Easily the album of the year. They cover pretty much every genre of electronic music and each tune is a banger.
If you haven't heard it yet, get it (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LA1FK2NW).
nice, I like the Plan B one, kinda 'old' Pendulum but more layered.
EDIT: ooh that analogue shit in eastern jam is niiiiiice (y)

Yeah there are about 5 tunes on there that are flames. Pieces, Smash TV, Against All Odds, Eastern Jam, Music Club and Streetlife are all 5 star tunes for me, and you will hear at least 3 of them at any decent DnB/dubstep night. (y)
The only flaw I can see with this album is that you need a powerful sound system to listen to it properly. It's definitely worth it though, the tracks have so many subtle layers in and some of the drops are just intense. I can't help but start moving to Smash TV when I hear the drop, no matter what I'm doing at the time.
It's really good, it's been on for most of today whilst I've been sat here designing a website for someone.
I find it more productive to work with DnB or breakbeat on in the background for some reason.

My systems nice, I've had it since first year at uni. I needed something to contest this tit in the room below me constantly playing his Gatecrasher shit. I won daily.

It's just because Pendulum are the one DnB group that everybody, even people who know nothing about drum n bass, is familiar with and can refer to.
Get this album.

I wouldn't say good, but as a point the layman can see...
(you want DnB, the checkout Pandacore. Industrial DnB)
Padster.
FYI Against all Odds being played on radio one right now (y)

Ha, about time. Only a year late.
I'm seeing C&S on Saturday. Going to this (http://photos-h.ll.facebook.com/photos-ll-snc1/v1348/12/70/895960857/n895960857_5114759_4467.jpg) for my birthday.
The Prodigy played them on Zane Lowe to last night. Not the besy song off the album though. Keith gave them props.
Looks like a hectic session. Enjoy! (y)

Pendulum are so very, very shit.
They have their place and serve a purpose.

That's an exagerration. You're buying into that elitist bullshit about them "selling out".
True, they have moved away from their original style and hence their original fans in the hardcore scene. Their last album was absolute wank but you can't deny they were the hottest group in it for a while back in the day.

^^I'm going to start saying "back in the day" in place of "last weekend". (y)
I could never really get into Pendulum or drum n bass, so needless to say I don't like it. But the drum n bass heads I know reckon they've always been shit. I dunno, they certainly have a lot of fans.

i think a lot of people think pendulum are shit because of the direction they have taken. Their early stuff is very different to what they are knocking out now and i think some people maybe think they have not fulfllied potential.
Just read a chase and status article in this months mixmag, am very interested, will give them a listen tonight
