thanks sunchild!

and Pum, that is the best version of the track from the remix competition, thats cheating.

I definitely really hate those vocals. The Lorde bit is good though. I hope we get an instrumental version with just Lorde's "There it is"

THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS ARE OVER. I WILL NEVER LISTEN TO ANYTHING THEY'VE EVER DONE AGAIN.

weren't they also in another hunger games movie for a brief moment with something from the Hanna soundtrack?

There was an alternate (so far unreleased IIRC) version of Marissa Flashback during the last ten minutes of the film. I've only seen the film once so I would have to watch it again to compare..

Is that really a chemical brothers exclusive or a production for another artist?

I hope this doesn't mark the direction for the new album regarding ANY new track! How I hate those plastic-like stereotype pop-commerce-vocals. Yikes.

Nah, this doesn't do it for me. I'm glad none of the new material which they played at recent sets sounds anything like this.

'Sigh'
BBC player won't play on mobile! Will take a listen later.
Another OST track?
WN,your all over this track already. What's the final review?

Having a listen right now! Thanx sunchild!
Verdict soon!

Edit: damn...it's already 3 pages into this thread when a couple of minutes ago was only one. Cool that alot of you showed up, as I haven't seen this in quite awhile on the forum.

In four words: CAN'T WAIT FOR INSTRUMENTAL

In slightly more words: I like what the Chems did with the song more than I dislike Miguel's vocals and lyrics. His is the only part lacking, and it's still good against the excellence of everything else.

In even more words, if instrumentally the rest of the Chem's body of work turns out as barnstormingly badass as this release, we're in for a treat, a proper Chemical take/twist/improvement on what's popular in the clubs nowadays. And if Miguel appears on any more Chemical tracks, there's no way we're all going to be able to enjoy them as much as we should be able to.

I for one...didn't hate it...Even the vocals or the background parts with Lorde. I feel a little dirty for saying that but...yeah, it was alright. I don't love it. It reminds me a lot of the Galvanize release back in '05. Mind you that was Q-Tip and he is an amazing MC.

Mind you my mind is stuck in head cold mode alon with packing mode.

Heck, it's not even the best new track I've heard in the last 24 hours. That goes to a majority of the new Dorian Concept album.

Thanks Sunchild!
Song is great for hunger games soundtrack, methinks.
And interesting combination of CB and Lorde.
I seriously doubt, though, it foreshadows new chemical sound.

same thought! Miguel (whoever the hell he is) is not needed to give this track a 'personality'! It already had one without his vocal. The track is ok, but the first 20 sec sold me. The rest justs glides by me in a sorts of ways.

the track also reminds me of a chemical bros B-side! (im trying to think of it...it's those bubbly sounds that remind of it)

It's not a bad OST track, but it sounds 'teenish' if there is such a word.

So after 7 listens.....TINAG final score: 6.5 out of 10!

Im done!

It's playing again on R1

Holy crap, I've been on this forum enough lately. I skip it for ONE DAY and miss this. Cleavage!! Oh and new Lorde too.

Yeah the next time I'm feeling constipated, I think I'll have a new cure. There's definitely a couple of 'brown notes' in this one.

Sammy the salmon was kinda crappy. And for me Swoon was the worst thing off of Further too. And of course The Girl Is Mine was the first/worst thing off Thriller. So sometimes the commercial single can be misleading.

I didn't see any of the uh Fappening. Just the newspaper reports. Was there good stuff? Did anyone manage to save what they saw onto their hard drive? If so, did you feel dirty, like you were handling stolen goods?

Yep clearly what they've been road testing in DJ sets sounds nothing like this. I don't think I'd like a whole album like This Is not A Game, and I'd be surprised if we get one.
I do however think it would be a good idea for the Chems to have a hit. I've never had a problem with even the most 'credible' artists having hits now and again. It gets your music out to a larger audience, some of whom may stick around and discover an album (or body of work) that they otherwise wouldn't. Doing a Hunger Games theme song will surely help to spread the word. There's probably a generation of 'kids' who don't know the Brothers.
If I remember correctly, Further was released in the UK with a competition to win an ipad. This in turn made Further ineligible for the UK album charts. I wonder if that was really a good idea. What did it achieve? Sell copies of the album to people who wanted...an ipad? If it was me I'd have wanted casual Chems fans to notice there was a Chems album in the charts and then to buy it for the music.
I imagine I'll hear this track blasted from the cars of people who have show-off loud stereos and show-off loud hubcaps etc. But better this than Flo Rida.
