    Confirming everything that is great about Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, Come with Us is equal measures driving rhythms and euphoric, widescreen melodies.

    It's not that Come With Us doesn't rock like a jet engine in a jewel case - it does - but it's more striking for the moments when a warped loveliness, like the icy, phased harpsichord gusts of "Pioneer Skies," wafts up and out from among the roar of the sirens and sequencers.

    A worthy successor to Surrender.... This is dance music that still outstrips anything else in its class. [Feb/Mar 2002, p.113]

    The reason that 'Come With Us' seems unsatisfying is that The Chemicals no longer seem rooted in club culture the way they were in their Heavenly Social days.

    Just listen "The test".It does not intend to be emotionally affecting.It is phantasmagorical. It is probably reminiscence of some LCD (for example) experience.All CB music is like other, parallel and more beautiful reality and every CB album is discovery of a new aspect of that syntethical paradise.… Expand
