Hmm, I think Galvanise has gone the same way as Star Guitar. I mean, I don't dig it at the moment, I think it'll need time. It seems too commerical hip-hop at the moment, not enough Chemical for my liking. BUT, I expect my opinion to change with a few more listens!! :D

haha i like that: "I feel that the album will be full of new stuff" new stuff is always good when a new album comes out, no one wants the old tracks on a new cd :P
i dont know, i think galvanise is pretty cool....but its way hyped up, imho, everyone's freakin about this, but it doesnt seem that groundbreaking...everyone should be as hyped about EBW7 as they are Galvanise, theyre both being released on teh single, but neither of em are groundbreaking tracks...even though i love EBW7, maybe Galvanise just hasnt grown on me either, but i dont think it will GROW a lot, maybe a little...however, i think it will remain a good tune to me...bring on PtB!!!

Of course everyone is going to be hyped up, it's the first single to their new album, which we have been waiting for a week after we played come with us non stop. Us human beans are never satisfied with what we have.

First impressions:
Enjoyed it, but not really what I'd expected after all the statements about full-bored dance floor track. It's class, but my interests in dance music have swayed recently (electro, and back to indie dance) and I've not been listening to much hip-hop at all in the past few months. That said, I think the track will be big once I've got it on CD and can play it in the car. Listening to it on my computer speakers as compared to sub and Focals is no contest.
On a related note, I've been listening to the King Unique Essential Selection from a couple weeks ago non-stop and although the first time I heard EBW 7 I was underwhelmed, now it slays me every time. Total bosh!!!
Conclusion: Hopefully this might actually get some radio play here in my cultural wasteland. Sounds like it could actually get played at the clubs around here (which are majority Top 40). I acknowledge the claim that the track is perhaps too commercial, but this might mean I actually I have a chance at hearing it while out.
Can't wait for Tongy tomorrow, and to get the single and album! You've got me on the edge of my seat, Tom and Ed!!!!

I couldn't stop listening to it yesterday. Was the last track I listened to before I went to sleep. I couldn't wait to listen to it first thing this morning.
It just fits in perfectly with they way I feel at this time of the year : don't hold back, push the button, go f'ing crazy etc.
It's a tight, no rubbish, get the job done, thumping tune!

Hey Mikey04, I didn't expressed very well in that sentence, what I meant is that I think the new album will have a huge variety of music styles, bringing fresh songs, and much more creative than "Surrender". Man, I must be listening "Galvanize" for the 30th time, I think I'm becoming addicted to it!!

I listened to Galvanize on my headphones before heading off the work today and I had that infectious mid-east string hook playing in my head all day. It definitely sounds better with headphones on, this is a high decible, low freq bass track, and it's thumpin like:
What did strike me at first listen is that it didn't sound very "chemically" but at higher volume you can hear some sounds that sound very Brothers. I cannot wait to hear the longer version, I imagine more Chemical goodness is in store.

what do y'all mean about Star Guitar??? I mean, I know you love it now, but man, the first time I heard it.. I was in heaven. Happens to be on right now (listening to that amazing Chile live set.. *drooool*!). Then again, of course you're all entitled to your opinions and feelings (how many times do we have to say that on there), I'm just wondering if there's anybody else out there like me. I think actually the first time I heard Star Guitar was almost the most I liked it, though it still, as iguanapunk might say, "makes me wet." :P So maybe I'm one of those people that got into dance music through trance (and left that behind a while ago) so that's maybe the reason..

When I first heard Star Guitar, my exposure to dance music was virtually nil (ie. I knew Block Rockin' Beats and Firestarter; I'd seen the video to Setting Sun once or twice --> exaggerations, but not by much). I came into the Chems through the School of Rock (I listened mostly to Smashing Pumpkins, NIN, etc.) Expecting something more hooky, seeing as how it was a single, I couldn't even begin to appreciate the song. It was really only when I read how other ppl were raving on about the track that I gave it a proper listen and, slowly but surely, I came to love its blissful beats. Didn't hurt that around the same time I came to fall in love with Michel Gondry's videos...

I can't say I loved Star Guitar upon first or 2nd listen. It was a grower and I learned to love it. The real turning point was hearing Star Guitar live. Being there and really feeling it, feeling the energy off the crowd and hearing the way that song seemed to reach for the heavens when the vocals came in - that's what did it for me.

Yeah, I'll agree with that, it was a new level of love when hearing Star Guitar live, the atmosphere, the connection to the rest of the crowd, it was amazing!
