Its alright.

Can't compare to their other stuff, but its really hard to make stuff as good as that over and over again.

Good album, just a wee bit commercial for my tastes, BUT, as dance music continues to become more and more commercialized, artists will be forced to create more commercial music, unfortunately this can affect the quality of their releases and alienate their fans.

This is a good album, the track "Galvanize" shows that the Chemical Brothers can branch out into other genres and still remain true to their "sound", but I really miss that "rock n' roll" vibe they used to have, thats what made their music so driving and energetic.

Oh well, as trends change, so will the music, let's just hope its for the better.

very very well put.

i have always been a huge fan or their electro/rock/ambient/house sound, and it seems that this album as added more hip and more hop.

not true hip hop beats, but you can notice the downtempo and breakish attitude to the album

i just wish it had been more trancey/ambient, because they do it sooo well.!!!!

is it just me, or does it seem more War oriented? another politcal album? *yawn*

good beats...just leave me alone will all these hidden messages! I thought i would be able to get away from that kind of stuff in EDM, but i guess not

the album sounds much better the second time around, imo

I think the Chemical brothers didnt want to give us more of the same...they decided to expand out.

Heh, never noticed that political stuff...I'm going to have to look into that.

The CD is starting to grow on me...
