new chemical brothers album and tour

[the mongoose]

Extended HQ mix of "Do it Again" on YouTube....

After 3 listens I'm starting to warm up to it (meaning that by tomorrow I'll probably be humming this shit all day )

Gym/club fodder at it's finest.

"Do It Again" is a load of shit.

Geez.. I hope The Chem's don't turn out a shit album just like NIN this year.

Who's next - Radiohead? *Crosses fingers* I fucking hope not!

Heard the single and not impressed at all, but i didn't like Galvanize to begin with so hopefully i'll warm to it.

[joethelion]

well - I have to say... it's definitely better than the vast majority of "Push the Button"

although, some parts did remind me of "Sexy Back"

[Jafs]

the Justin Timberlake one ?

[joethelion]

oh yea - I guess I should clarify a bit.

At least elements of "Do It Again" remind me a bit of Justin Timberlake's "Sexy Back"... although it's been a while since I've heard the album version [as I'm not a fan of his music], so I might be thinking of the Riton remix (of 'sexy back')

extended mix sounds allright. I mean, at the start it sounds really cool but the vocals just kill it for me.

i dont usually post on here.. but i just had to pipe in that after listening to that track, i had to go back and listen to electrobank to remember what was special about the chemical brothers.

[holden]

Heard "Do It again" for the first time last night, and well...

But i remember that i rarely liked the lead-off single.

Like many, i discovered the Chems with "Dig Your Own Hole" in 1997. That's a tough album to match, so my expectations for "surrender" were really high. i think in the U.S., the lead-off single was "Let Forever Be", and i thought, "meh, what a bad retread of Setting Sun". Learned to love it, though.

Same with "It Began in Afrika". first listens = "WTF?". Later, i can't get enough of that jungle cat!

And the same with "Get Yourself High" and even "Galvanize". Q-Tip, NO! Soon became, "yes, Q-Tip, the time HAS come! Push that button!".


hoping for the same effect this time around, once i hear the whole LP and let it work as a unified whole, the way i prefer to enjoy the Chemcical Brothers.

i gave up on the brothers after their last release. push the button had one good song (london) rest was crappy.
