Re: The Chemical Brothers - Further
I reconciled the whole "do I download" question by telling myself it was ok, b/c the entire video is already available on US iTunes

I agree about "Come With Us" - definitely their last 'great' album

I can never keep "Push the Button" and "We Are the Night" apart. I always confuse the two, b/c neither one of them had many tracks that really GRABBED me. That being said, I did like the Electronic Battle Weapons from that period... and the last track on "Push the Button"

is it sad that i have bought the last 4 Chems albums the day they came out? That's how into them i was after "Exit Planet Dust" and "Dig Your Own Hole".

"Surrender" took quite a while to grow on me, as it was both more pastoral and more glossy than the sample-heavy big beat that preceeded it.

"Come With Us" (imho, their last great album) owned my stereo for weeks.

"Push the Button" and "We Are the Night" - they have their moments, but nothing that i really dig.

But i'm reallllly liking what i hear about/of this - return to form/by the numbers 90's era/ psychodelic, hatever - these are all good things after the crappy hip hop and flavor of the month collabs of the last two.
