but i cant beleive ythey would rate the chems so low, 'Old sounds in a different order' were the comments made.
I wait with no less than a 100% anticipation for PTB, and a big Fuck u to Q, what do u know anyway!!
If Mylo can get 4 stars, why the hell not the chems??
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Love is all

My life is a boat, being blown by you. With nothing ahead, just the deepest blue... To me you're like a setting sun. You rise then you're gone.

For any one who wants to read the full review but dose'nt want to contribute any money to publication without any musical taste i shall type it out for your sarcastic responses.
THE BROTHERS EVIDENTLY
FORGOT TO WORKIT OUT.
Theres a nice irony in the title (directed presumablyat those who think making dance records consists just of pressing buttons marked "acid", "techno" or "big beat"), but otherwise the chemicals' fitfth album comes up short. First track Galvanize, featuring rapper Q-Tip, has a typically turbo-charged bassline and eastern strings. Elsewhere it's like they have just put all there old sounds together in a slightly differen order. Believe pushed the "funny noise" button much too often and Marvo Ging would be hard-pushed to rock a living room, let alone a city block.
Idiot, how many guitar albums is he gonna review in the new year. Is he gonna level a similar response to theses albums "same guitar bass and drums just in a different order". He should phone up God and ask for a new pair of ears as his seem to be falty.

A total moron wrote that review. I don't care if Elvis came back from the dead and said this album sucks, PTB is the most original music the Chems have done. Did that reviewer even here Hold Tight London? Did he/she even try to think how amazing the "chorus" of The Big Jump is? Better yet, has the punk heard any of these tracks live or in a club yet? PTB is dominating, the Brothers take every other electronic artist to school with this album.

that review is so lame-it only mentions 3 songs-not like he has even botherd with it-Qcannot stand fresh dance music they only like electronic music they are comfortable with such as the bland mylo!hope this isnt what all the reviews are like the brothers might call it a day

Foot-Stomping Magic from Dance Music's Seminal Brothers
Ed Simons and Tom Rowlands are back. Better known as seminal electronic pioneers ?The Chemical Brothers?, the duo are set to release new single ?Galvanize? on January 17th. The track is the first from new album ?Push the Button? which will grace the shelves of your local record emporium a week later on January 24th.
As you?d expect, ?Galvanize? is a giant, foot-stompingly heavy dance track. Opening with some super-sinister warped strings, the track builds as a big ol? thumping bass line comes in alongside hypnotic vocals from Tribe Called Quest star Q-Tip. The result is a beast of a floor-filler that is every bit as menacing as it is pandemic.
The two Brothers Chemical have obviously set about including of all the elements that make a dirty dancefloor tune; from electronic stabs and whooshes to the obligatory breakdown that builds anticipation before the track bounces back into full flow, they?re all here ? a smorgasbord of uplifting effects. And they work a treat. But you wouldn?t expect anything less than a monster of a track like this from a duo that have been in the business for more than a decade.
Indeed, I?ve heard ?Galvanize? both in and out of the clubs. The first time I heard it at home, my foot tapped and my head bopped rhythmically. The second time, I was dancing around an imaginary handbag and shouting the lyrics at my cat. And when I heard it drop at long-running house night ?Shindig? in Newcastle, I jumped up and down so violently that I spilt my rum and coke all over my new frock. Frankly, I didn?t even care, testament not only to how fantastic this record sounds when it?s pumped through a larger than life sound system, but also to the fact that this record nestles happily amongst many-a-genre in a DJ set.
I?m confident that Chemical Brothers fans and non-fans alike will take to this record like a duck to water; here?s hoping that the rest of the album is equally buoyant...
