    The Chemical Brothers released "Push The Button" in 2005, about three years after "Come With Us". While I think it's good, it's not them at their best.

    The first four tracks are great. The title track, "Galvanize" is the best song. "The Boxer" has those big beat influences in it. "Believe" sounds appropriate enough to be played while on the dance floor. And "Hold Tight London" is a little chill than the first three tracks. The beat to it reminds me of a running horse.

    "Come Inside" is not a bad song. But it's not an awesome song. The cowbell, however, keeps it strong. "The Big Jump" is slightly more energetic. But it's another one that's not a two thumbs up.

    "Left Right" is the worst track. I find the "LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT" and the rapping cheesy. It doesn't fit well with the Brothers' style.

    "Close Your Eyes" is another chill tune from the Brothers'. In "Surrender", the chill song is "Asleep from Day". While in "Come With Us", it's "The State We're In".

    The Spanish guitar in "Shake Break Bounce" is interesting. "Marvo Ging" is not my favorite. But I like the drum beat to it. And "Surface To Air" is a perfect song for it to be the final track of the album. Just like how in "Dig Your Own Hole", "The Private Psychedelic Reel" is perfect as the final track.

    It's a good album overall. But it's not The Chemical Brothers' best one. B+
