Push The Button is definitely one of their best albums. Come With Us, which is not a fantastic album, is really well produced. They have gone from dirty to clean as they evolved. That doesnt mean they lost it. It means they went somewhere and sometimes they nail it, sometimes they dont. At least they are not doing the same shit over and over again.

I listened to PTB and WATN earlier today... PTB just feels strange. Not bad music, just different. Come Inside and hold tight london sound out for me. Believe was amazing when I first heard it.. but that effects kinda worn off.

WATN is amazing, though. Less beats, though, and more crazy sounds in that one.

Whatever, though. I'll let them explore. TCB don't let down

midnight madness is just a fun track with a fun video. I like the track and have no problem with the video either. I do agree that the Chems aren't the same since EPD and DYOH. I have enjoyed a fair amount of what they have put out since but the music is good not great and the albums are certainly not classics. I don't care though I have the best album Ive gotten for a long time in IMD.

The Chems haven't lost it.
Have you heard Keep My Composure? Excellent tune.
First hear Electronic Battle Weapon 10 (version of Midnight Madness), and then judge it.

Saturate was my fave from the last album.

I would like them to come back with a harder sound on the next album.

I love the Brothers but have to say their work is going downhill IMO.

Hope the new prodigy album takes them back to where they belong, or at-least inspire them...
Or at least give them some great ideas to also go back to their roots.
I think all their albums has great tracks, but the newer it gets the less good tracks there are. I think they should throw all their equipment out the window and go back to one sampler and one keyboard :)

Well, I think Electronic Battle Weapon is far better than their oldskoll stuff. To be honest, I never liked their old tracks, they are boring as hell. Drum and bass loops, bass, drum and bass loops, bass, drum and bass loops, bass, drum and bass loops, bass, drum and bass loops, bass, drum and bass loops, bass, drum and bass loops, bass, drum and bass loops, bass, drum and bass loops, bass, drum and bass loops, bass, drum and bass loops, bass, drum and bass loops, bass, drum and bass loops, bass. This is their album called 'Exit Planet Dust'.

i felt Chems were losing around Come With Us (alright) into Push The Button (horrible)...

Dig Your Own Hole (my fave), Exit Planet Dust, and Surrender are great albums

but i felt We Are The Night was a really good album, not great, but pretty damn good. much better than that PTB garbage.

them we got Keep Your Composure which i love (especially since Spank Rock is on it), but Midnight Madness is a piece of crap. i'm sorry but it is.

at the beginning I found Dig Your Own Hole was my favourite Chem album, but now I don't think so (I don't think I have a favourite album anymore), I've gone sick of It Doesn't Matter and Don't Stop The Rock

but anyways, in my opinion Chemical Brothers always made good albums constitued of great tracks and tracks I liked less (some I skip), but overall I think they got a respectful discography and I find it worth to (at least I am happy to) own all of their albums.

I'm another one who likes Push The Button the least, but it's not 100% crap, tracks like Believe and Hold Tight London are great, a couple of other good/OK ones

I also like Midnight Madness (this track ain't "mad" though, it's "happy")

and I also think Brotherhood is their last record, I'm open to hear more from the guys, but unfortunately I don't think it'll happen as an album

I like We Are The Night and the others albums too. Music changed, they play more house music but they're always good. They are like the prodigy. Prodigy changed their music too
PS: this spring they played some new fresh tunes. It seems to be good. Can't wait the new album :roll:
