Yeah, they've been responsible for a lot of great singles, but as an album band, though the quality may have dropped over time, there are still a lot of great cuts, imho. DYOH and EPD still rank among my favorite LPs. Almost 100% killer. Though i'm not a big fan of the more pastoral tracks on Surrender, it's still 70% great, same with Come With Us. Only with Push the Button do i feel they're retreading and not too enjoyable. I agree joe, with the "let's party" vibe that comes out of recent singles like "get Yourself high", "Galvanize" and "Do it Again", but then, most of the singles have been about havin' a good time...you have to go deeper into the albums to get the really trippy, dare i say "meaningful" tracks...
But like every Chems release since Dig in '97, i'll be looking forward to release day and replaying the record a hundred times. Hopefully it'll strike a nerve quickly (as 4 of 5 records did from first listen before).
