Drum'n'bass, as a general rule, is a genre that's always been popular and attracted a lot of attention amongst those between the ages of 16 and 25. Still, it's also a genre in which most of the artists are entirely faceless. I know a lot of people who regularly go to drum'n'bass club nights, and yet can't name more than 2 or 3 D&B artists. They just know the songs. So, in a lot of ways, Hold Your Colour is an album that's been threatening to happen for a long time - here, for the first time since Goldie, is a credible drum & bass artist everyone can name. "Slam", "Tarantula", and "Fasten Your Seatbelts" have been everywhere over the past year (at least, in club terms), and it's easy to see why; they're accessible and catchy without losing any of the energy or anything-goes spirit that makes all the D&B people can't put a name to so exciting. "Slam", in particular, was one of 2005's finest songs. And, crucially, everybody knows who Pendulum are. There are probably better albums out there (truth be told, 3 or 4 of the songs here are fairly boring), but this is an anomoly; a drum'n'bass record that reached a crowd outside dedicated internet forums. For that alone, it should be applauded.

Totally awesome. That's everything you should say about this album. Genius tracks like Slam, Tarantula or the title-track and a good production. Go buy!

| 1.5 very poor | NickLizard49 | October 2nd 15 |
As a hardcore fan of 90's drum & bass, I could describe d&b as art, evolution, polymorphism, kindness and aggressiveness at the same time, ephemeral poetry of intricate electronic layering. Pendulum replace all of this with dull, flat and extremely ignorant beats and melodies, obviously miserably failing.

This album is literally the worst piece of shit ever. I hate it. Rob Swire is a jerk.

Although I always enjoy listening to their newer electronic rock stuff, the old drum and bass from Hold your Colour is still irresistible to listen to. The only downside is the gaps of silence between the tracks in the 2007 reissue.
