CRITICS SAID: CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND, USA Stream: Chrome’s Feel It Like A Scientist, their first album in 12 years. Chrome demonstrate that even after nearly 40 years and countless lineup changes, their hunger and curiosity remain just as savage as when the project first began.”
WIRE Magazine, UK “...Chrome are still chewing up rock ‘n roll’s past to regurgitate a dystopian future”
Freq Magazine, UK
“..this is an essential piece of music for the twenty-first century…
“experimental sci-punk masterpiece…Chrome is the perfect soundtrack for the apocalypse…definitely among the best albums I’ve heard in years.” La Pelle Muta, Italy
“…the ghost of Burroughs hovers in the song ‘Prophecy’ and who better than him to describe their world?…This disc is already in my top 10 of 2014.”
I-94 Bar, Austraila
“You need [Feel It Like A Scientist] in your ears, in your gut, in your cells, parasites and in your fucking dna”
SF Weekly
"Prophecy’ is satisfying enough to remind you what you liked about industrial music in the first place”.
Thugbrarian Review, USA “Anne Dromeda adds an extra dimension to the songs, as she has a beautiful voice when she is singing, as well as a sinister edge when she brings the darkness.”
Uncut Magazine, UK “There’s more thuggish rock action on ‘Feel It Like A Scientist’ but songs like ‘Unbreakable Fluoride Lithium Plastic’ are scabrous and overloaded as ever: psychedelia as torched landscapes and industrial accidents”
Relix Magazine, USA “…an hour-long avant-garde spectacle…”
The Obelisk, USA “Anne Dromeda takes the lead vocal on noisy rocker “Unbreakable Fluoride Lithium Plastic” however deep you want to dig, Chrome will meet you on that level…”
Hadits Habits Blogspot: A Thalamic Approach ‘Prophecy’ may predict the end of the world, but not of Chrome!”

In the Key of Change, USA “One song that stuck out was “UNBREAKABLE FLUORIDE LITHIUM PLASTIC”
Le Canal Auditif, France “A very successful album…especially the punk extraterrestrial propulsion of… ‘Lady Feline’, ‘Something In The Cloud’ and ‘Prophecy’.”
Paraphilia Magazine, Third Time’s the Charm: A Digital Q&A with Acid Punk Pioneer, Helios Creed, USA “…The sinister overtones of his grinding vox is countered by the helium-filled backing vocals on the bicker rock thud of ‘Lady Feline.’ The only other bands that could possibly pull off a track like this are Melvins and Butthole Surfers, but of course, Chrome were there first by quite some margin (and the latter have openly cited Chrome, not surprisingly, as an influence on their crazed take on the ‘rock’ sound)….spaced-out synth weirdness collides with frenetic percussion and gritty guitars on the robotix metal of ‘Something in the Clouds,’ which actually boasts a fair hook, too.”
Punk Updates, USA “Single “Prophecy,” was remixed and partially recorded at the historic Capitol Studios C, in Hollywood, CA, with additional vocals by Anne Dromeda and guitar work by Helios Creed…The music for “Feel It Like A Scientist” is composed by Creed and the whole band, with lyrics by Creed, Anne Dromeda and Tommy Grenas, and features one track with lyrics by the late Damon Edge”.
Razoncake, USA
“Highly recommended.
No Compromise Webzine, France
“In short its a real gem.”
The Vinyl District, Graded on a Curve, UK “Prophecy” settles into a galloping thud thick with distorted bass, swells of keys, and a dual guitar maul. The slow fadeout on Dromeda’s distant voice provides a nice touch…”Unbreakable Fluoride Lithium Plastic” sounds just a bit like young Pink Floyd if they’d chosen to Hail Satan, the singing recalling not Syd but John Lydon.”
The New Noise Magazine, France (click images for full article translated) “I love the two covers Monet made for this and ‘Half Machine from the Sun’. They’re inspired by Chrome’s past imagery, but more sexy, which is typical of her work, but were pure Chrome at the same time…On “Prophecy” we recorded Anne Dromeda singing in reverse throughout the song…the lyrics she wrote for “Prophecy” are a mixture of various conversations that we’ve had about chem-trails, Hopi prophecies, as well as some mutual frustration about the overall state of the planet.” —Helios Creed
Orebrostad Magazine, Sweden “I think I’ve found the perfect band finally…” -Helios Creed
Foreign Accents (experimental music blog), USA
“This is a reunion album to be reckoned with.”
New Underground Music Blogspot, Holland
Feel It Like A Scientist’ stands full of delicious songs”
PowerMetal.de, Germany
“This album has real class!.”
Artorarsedistro Blogspot, Sweden
“a great CHROME album,”.
Toby Mearing Radio Show Blog, UK
“this is fantastic!”
Orebrostad.se, Sweden
“you will love this one.”
Psychedelic Trailmix, USA
“Killer record from start to finish.”
Magnet Magazine, USA
“…few of Creed’s peers pursue songs and sounds this blazingly epic and weirdly experimental….”
BCN, USA
“LEGENDARY LEGENDS, Chrome, the mythical avant-acid-experimental outfit recently relaunched by guitarist Helios Creed, drift off into the inner vibrations of soundgasm sorcery on ‘Feel It Like a Scientist.”
