Format:Audio CD
The Cystal Method return sounding like an adrenaline injected Chemical Brothers on a musical rampage ripping apart heavy guitar riffs and breaking all manner of beats.The energy in all of the tracks flows vigorously and is given a harder edge by the guesting of musicians such as Tom Morello, former Rage Against The Machine guitarist.They manage to nicely straddle several genres, for example Name Of The Game which navagates its way through hip-hop scratches before veering dangerously close to nu-metal territory. Seamless mixing hides a multitude of sins, the most obvious one being the repetitive nature of the drum samples used.However, the album is ideal for getting heads-a-nodding and will no doubt contribute to the soundtracks of several films and adverts in the next few years.Cystal Method have managed to resurrect long dead big beat sensibilities and create something that should have FatBoySlim quaking in his boots, even if its just the juicy basslines shaking the dancefloor.

This album is, on the surface, a more chilled out affair then '97s Vegas, but until the surface we have classic TCM. The 303s are present and abrasively correct, the drum patterns are looser and funkier, but more importantly- The Crystal Method still know how to GROOVE and excite you at the same time. Basically it's pre- going out music, headphone music, annoy your housemates/parents music. The sounds coming from your bedroom are LOUD and BAD but in an unspeakably COOL way! Enjoy folks!

This absolutely Rocks, I mean ROCKS! It is deep and grungy with great breaks and tweeks. If you like the Chemicals you will love this, twice as hard and much more funky. It really does get you moving and dancing round the house. It may be too hard for some but it is thick with bass and oozes with deep vibes.
If you buy one album this year let it be this, you will not be disapointed. It is quite old and cannot believe I have only just managed to get a copy. I have tried getting anything else by the Crystal Method but looks like their stuff is becoming rare?
Try it you may like it but I am damn sure you'll love it!
Have fun!
