Rolling Stone (9/3/98, p.102) - 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...a wicked tapestry of fresh sounds, boomeranging grooves and aggressive fuzz....The Chemicals' music descends like a filmy rain of a zillion fine, tiny pieces of combined and recombined beats, phrases...and repeating riffs..." Spin (10/98, p.150) - 7 (out of 10) - "...the album...deviates from Big Beat's well-hammered agenda, panning out into austere house and moments of pure light....BROTHERS GONNA [is] a journey from Big Beat's drum-crashing core right out to the fringes of dreamy progressive ambience..." Entertainment Weekly (9/25/98, p.106) - "...BROTHERS, the Chemicals' second DJ disc, assembles more than an hour of nonstop, seamlessly stitched-together snippets of old R&B, disco clap tracks, Latin beats, and random sound bites. Alternately fun and monotonous, it's little more than the world's grooviest jogging tape." - Rating: B Alternative Press (10/00, p.120) - Included in AP's "10 Essential DJ-Mix Albums" - "Encompassing their love for old-school funk, minimal techno, big beats and rock riffs....this lays the sum of their parts out plainly for all to see - and to frug like crazy to." Vibe (12/98, 1/99, p.195) - "...Chemicals...use their booth to bury the original jams in their own technofied style....The Brothers' tweak beats within inches of your speakers lives..."
