A take-no-prisoners soundtrack to Friday night carnage, the 15-track Chemical Bros' round up manages to cover most of Tom and Ed's bases by refortifying the familiar.
In pure commercial terms this includes all the biggest hitters from Block Rockin' Beats to Galvanize, Chemical Beats and Star Guitar while taking care to also collate the band's major collaborations - most notably the big beat bravado of Let Forever Be and Setting Sun with Noel Gallagher and Barney Sumner's sublime Out Of Control, but also Kele Okerele on Believe.
In merging psychedelia, lush house grooves, high beam Balearic beats and dirty hip hop, they've set the bar plenty high and new tracks Midnight Madness and Keep My Composure are worthy additions to their canon.
