[album rate: 3,5 / 5] [3,42]
producer: The Chemical Brothers
label: Freestyle Dust / Virgin - nationality: England, UK
Track highlights: 1. "Galvanize (feat. Q-Tip)" - 2. "The Boxer (feat. Tim Burgess)" - 3. "Believe (feat. Kele)"
5th studio album by The Chemical Brothers, which has some of the same style as Come with Us (Jan. 2002) and like that it lacks the really great compositions. It may not have as much focus on tribal house but the various collaboration songs with featuring artists tend to stir the sensation of coherence and takes this into a more experimental stage. The first track featuring Q-Tip is the only fine experience on an album that appears as the least favorable by The Chemical Brothers. That said, I still think anything they release has enough originality to t to make it more than just interesting.
