De la inceputurile timide Dust Brothers, pana la un big beat adus de "Leave Home", "Chemical Beats" si "Block Rockin Beats", The Chems au ramas conectati la tot ceea ce a insemnat public de-a lungul timpului; nici un alt dance act, de la Kraftwerk incoace, nu a reusit sa se re-inventeze atat de bine.
In 1999 au performat in fata unui public urias la festivalul Glastonbury, cea mai mare audienta pe care celebrul eveniment britanic a avut-o vreodata, iar in 2005 au lansat "Galvanize", care a devenit cea mai "cantata" piesa la posturile de radio din intreaga lume.
De la uluitorul house din "Hey Boy Hey Girl" si "Believe", la psihedelic ("Setting Sun"; "The Golden Path") si pana la acid ("Saturate"; "Out Of Control"), cei doi au aratat o gandire in perspectiva, dincolo de norma stilurilor muzicale si au reusit sa se adapateze, nu doar o data, ci de fiecare data.
Alaturi de clasicele Chimical Brothers, noul album vine cu un CD Bonus, care contine experimentele muzicale de laborator ale celor doi, din 1996, de cand au pus bazele "Electronic Battle Weapon", pana in prezent.
"Brotherhood" este lansat nu pentru ultimii 16 ani, ci pentru urmatorii 16 ani ai proiectului Chemical Brothers.
