Feel much better now, thank you

however:

No Geography > Hey Boy, Hey Girl

Got To Keep on > Galvanize 

MAH > Believe 

And that's without even mentioning Free Yourself or Eve Of Destruction 

Therefore, as stated Chems new stuff is better than their old stuff😁

That's not in anyway saying that Chems old stuff is shit just the new stuff IS better 😉

 

I love No Geography. 

When it came out I actually thought it was their best record. 

I then went and listened to the back catalogue and came to the conclusion I can’t rank their albums, it’s just too hard.

My fave songs change based on mood and which era Chems I want at that moment. 

I love the new single and the continuation of the No Geography floaty electro vibe.

But sometimes I need the filth of Elektrobank, It Began In Afrika or Under The Influence. 

In short, I love The Chemical Brothers.

The Private Psychedelic Reel is the best Chemical Brothers song. Everything they have done since is just....... not as good!

Not sure where that leaves me.  

On the other side of the world, where you belong with some of these opinions! 😄

That’s not to say I think the lesser tracks are poor. Like others, I think I’m just a fan (although surely we can all agree that Further was a low point).

The only reason I didn't is cause I actually agree about Nick Cave.

Rule of 3 - people usually agree with 1 out of 3

Absolute madness 

Hard agree - it's to the Chems as Charly is to The Prodigy

See, now you're getting the hang of being controversial.

GTKO is great, but Galvanize is.....well it's Galvanize.

Galvanize = overplayed nostalgia

No Geography (Album) > all previous albums

I've gone 360 on Hey Boy, Hey Girl over the years. Loved it when it first came out, tired of it (as most have done) given how much is was overplayed, but have re-discovered a love of it, mostly based on how much it goes off live even after all these years. It's amazing.

What??? Further is the best album, you lunatic!

Escape Velocity, Swoon, Another World, Horse Power, K+D+B - all classics. I'm particularly fond of this remix:

Apart from the first track, obvs, I always skip that before my tinnitus gets too bad!

Slight change of subject, that's my relationship with Dancing Queen, originally one of my favourite ABBA songs because of how accessible it was, then went off it in favour of deeper cuts, because obviously something so poppy, must be lightweight. Then eventually listened to it closely and realised that it's actually a masterpiece, a Swiss watch of arrangement and composition, beautifully complex, yet ticks along in a way everyone gets immediately.