Punk News, USA
“Feel It like a Scientist” is something of a contradiction. Without a doubt, it’s one of Creed’s darkest works….But, despite the pontifications found herein, such as being destroyed by giants, sex droids, cat women, and tales of slave planets, the band stops to have fun here and there. “Brady the Chicken Boy” is a minute diversion packed with ridiculously funny clucking… Long time fans will eat this up…maybe the rest of society will catch up on this release as well.”
Rocktober Reviews Blogspot, USA
“post-futuristic… savage, funny, beautiful and wildly weird.”
Cold Turkey, UK
“…this album still sounds ahead of its time.”
Blurt Magazine, USA
“…nobody has ever really sounded like Chrome, but Chrome and that makes ‘Feel It Like a Scientist’ sound as fresh now as it did back in the old days.”
Humo Negro, Spain
“…Chrome again reformed and the band is now composed of Helios Creed and Anne Dromeda(vocals), Keith Thompson (guitar), Aleph Omega (drums), Lux Vibratus and Steve “Trash” Fishman (bass) and Tommy Greñas (synthesizers ). It is this line up of Chrome that is delivering the latest album, by this legendary group which has made experimentation its emblem.”
All Music, USA
Almost 40 years after they released their first album, Chrome thankfully still sound like interstellar oddballs armed with electric guitars and malfunctioning electronics, and 2014’s Feel It Like A Scientist is a remarkably effective evocation of the sound and style of Chrome’s late-’70s albums…This new edition…does have an aural fingerprint of its own — drummer Aleph Omega has a more organic sound than the late Damon Edge, and D.I.Y. technology has improved enough to give this album much cleaner surfaces and crisper production than the sometimes clanky tone of the band’s early work. But the collision of hard rock guitars (courtesy of leader Helios Creed) with non-melodic synth patterns, crashing drums, and various electronic sounds and distorted vocals will be lysergic manna for those who loved this band’s early work…it generates a palpable excitement that’s a powerful reminder that, in an increasingly eccentric world, Chrome is still as bracingly weird as ever…will put a demented grin on the face of longtime fans.”
KLFM Radio Reviews, Croatia
“After nearly forty years… [Chrome] still have not lost their freshness and originality.”
Under the Radar, USA
“‘…maniacally rewarding”
Adopte un Disque, France
“Its demanding and complex…travel to uncharted musical regions.”
Napster, USA
“Creed’s new line up returns feedback, static, B-movie nippers and power electronics to the robo-drone root of Wax Trax!, Voivod and the Butthole Surfer: liquid sludge in “Unbreakable Floride Lithium Plastic”… acid-goth gloom in “The Mind”…”
Classic Rock Magazine and Team Rock Magazine, USA
“Latest album from San Francisco Tech-Metallers…Technology that once was undreamt of and a slickness that comes with age and experience, sees them settle into their own groove on ‘Feel It Like A Scientist’ .”
WFMU Radio, USA
“The Sci-Fi Stooges”
Radio One Berlin, Germany
“This is Sci Fi. I can see this in a new Blade Runner movie”
Daggerzine, USA
“sounding as barreling and punishing as they ever have.”
Stage and Reptiles, Germany"
“Conclusion…This album proves that Chrome’s new and veteran comrades to Helios Creed, harmonize so perfectly with each other that the new album truly need not fear comparison with the old battleships of the Creed/Edge era. A great album!”
Baby Sue Review, USA
“Sixteen cool tracks that prove Chrome is just as relevant today, if not more so, than ever before.”
The 13th Magazine, Argentina
“All of the band’s power, is taken to a contemporary matrix.”
The Big Take Over, USA
”Helios Creed has delivered an album under the Chrome moniker that…rises as a high point in his entire career as a solo artist.”
Punk News, Full feature interview and review, USA
“Why have you gotten darker and wilder as you’ve aged, while most artists get calmer?”
3Voor12 Zuid, Holland
“ ‘Feel it Like A Scientist’ (2014) …proved that Chrome is far from depreciated.”
Ruta 66, Spain
“The Chrome repertoire…has one of the sharpest inventories of psychedelia, minimalist noise, and high energy music…known as the alien bastion of American Punk… this record brings a new sheen to Helios, Chrome’s sulphuric guitarist, and definitely fits into the Chrome saga…”
Onda Rock, Italy
“…the magic [is] renewed…one of the most important names in American underground rock…”
“With a well-planted foot in the past and a firm balance in the present, the Californian guitarist, alongside six new travel companions, descends into more than an hour of deformity (“Lipstick”), stoogesian leaks (“Nephilims (Help Me !) “) in the Hardelica interstellar mode (” Lady Feline “), reverse tapes, voices coming from spooky walls and spasmodic collages (“Prophecy”, “Slave Planet Institution”), hypothesis of power-ballad androids (“Something In The Cloud”), boogie spacconi (“Six”), deformed visions that feed imaginary fantasy scientists of the fourth hand (“Captain Boson”, “Cyberchondria”), Big Brats (cyberpunk), “The Mind” and faded postcards from “Systems Within Systems”, “Nymph Droid “).
Ergo Felix Culpa Blogspot, Argentina
“Chrome overwhelming returns with a new album ‘Feel It Like A Scientist’…This album is a masterful handling of Chrome’s iconoclastic acidity… its a manifesto of the permanence of the Underground”
