Product Description
From Amazon.com
To follow up their bombastic 1995 album Exit Planet Dust, the Chemical Brothers fine-tuned their bombastic beats and produced a rock-solid pop album (pun intended). Dig Your Own Hole finds the common ground between rock & roll and techno, both in spirit and substance. Singles like "Block Rockin' Beats," "Elektrobank," and "Setting Sun" (featuring vocals by Oasis's Noel Gallagher) may lack the big hair and pomposity of rock music, but they make up for it in spades, with sampled and real guitars battling for space with sirens and distorted hip-hop drums. The album reeks of pure enthusiasm and energy, evoking a crowd-pleasing exuberance that makes Dig Your Own Hole a Back in Black for the late 1990s. Pure stadium techno. --Matthew Corwine

Don't Stop The Rock and It Doesn't Matter ARE CLASS.,
By
This review is from: Dig Your Own Hole (Audio CD)
Dig Your Own Hole is not merely another EPD. An important album that should be recognised for bridging the gap between Rock and Techno. Block Rockin' Beats and Setting Sun are the most recognised of these tunes, as they feature twisted guitar riffs and drum loops to give something that many of us never thought could exist; Techno and Rock together. However, Tom and Ed don't forget how to make pure, unrefined Electronic music, either, with tracks like Get Up On It Like This, and the trippy Lost In The K-Hole (K standing for Ketamine, you get the picture.) It's a much rawer sound than EPD's, and as such is quite a handful. However, Tom and Ed's highlight is left to the end. The Private Psychedelic Reel. The name alone is enough to realise that this is a mammoth track, which is nothing short of genius. Never have I heard a song a awesome as this. Futuristic sounds and whizzing noises lead to the climactic end, with an awesome electronically enhanced clarinet solo. The track is brilliant throughout. Too difficult to describe it anymore, the best thing to do is listen to it yourself.It places above the commercial misery that is Surrender, but isn't quite as good as EPD on the whole. Oh, and Don't Stop The Rock and It Doesn't Matter are class.

Absolutely Awesome !!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dig Your Own Hole (Audio CD)
An quite breath-takingly brilliant piece of work only surpassed (or equalled???) in recent years by fellow genius' Leftfield and The Prodigy. Dig Your Own Hole is an album where any song can be listened to depending on your mood. The obvious title track & 'electrobank' being the highlights are for when your in the mood for a laugh and 'where do i begin' is the perfect song to chill out to.......SUPERB album shame about the horribly commercial follow-up

Out of date? I think not!!!,

This review is from: Dig Your Own Hole [VINYL] (Vinyl)
Many people I know diss this album and the whole breakbeat scene, but this album takes you on more of a journey than any nu metal garbage ever can. From the hype of 'Block Rockin Beats', stopping off at the f***ed up psycedelia of 'Piku', the rock-techno riot of 'Setting Sun', and the calm of 'Where Do I Begin' and 'Private Psychedelic Reel', this is an abosolute classic. Even if you don't like dance music, this is a must have for any music collection. A true milestone in the British music scene.
