Man, when this album came out- life was great. We (who are old now) were all raving our asses off at illegal warehouses or on the beach with huge soundsystems- the MDMA was 100% pure, and the music we were hearing was 100% new. Back then, there were no sub-genres in dance music -- it was just crazy music. And this album was on everyone's turntables, in everyone's cassette decks, on all our favorite DJs mixtapes... One of the most classic dance albums ever produced and in my opinion, the best work the Chemical Brothers have ever done. Listen to it with anyone who listened to it back then and I guarantee we can all sing every acid squelch and beat on every track. Shit will get under your skin. From the slower chunky sound of songs like "Chico's Groove(1)," and "One Too Many Mornings(2)," to the faster dance floor stormers like "Leave Home(3)," "In Dust We Trust(4)," and my personal favorite "Song To The Siren(5)," this album will NOT disappoint! (ed.note: This might be the most visceral DM review ever. Buy or die, kid!)
