Don't let me put you off though  Always good to see new journals popping up around here. |
Heh, no problem. No shame in two people having a different opinion. I always get back from Uni and have everyone complain about the music I listen too so I'm well used to it anyway :P Cheers for your encouragement, though
The other thing that I listened to in the car was "Further" by The Chemical Brothers, their new stuff. I've never picked up a Chemical Brothers album before (only their singles compilation - which I wasn't too impressed with) so I didn't really know what to expect. As someone said - this album hasn't set the world on fire, but I've been really impressed by it.

I quite enjoy the way this album progresses through styles. Snow is an ambient, spacey track which feeds into Escape Velocity which is a little more up-tempo, more dancy electronic track. I would criticise it slightly in that being 11 or so minutes long, it doesn't progress perhaps as much as it should, and gets a little repetitive towards the end. Another World and Dissolve grab it back in the middle of the album, both have some good riffs and sounds, and are excellent up-tempo tracks.
Horse Power is quite a housey track, which is going to be one of the more acquired tracks on the album. I has some stuff going on underneath the main lyrical line, but they're slightly harder to pick up than in some of the earlier tracks.
Swoon - K+D+B - Wonders Of The Deep is a fantastic end to the album. Swoon is the headline song, the single which is an excellent track which had me bopping along in the middle lane of the M4. I can see how some people have said that the riff is annoying, but it works perfectly for me. The last two tracks are a wonderful immersive "epic" ending to the album, something I'm always up for. Think the ending of "The Tempest" by Pendulum, excellent electronic tracks.
Overall, I'd say it's worth a listen if you're into electronic music, it's definitely worth a listen, and there is definitely a track for everyone in it, the style progression ensures that. I really like it, will definitely listen to it again, I hope you all will to
