    While good, clean, hedonistic fun, it feels over-familiar, like somewhere you've visited once too often. [Jan 2002, p.97]
  2. 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.
  3. Though marred by a few missteps, it's mostly enjoyable, if unchallenging.
  4. Ironically, little on the album captures the imagination the way narrower genres like techno, house, or even hip-hop often do
  5. Time to pull out Dig Your Own Hole while the Bros. claw through this current slump, er, evolutional period.
  6. 50
    It's excellently crafted, grandiose and rousing, and right now, it sounds ridiculous.

    Too often, all it offers is the rumble of starting engines. [Feb 2002, p.124]

    Just listen "The test".It does not intend to be emotionally affecting.It is phantasmagorical. It is probably reminiscence of some LCD (for 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.
