I've listened to the album numerous times now, and my opinion really hasn't changed much on it, I like a lot of the stuff, but it's easily Chicane's worst effort.

Empires and Something Wrong are both great songs and SW could even be made floor worthy with a remix.

Many of the other vocals are average quality, I like Daylight, Locking Down is good; it's just that I expect more than 'good' from Chicane.

At this point I'm just intrigued to see what kinds of remixes will happen, and if Nick's next album (assuming there is a next one) follows this pattern, or if he goes in yet another direction.

Originally when I heard that the album was going to be less dancy I assumed he was doing an entire disc full of stuff ala 'In Praise of the Sun' and 'Arizona', aka: utterly chilled out beauty, but this poppy move was rather unexpected.

I don't respect him less as a producer, or clamour for the "good old days" like some do, but I certainly enjoyed his first two albums more.

hey airscape2, are the lyrics in 'locking down' in hindi or some other Indian dialect?

I've decided that I actually do really like the album, with the exception of 'East Side Story'. Empires is definitely a real gem and amongst Chicane's best work, I feel.

The album is great, im hooked. About the language on "locking down" I belive it is in Bengali, which is an indian dialect.

I really dont like it.

thought so what? just because i wont backlash against that with another childish reponse like you. the first response i was mocking your post to me in the other thread you made about how chicane disappointed you. think of something intelligent, then respond again. the world doesnt revolve around you.
