The Chemical Brothers Rock My Block With Funky Beats

Date of Review:  Dec 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: Dig Your Own Hole is flawed, but the core of the album is outstanding not to mention some amazing songs. Definitely one of the more innovative albums of the 1990s.
Review: The Chemical Brothers may hail from the shores of Manchester, but their sound has little to do with the baggy movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Creative, wild, original, and entirely unexpected the duo made their debut in 1995 with Exit...

Bring on the Acid!

Date of Review:  Feb 7, 2003
The Bottom Line: Dig Your Own Hole is a good album that will appeal to pop fans that aren't major techno fans, yet won't alienate hardcore fans of the genre.
Review: As far as Techno goes I'm not a huge fan. There are some techno artists that I enjoy; yet I overall prefer straightforward rock made with actual instruments. The techno artists that I do enjoy and listen to include Moby, Fatboy Slim, Meat Beat...

Date of Review:  Oct 7, 2000
Review: If you are looking for some older techno music, the Chemical Brother's Dig Your Own Hole might just be what you're looking for. This is the album that established Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons as a solid presence in the techno music scene.

All About the Beats

Date of Review:  Sep 1, 2000
Review: The Chemical Brothers had already, with their first album, established themselves as beat-masters. Dig Your Own Hole is just another piece of evidence which supports this claim. If you are looking for melodic techno, with symphonic strains, such as...

The Chemicals Breakthrough

Date of Review:  Sep 14, 1999
Review: Dig Your Own Hole is an excellent album in nearly every regard- not just for people into electronica, but for any music listener. I bought the album for "Block Rockin' Beats." Initially, I was turned off by the other tracks. They seemed noisy,...

Distorted vocals, sounds, and minds.

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2001
The Bottom Line: An essential electronica album.
Review: Previously I had heard The Chemical Brothers's "Exit Planet Dust" which I rather enjoyed, but this album is superior in many ways. Some of the sounds on the aforementioned album previewed what was in store (the weird spacey synth noise on 'Chicos...

The biggest beats of all

Date of Review:  Jul 26, 2000
Review: Dig Your Own Hole saw the Chemical Brothers move on from being the guiding lights of bigbeat to it's ultimate assassins. It saw them move from quirky underground experimentalists to become the Black Sabbath of dance music.
From the dark moody...

Rock and Roll Gets a Kick in the Pants

Date of Review:  Oct 12, 1999
Review: I know this may sound odd, but I was ready to declare Dig Your Own Hole the best rock album of 1997. I know what you're thinking... "Dylan! It's a dance album, stupid."

It's a lot more than that, friends. It's the rebirth of rock and...

TRIPPY

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 1999
Review: This CD should always have a spot in any cd changer. Every song provides new beats to move to. This one will go down as a classic so pick it up today. One of my favorite electronic cds, this cd provides hours of trippy listening. For best effect,...

Pick Your Own Faves
