| | Customer Reviews: Sublime (16 May 2010)One of the great pleasure of music is the way something can leap out of nowhere and hook straight into you brain. Watching Later one might with usual low expectations when Hot Chip appeard and played 'I Feel Better' by half way through I was hooked and by the next day had downloaded the album. Weeks later it's still getting regular plays. Took my a little while to make the connection with the wonderful My Computers Vulnerabilia, Hot Chip don't have their wild eclecticism but make up for that in stronger memorable hooks. I'm not normally a huge dance / eloctopop fan but once in a while something just hits the spot, and this album does it for me, uplifting yet melancholy - it going to be one of the soundtracks of my summer. "yes i love technology but not as much as you you see..." (21 April 2010)But yes I love technology. Always and forever!" Napoleon Dynamite's older brother and his band produce a good album of heart on sleeve "loving" electro. Title track is especially good - goose bump inducing in this reviewer. Last two songs are a bit damp mind. Dull and wet (13 April 2010)Sorry to interrupt the love-in that's broken out here, but this album is just, well, dull and wet. Liked The Warning, read the reviews here (damn you, Amazon reviewers!) so got this, but it lacks bite, witters on, and is just plain boring. If you like early New Order, listen to early New order, and if you like 80s disco, go to it. Nothing to detain you here! Simply there best to date. More of this please!!!! (09 April 2010)Love this album. Builds on their previous efforts. Now they are on the right track, More of this please. A lovely discovery (08 April 2010)I hadn't discovered Hot Chip before this album - I was intrigued by the reviews I'd seen in Metro/Evening Standard and took a chance. It's a delight - I'm listening to it at the moment. Every time I listen to it I hear something new and interesting. Tremendous fun and entertaining - lyrics are witty, touching, observant, and the music is full of interesting melodies, harmonies and rhythms - it's uplifting and life-affirming. Interesting use of instruments - I would never have expected steel drums to be so delicate. The album is on my computer, MP3 player, USB stick in my car and I'm listening to the CD on the home cinema - ie, it's everywhere! I'll have to get their back catalogue now. |
