    not as good as surrender or (especially) come with us, but still better than the prodigy album from last year. oh well. too many guest vocalists. too many songs that are totally boring. the one exception, 'the boxer' takes the tried and true chemical brothers sound and actually makes it sound like they are on their 5th album. otherwise, this is just unremarkable through and through.

    each song seems to be either a hit or miss. You may love a few, but you may hate others. I am now discovering why i should invest in an iPod so i can purchase the songs i like, and leave the others in the trash heap.

    The problem with ‘Push The Button’ is that it’s all so predictable.

    It shows the Chemical Brothers, unlike their peers, are capable of adapting and surviving.

    The Chems' mix of big-beat thumps and psychedelic swirls sounds a bit dated. [28 Jan 2005, p.84]
