referencing Better Living Through Chemistry (2×LP, Album, Reissue, Blue / White Quarter Split) BRASSICHMVUKLP
Interesting seeing people selling this as 'still sealed' considering you need to open it to find out if you have this version!referencing Better Living Through Chemistry (2×LP, Album, Reissue, Blue / White Quarter Split) BRASSICHMVUKLP
How does this sound? Is it worth paying extra for these?referencing Better Living Through Chemistry (20th Anniversary Edition) (2×LP, Album, Reissue, Yellow) BRASSIC2LPS
Sounds excellent. Those of you wondering should just buy it - you’ll be happy believe me.referencing Better Living Through Chemistry (2×LP, Album, Reissue, Blue / White Quarter Split) BRASSICHMVUKLP
Yes also opened and found blue/white quarters and not splatter.
Just waiting to hear if anyone has found a splatter vinyl yet ??referencing Better Living Through Chemistry (2×LP, Album, Reissue, Blue / White Quarter Split) BRASSICHMVUKLP
Yes , I got a sealed copy with blue/white quarter.
I've submitted it as another version.referencing Better Living Through Chemistry (2×LP, Album, Reissue, Blue / White Quarter Split) BRASSICHMVUKLP
Just received my replacement copy. Also not splatter but quarter blue/white and yet again with big fat factory scratch – this time on side 1 though. Will return to HMV for refund – again.referencing Better Living Through Chemistry (2×LP, Album, Reissue, Blue / White Quarter Split) BRASSICHMVUKLP
Anyone opened this to find a white/blue quarter split instead of splatter?- "Better Living Through Chemistry" is the first album from Fatboy Slim. While there are some songs I loved the first time listening to it, there are some songs that took me several listens before it grew on me.
I love the first three tracks, especially "Song For Lindy" and "Going Out Of My Head". "Going Out Of My Head" has that drum beat from Led Zeppelin's "The Crunge".
"The Weekend Starts Here" has a lay back tone to it. It shows that even though Fatboy Slim's main genre is party music, he's capable of making chill tunes as well.
"Everybody Needs a 303" has the sample of Edwin Starr's "Everybody Needs Love" that plays throughout the track. It's funky. But I don't think the sample of the cheering audience fits well with the song. If Fatboy Slim had taken the audience sample out, I think the song would have been better.
"Give The Po'Man A Break" is a cool track. I like that "Give The Po' Man A Break! BAM BAM Give the Po' Man A Break!"
"10th And Crenshaw" is a nice song. It's the shortest track, at 4 minutes and 20 seconds.
"First Down" is the weakest track IMO. Not even the saxophone makes it better. It's not crappy. I just don't think it's awesome comparatively.
"Punk To Funk" is one of the best tracks IMO. The drums to it definitely remind me of the big beat genre.
"The Sound of Milwaukee" is another track I find the weakest. But it's still nice to listen to while driving.
"Michael Jackson" has a cool guitar riff. It's another one of the best songs in the album.
The synth sound at the beginning of "Next To Nothing" reminds me of the PlayStation 2 startup sound. But it's another chill tune from Norman Cook himself.
I like "Better Living Through Chemistry" more than I did the first several times I listened to it. But I'm still going to go ahead and give it a B+.
