Nothing struck me as new or innovative. First off- the Crystal Method are brilliant. Was a bit on the boring side at times and although I'm sure the folks at Nike are happy with it, it sounds pretty bland. If I could describe this album in a word."standard". I had much greater expectations from this ground-breaking duo. It's not 'terrible'. Just too 'generic' sounding for a band with so much character.
Drive was originally released as a workout soundtrack; this review concerns only the full-length CD version.This CD is standard-issue Crystal Method. Not quite the classic that Vegas was, this is nonetheless a solid pickup for Method fans.
I really liked it a lot and use it a lot when I work out and driving. If you are exercising, driving, riding your bike, etc. I was told what CD it was and I purchased it. I purchased Crystal Method's Vegas CD several years ago. However, it's just great music to move by. Drive is great for motion.
Vegas has more of a groove to it (not that it is a groove just more than Drive).
I was also pleasantly surprised to find that Vegas was the soundtrack for the movie "The Replacement Killers."Well recently I thought I would check out more music from Crystal Method.
There isn't one slow song on the whole CD and there are no breaks between tracks--just smooth transitions.
I was not accustomed to that type of music, but when I heard it playing in Borders book store I decided to investigate.
than this CD will be great for you.
I checked out the reviews on Amazon.com and purchased Drive.
At first I didn't think it was as good as Vegas, but realized that the themes are very different.
The CD has grown on me and now I listen to it more than Vegas.There isn't a lot of bottom in the songs (deep bass lines) and it isn't a groove (like R&B, funk, etc).
It grows on you too even if you aren't used to listening to techno music like I was.I recommend this to anyone who wants music to move by such as working out, riding your bike, or like the title says, drive.
this is a review from a true crystal method fan. This is realy a cd for nike but for fans it is a (RUN) throu just about all of thair albums combined in to one.If you own (ALL)of thair albums not just (vegas)you would see that nike picked up the tab for a greatest hit compulation / remix album. If your a real fan or knot and have the lust for electronic music,this will DRIVE you (GREAT ALBUME) 4****
I have liked Crystal Methods work for a while now. This is only OK by compared to their previous albums.
