I will persevere with this though as they are a great band-I may grow to love it.
I've not actually listened to the new album yet but I think the opposite is true.I thought the best Chemical Brothers albums are the ones where songs don't jump out at you.My main problem with them over the past few albums is they put all their effort into a couple of singles and nothing really else does much. I still think the first 2 albums were the best they did because they seemed to be written as albums , the whole thing had a flow to it.
