    This album is complete and utter garbage. The tracks are unoriginal, and the overall writing is pathetic. Anybody who's coming out and saying this deserves a Grammy is an absolute moron. If you want real electronic music, I strongly suggest that you listen to Random Access Memories by Daft Punk. Don't put poison in your ears with this crap, it's one of the worst electronic albums I'veThis album is complete and utter garbage. The tracks are unoriginal, and the overall writing is pathetic.

    I tried to listen to the album twice in order to give it a fair rating, but both times I quit after the first 4 tracks and the silence afterwards is so comforting. So in my opinion this work is nothing but annoying. I can't imagine a single event or occasion to listen to this.

    Born In The Echoes follows the duo's formula of saving the more psychedelic tracks for the end.

    The Chems remain committed to their singular vision, still plying those swooning synths, continuing to breathe new life from the echoes. [No. 123, p.55]

    Born In the Echoes maintains a pop-sensitive groove for all but two of its songs.... But the real winners on this record as usual are the curios.
