Strengths: NA Weaknesses: NA Summary: 2006-11-27 05:25:00 The last good Chemical Bros album. Dont bother with the next two. Whatever critics say, this is a departure from the 1st two albums. The main thing is that there arent the crashing phat beats as on tracks such as 'Block rockin beats'. Highlights are 'Hey boy hey girl' , 'Out of control' and 'Surrender'. I dont give it 5 stars as because of Noel Gallagher on 'Let forever be'. I cant abide the man. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

Strengths: NA Weaknesses: NA Summary: 2004-12-07 02:43:00 Another solid outing by the chems. From the hyper-frenetic electronica of "Music: Response" and "Under the Influence" to the psychedelic rock of "Let forever be" to the trippy, sitar packed anthem that is the title track this is an exceedingly eclectic album and very telling of the scarcely precedented pure musical finesse of Chemical Ed and Chemical Tom.

Strengths: NA Weaknesses: NA Summary: 2004-04-14 03:25:00 Not to keen on the guest vocal stuff, particularly Noel Gallagher's contribution, although 'Out of control' is still great in spite of the weak vocal. On balance, the best tracks are top notch, such as 'Hey boy hey girl' so overall a good purchase. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

Strengths: NA Weaknesses: NA Summary: 2000-12-21 08:59:00 The Chemical Brothers are a very good band and this album is very good and keeps me dancing everytime I listen to it. But no one can deny that the best single song they have made out of all they have made is Block Rockin Beats. Still a very good album! Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

Strengths: NA Weaknesses: NA Summary: 2000-12-13 04:18:00 It's listenable, but a lot of the songs are just whatever, like good background music. There's only a couple of songs that are really good, but they get annoying and old real fast. Nothing that'll really last for a long time, and in 50 years people will probably forget about it.

Strengths: NA Weaknesses: NA Summary: 2000-12-01 07:02:00 Chemical Bros have so much potential, look at their previous albums, to have a unique invasionous (i know i just made up my own word but you get the picture) sound. Unfortunetly this album is lacking all that they are great for: hard beats, off the hook samples and awesome build ups. Hopefully there next album will be more like there previous.
