There was only one big electronic group that made it out of the 1990s relatively unscathed – The Chemical Brothers. It is clear how I feel about Daft Punk and after listening to the first few songs from Prodigy's new offering, I didn’t even bother with the last half of the album - it was that bad.
But I’ve come to expect more from The Chemical Brothers and up until now I’ve never been disappointed with anything they have ever put out. That being said, I’m not disappointed with Push the Button, but it is not their best album. In fact, it may very well be their worst album.
Maybe they weren’t inspired, maybe they weren’t focused, maybe they were depending too much on guest talent to pull the album on through. Maybe, just maybe, some young, aspiring DJs will get a hold of the album and remix it in the hopes of making it better.
Stuff to Steal: The Chemical Brothers – Flip the Switch. Be patient.
When are we going to hear about GeekSta Rap . It is the shiznit.
p.s. The remix is generally better than the album. Hard to top 'Surface to Air,' though, but these guys do a really good job of it.
Worst. Chemical. Brothers. Album. Ever.
[2] Yeah, this is true. And your last album wasn't all that great either, Norman.
