PUSH THE BUTTON
Chems latest not block rockin'
By DARRYL STERDAN -- Winnipeg Sun

The Chemical Brothers
Push the Button
(Virgin/EMI)

They're back with another one of those block-rocking ... oh, who cares anymore? Only The Chemical Brothers, it seems.

And judging by the joyless plodding and trite predictability of their latest anachronistic hodge-podge of big beats, buzzy synths and crate-digging samples, even they can't be bothered to summon up much enthusiasm.

"It's time to push the button," guest vocalist Q-Tip advises on the opening title cut.

If he's talking about the Off Button, we're behind him.
