I like both of them with a slight edge for Dig Your Own Hole

My favorite Chemical Brothers LP is Come With Us

Both albums had a lot of filler. I don't think dance music is all that suited for artist albums (exception, Messiah's 21st Century Jesus album)

But Exit Planet Dust would be my pick though.
 
I would only take maybe 3 songs from any of their albums.. preferably those with guest vocals although I like star guitar and private psychedelic reel

favorite song is state we're in

a lot of this stuff sounds really dated

but to answer the question dig your soul

I think Loops of Fury was my most listened to, then Exit Planet Dust, then Surrender. Not so much of Dig Your Own Hole clicked with me.
 
Their DJ mixes are as good as their albums. Brother's Gonna Work It Out is the first thing I bought from them. Love that mix.

I would say their mix albums are significantly better, I don't think they were particularly good producers(or at the very least, they are hugely over-rated).

Exit Planet Dust, Dig Your Own Hole and Surrender are the holy trinity. I can't choose between them because each of them seem perfectly suspended in the time of their release.

That said: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrB4g4zt_Rk


Yeah I love all three of these albums. Very good memories associated with all three if them. Surrender is sort of an album I listened to a lot before my life became turbulent and changed forever, it's got a sunset on my youth sentiment to it for me.

This question is too hard for me to answer, both so good. Smoke a bowel and get down to a good MP game with this in the background so good.
