Rating: I believe that any music enthusiast, regardless of the genre and the artist, should always be open to other genres and sounds they haven't explored yet...
This is my case because until about a year ago, I listened exclusively to metal, then I fell in love with the sacred monsters of rock, grunge, etc., etc....in short, I opened up...
And well, it had to happen that I fell in love precisely with what I once rejected?? The Chemical Brothers with the much-hated electronic music, sometimes dance, sometimes a bit rave, sometimes techno and psychedelic...the music that pill-poppers dance to in the so-called trendy clubs?????
The truth is that it's impossible to resist these two geniuses, Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons... what is present in Come with us is a melting pot of emotions, rhythms, and sounds that get stuck in your head, hitting you with their aggressiveness and brazenness, in beautiful and pounding songs. My favorites from this album are the title track "Come with us", "The test", "Star guitar", and "It began in Afrika"... in the latter, the "Chemical Brothers" have even managed to insert ancestral tribal sounds... you might say, they don't fit at all... but they do fit indeed!! the result is amazing.. So after the 2 million copies of "Surrender" sold worldwide, this is an excellent follow-up, much better than the last "Push The Button".
In short... with what I wrote at the beginning of the review, I want you to understand that first of all, this album can really appeal to everyone, I recommend buying it (though better to download it); then I hope not to receive stupid comments as has happened before... because it's obvious that one might not like a band, a genre, an album... but to go from there to insulting just to act like jerks behind a screen, well...
BE HOME...THEY ARE COMING BACK...

Come with us
And leave your Earth behind
Bright and clear
We see the light
All universes at your side!
Please lead us to other suns' warm light
Behold

They're coming back
Come with us...
05 Hoops (06:31)
Here I go round again again again...
Think that I'll never come down again again again...
07 The State We're In (06:26)
I've been workin' baby for too long now
Just wanna get next to you boy
I've been searchin' baby, a way to tell you how
Gotta get through to you boy
Never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time
Never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time
All of the time, all of the time, all of the time
You took it all of the time
There's no escaping now
Let me show you how
What it feels to be true
I've been workin' baby for too long now
Just wanna get next to you boy
I've been searchin' baby, a way to tell you how
Gotta get through to you boy
Never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time
Never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time
All of the time, all of the time, all of the time
You took it all of the time
There's no escaping now
Let me show you how
What it feels to be true
There's no escaping now
Let me show you how
What it feels to be true
I've been workin' baby for too long now
I've been searchin' baby, a way to tell you how
10 The Test (07:46)
O-o-o-o-oh
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
yeeeh
Am I coming through?
Am I coming through?
Is this sweet and pure and true?
Devil came by this morning,
Said he had
Something to show me
I was looking like I've never seen a face before
Here we go now, let's slide into the open door
Pictures and things that I've done before
Circling around me,
Out here on the floor
I'm dreaming this and I'm dreaming that
Regretting nothing
Think about that
I'm seeing waves breaking form to my horizon
Yeah I'm shining
I'm seeing waves breaking form to my horizon
Lord, I'm shining
Are you hearing me?
Like I'm hearing you?
Are you hearing me?
Like I'm hearing you?
You know I almost lost my mind
I can't explain
Where I've been
You know I've almost lost my mind
I can't explain
Where I've been
You know I almost lost my mind
I couldn't explain
What I've seen
Im happy now to have seen it
To find that the images are fading away
I'm seeing waves breaking forms to my horizon
Yeah I'm shining
I'm seeing waves breaking forms to my horizon, lord
I'm shining yeah
Are you hearing me?
Like I'm hearing you?
Are you hearing me?
Like I'm hearing you?
You know I almost lost my mind
I can't explain
Where I've been
You know I almost lost my mind
I couldn't explain
The things I've seen
But now I think I see the light
Now I think I see the light
Lend me your hand
Lend me your hand
Lend me your hand
Lend me your hand
Lend me your hand
I'm seeing waves breaking form to my horizon
Yeah I'm shining
I'm seeing waves breaking form to my horizon, lord
I'm shining
Oh are you hearing me?
Like I'm hearing you
Oh are you hearing me?
Like I'm hearing you?
(Repeat)
You know I almost lost my mind
Now I'm home, and I'm free
Did I pass the acid test?
Did I pass the acid test?
(Repeat)
You'd better go to bed now
(Repeat)

Aside from the poor "It Began In Africa," the album is good.
It’s not love, but it’s a nice album. Get my drift?
By karl
The album is formally beautiful, impeccable, with deep bass entering on hi-hats, but there isn’t a single song that makes me want to dig into the pile of CDs and play it right away.
Respect, but nothing more than that.

A work crafted down to the finest details.
Join them and let yourself be carried away by the music that only they know how to create.
