I can't believe people are dissing the new album "We Are The Night." Sure it ain't no "Exit Planet Dust" or "Dig Your Own Hole," but it's way better than "Push The Button." now that was a horrible album in my opinion, felt like the Chems were just putting something out for the sake of putting something out. I won't say the new album is the greatest, but at least it feels like they put their hearts somewhat into it and it has some meaning with it. I was surprise by the new album, I bought all their albums, except "Push The Button." not a single song on that album did anything for me.

Greetings chemical brothers and sisters,

Behold! It's countdown time to the release of The Chemical Brothers new best of compilation "Brotherhood". Sept 1st (2nd in the US) is the big day and you'll be able to pick up both the regular and limited editions at your favorite store, whether it be on your rockin block or on your computer...

The special edition boasts a bonus album of the complete collection of the band's legendary "Electronic Battle Weapon" 1-10 series. Up until now, only djs and collectors had a glimpse into these pre album 12" gems that have proceeded each Chems release. Now you can own these dancefloor salvos for yourself.

And of course the regular edition includes all the greats plus two new Chemical tunes - "Midnight Madness" and "Keep My Composure" (featuring Spank Rock).
