Therefore, even a big hit of the album for me, "Block Rockin 'Beats" with its funky guitar run. "Do not Stop The Rock", however, offers techno sound surface, supported with analog drum samples, in "Lost in the K-Hole" turn the guitar grooves casual with chill-out synths. So each piece provides a very individual contribution without falling out of the overall plan or to somehow act out of place. Fascinating, especially the fusion of digitalem- and analog sampling (where was anloge mostly by digital filters and other distortion hunted, but the origin remains audible), which never sounds contradictory, but complemented each other wonderfully. Guest vocals from Noel Gallagher (Oasis) and Beth Orton round out the package from Chemical as icing.
Overall, it's loud, sometimes very loud and bursting with energy accordingly. The breathers come until the end of the album. Through a partially almost unbelievable richness of detail of each song, you go again to explore. What the boys to burn samples for a single song, enough other for a half an album, quite seriously. However, one can also feel overwhelmed by these excessive Sample monsters that lie in some tracks on deafening frequencies as it may sound for one or the other certainly overloaded, intrusive or confused. For me not (or only occasionally), it would still be able to understand as criticism. An experimental works are often divorced opinions. Some will certainly miss the directness of its predecessor. For me, the Chemicals Brothers have set after her debut the second milestone in a row - respect.
