Push the Button by The Chemical Brothers
Push the Button is an album by The Chemical Brothers, released in 2004. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 23 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Galvanize”, on 22 lists with a best position of #8.
Push the Button, the Chemical Brothers' fifth album, came out on Virgin, with Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons still stretching the big beat blueprint they'd helped push into the mainstream. This time the rave-up shares space with house, psychedelia and pop.
"Galvanize" is the monster: a brassy, stuttering fanfare over a head-nodding hip-hop pulse, built to get a festival field moving, and it won the Grammy for Best Dance Recording. "Believe" goes darker and colder, all pounding kick drum and paranoid tension. Critics mostly liked it, it went gold in Britain, it gave them another number one there, and in January 2006 it took the Grammy for Best Electronic/Dance Album.
