DemetriGJun 30, 2004Beautiful, bittersweet, nostalgic trip of the musical careers of two talented brothers. As a retrospective, it conjures up the themes and highlights of their earliest albums, and makes their entire catalog more accessible. Maybe this is the album fans were waiting for after 'Insides.'

WinstonMJan 19, 2006A nice ending to the Orbital chapter, This album requires alittle bit of listening to in order to get the most from it (Durr!) but is a splendid piece of work.

The Blue Album is the quintessential Orbital album, because it manages to hit every expectation that the duo have created over the course of their 15-year career. But it meets these expectations, quite brilliantly in places, without ever truly exceeding them.
-
In a way, the album simply highlights many of the reasons why Orbital have been so beloved for the past decade-and-a-half.

While it might not be a full exclamation point ending to their career, it's far better than a fall on the face.
