Absolutely rockin. It was my favourite track on PTB for a while. The beat is pure DYOH Chemical Brothers (but new and fresh), while everything else is catchy, funky and driving, and it's got Tim Burgess doing outstanding vocals. Great structure too.
Nothing but thumbs up here. 8)

Im diggin afro on this one
This track has some powerful drums, and outstanding chem production here. Awesom sample working with the chopped melody and the powerful vox are perfect. They keep it funk and danceworthy, while executing something im sure theyve wanted to pull for a long time. 11 out of 10

I dig it, I like Tim's vocals, I like the high energy of the track and the keys going on. It's a great second song for a record and helps shift Push The Button into high gear. It builds up from Galvanize to get the vibe rockin' before the Believe slam dunk. It's a great song that's placed perfectly within the whole record.
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle

I love it!
I love the hiccoughing (?) synths during the whole song, Tim's hoarse voice, and the overall production of the song. Like other people said above, it's very DYOH, but 2k5 DYOH. Really catchy in my opinion, it would make a good single.

DYOH??? You compare this to DYOH???How dare You!!!! :x DYOH was nothing but uncomercial, psychedelic, breakbeat, undergrund, veeeeery strange and beautiful in his dirt thing!!!! The Boxer is just a poppy song with a standard vocal and normal boring beat. What is like DYOH in it for You???? :?
