Here we go

Good insight into the life and times of Tom and Ed but let down by a rather dry and lifeless performance from the readers. Shame as it would have been great to hear it from the mouths of the people directly. Also, drop the Americanisation of the reading please!

Out Of Control

This audio book glides through your senses like a whirling glittering asteroid flying through space, gathering speed and intensity of thought through each galaxy, until it smashes through your cerebral cortex and into your psyche. You can no longer control your movements, as you dance to the words, feeling the warm glowing hum of space, time, love, harmony, and everything in-between.

So disappointing. Lazy and impersonal. Awful narrator. Easily the worst audiobook I've ever listened too.

I didn't think it was possible to make the story of the chemical brothers boring. The format is poor, the information delivered weakly and without enthusiasm. I feel robbed. Don't waste your money.
