2009-07-04 -- 2/5:: Repetitive, repetitive
There is repetition and then there is irritatingly tedious repetition that tempts one to jab a pencil in one's ear if only to make it stop. This album falls squarely into the latter category.

2009-03-21 -- 5/5:: Classic, High Energy Electronic Music
The Chemical Brothers are a classic name in electronic music, and this album came out right when they reached a level of mainstream success. I've listened to this album since it came out, and I still love it. Give it a listen if you like any sort of electronic music or are new to the genre.

2008-03-07 -- 5/5:: The Private Psychedelic Reel
This album is worth it ENTIRELY for The Private Psychedelic Reel. The rest is just icing on the cake.

At the very least, get The Private Psychedelic Reel MP3 for $2.

2007-08-25 -- 4/5:: four and 1/2 stars.
this is busy music. when i listened to it yesterday it was definitely on the move, off to somewhere. probably a party, judging from the sound of things. parents should keep this cd away from their children. kids might hear this thing and decide that a life devoted to keeping the stock market afloat is not a life at all. corporate profits might suddenly seem silly. the bottom line might be twisted into the bass line. conservative principles could be overturned in impressionable minds. all that could happen. it really could. so, if you are an adult and can keep your cool, then buy this. it's good stuff. just hide it from the kids.

2007-05-25 -- 5/5:: A terrific masterpiece
I really enjoy this album, they have a unique style that reflects many influences.
