I picked up the new Chemical Brothers album...
Lots of electronic musicians would be proud to make that CD. The Chemical Brothers shouldn’t be. Instead of leading the pack like they usually do, this sounded derivative. Dated. The only song I thought truly up to standards was “We’ve Got To Try”.
Or, as my Mom put it, “This album sounds old.”
For diehards & completists only.
OTOH, the new Rival Sons album, Feral Roots is definitely living up to the band’s previous output.
