Editorial Review: Album Description: Second album (1997) featuring the singles 'Block Rockin' Beats', 'Elektrobank' and 'Setting Sun' (with Oasis' Noel Gallagher on vocals), plus a new mix of 'Get Up On It Like This'. The album debuted in the top 20 of Billboard's Top 200. 11 tracks total on this Astralwerks release. 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 Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - The Private Psychedelic ReelThis 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. Rating:  - 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. Rating: - A terrific masterpieceI really enjoy this album, they have a unique style that reflects many influences. Rating: - Techno's operaAlthough Roni Size's New Forms won the Mercury Prize in 1997, it is very hard to argue that the Chemical Brothers' Dig Your Own Hole does not hold up better than any of the great albums 1997 electronica has to offer. For one thing, it is a matter of consistency; each song flows into the next, making Dig Your Own Hole more cohesive than even mix albums. But unlike mix albums, each song has a distinct quality that sets it apart from the song before it (although "Don't Stop the Rock" sounds like "It Doesn't Matter" Part II). For another, it is a matter of confidence. If this was the first album the Chemical Brothers ever made, it would no doubt be the greatest debut album in electronic music. But it's their second, and the maturity from the previous ... Read More: Rating: - Deal With It!Simply put, this album is the sound of the recording studio ripping itself apart from the inside out. CB create an album that is at once intense,fun,loud,sexy,nasty,techno,disco,rock and roll,etc.,etc. Not for people that don't get into more complex arrangements of music, or not familiar with many genres of music or simply just did not do enough drugs in the nineties. This is not the kind of album that you play for background effect, this is an album that demands to be confronted head on...so deal with it! |
