Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
The Chemical Brothers released their third album with their status as one of the UK's most exciting bands unassailable. Surrender, managed to enhance their already burgeoning reputation, drawing on the talents of a formidable array of celebrity collaborators including Missy Elliott, Oasis' Noel Gallagher and Bernard Sumner. The Brothers shifted their attention away from hip-hop breaks towards more traditional 4/4 beats, but their unique blend of visceral energy, inventive melodies and eclectic samples remained unaffected. "Out Of Control", featuring the fragile vocals of Sumner, sounds like New Order on stronger drugs, before erupting into a groovy, guitar-studded monster not dissimilar to many of Underworld's offerings. The fairytale chords and Oriental chimes of "Sunshine Underground" provide a refreshing change in direction, while Mercury Rev's Jonathan Donahue makes a refreshing appearance on the psychedelic rock finale, "Dream On". Surrender is a deeply satisfying album from a band who grow from strength to strength. --Ed Potton
Chronique amazon.fr
Les oreilles malaxées par le rock de Bob Dylan et les synapses émoustillées par l'électro d'Andrew Weatherall, les enfants terribles de Manchester sonnent leur troisième alerte avec Surrender, un album sans faille qui convoque les voix de Noel Gallagher (Oasis), Jonathan Donahue (Mercury Rev), Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream) et du voisin Bernard Sumner (New Order). Alors qu'on s'attendait au retour en force d'un Chemical Beat furibard, Surrender capitule devant la techno-pop inspirée des Frères chimiques. Des influences Beatles de "Dream On" et de "Let Forever Be" aux montées acid trance du tonitruant "Hey Boy Hey Girl" en passant par le timbre velouté de Hope Sandoval (qui joue les Nico sur "Asleep From Day"), Ed Simons et Tom Rowlands n'ont pas fini de mettre la dance music sens dessus dessous... Pourvu que ça dure ! --Stéphanie Lopez

great begining but trails off,
By A Customer
This review is from: Surrender (Audio CD)
let forever be and out of control are possibly the best tracks ever from the brothers. other tracks are ok but last half of cd is suspect with slower songs and are somewhat weak. music response is a crazy track check it out.

I wouldn't call this a follow-up to Dig Your Own Hole at all,
By Lil' Rowlands (Detroit Lakes, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Surrender (Audio CD)
Ok...sure, this album has its UPS for Under The Influence, Out Of Control, Let Forever Be, and Hey Boy Hey Girl...but...I was rather dissapointed on the "style" that they chose to make this album make you SURRENDER to them after hearing the Grammy Award Winner of Dig Your Own Hole. Music: Response was an excellent introduction to the whole CD, but, after that, things started to go a little downhill with songs such as Orange Wedge and The Sunshine Underground. I didn't feel that those songs went anywhere except for in their layed back way...even the song Surrender was terrible. I gave this album 3 stars for a lot of the downfall songs in the album. It is still good to have though if you are a die hard fan of The Chemical Brothers.Thanks.

This review is from: Surrender (Audio CD)
This was my introduction to the Chemical Brothers. I didn't know what to expect. I heard a few songs off of Dig Your Own Hole, but I kept hearing that this album was completely different. Well, that's not exactly true, but it is a good listen. "Music: Response" is quite interesting. It sounds like 1985 rap beats with some weird robot voices. Under The Influence seems to most liked song from the album. I find it to be ok. Nothing spectacular. Out Of Control has the singer from New Order singing and playing guitar on it. This one is quite entertaining. My absoulte favorite songs would have to be Orange Wedge, The Sunshine Underground, and Hey Boy Hey Girl. Those 3 songs alone are worth the price. Orange Wedge is a attempt to do DJ Shadow-like material. The Sunshine Underground is a very pshycadelic song that just builds and builds. And Hey Boy Hey Girl just rules. The only song I didn't like was Asleep From Day. It never went anywhere. I reccomend this album if you're mildly or really into electronica. Enjoy.
