Blockrockin' Beats is fantastic, and the rest of it is an enjoyable experience if you're in the mood for it! But that's the thing, it's gotta be the right mood.
idk I kinda forgot about this. I feel like it was decent though
It was good
Some good jams
Don’t really like dance music
No
I used to like the Chemical Brothers a bit more than I do at this point. This album has a spot for me, and it's in the middle. I'd listen to it again, but I wouldn't reach for it as quickly as the 4 stars, so it gets a solid 3.
My hole is none of your business
Some of it I like - the techno and funky stuff. But then it samples sounds of people shouting or screaming and I do not like that. It's giving me a headache. It's pretty frenetic. Would probably make good music for working out, dancing, party, etc. but not for when I'm chillin' at home.
Big beats are the best
Awesome beats great listen
Really liked it. Based on the album's age, I can see that this music set the precedent for other bands such as Beastie Boys.
reminds me of rage against the machine
The breakbeat drums are sick, I love how they sound. The grooves are pretty gnarly and scuzzy. Sounds a little like some of the stuff you might hear on a rage album. Explosive, dancey, groovy. The tracks are never stagnant, hardly drag, honestly I really love this
not my thing
This is more suited for a soundtrack to a heist film than for active listening. Not something I need to listen to before I die.
I like the Chemical Brothers, but this isn't their best work
Spotify. Ok listen but not my thing. Singles are good.
Enjoying it as good background work music.
A little rave in my pocket. Engaging enough to be entertaining, passive enough to make work go a little smoother today. The year this was released makes me feel like this was a massive influence in the early 00s, I can point out a lot of movies that kept the same gritty hard bass sound. Favorite tracks: "Elektrobank", "It Doesn't Matter"
electronica, not my thing
Ends on a particularly strong and interesting track, but is mostly an hour of drum machines. Plenty of decent material, but the kind that is better in a mix than back-to-back in an LP. The samples are less dynamic than the Fatboy Slims of the world.
A psychedelic workout album. Very 90s, very groovy, high energy. Strong 4. Standout Tracks: Dig Your Own Hole, Elektrobank, It Doesn’t Matter, Get Up On It Like This, Lost In The K Hole, The Private Psychedelic Reel
Only listened a bit but my ears did not enjoy.
noooo dental pasta-like sounds staaaph there's this one song that i like and unlike the other songs, it has a female voice
A nailed-on 5 and without any competition the best dance/electronica album ever made.
