Cross

Not my genre. I don't enjoy this, at all. Quality or not, this is not pleasing to my delicate ears.

Really great. Listened to it on the way to and coming home from work. Listened to it again the next day at the gym and got my HR up to ~180. Great tunes. Even liked that party song everyone hates lol

This is a huge hit of big synths. Exhausting, original and excellent. Solid 4

New duo to me. Very strong album and easily as good as Daft Punk.

It's surprising how modern Justice's debut still sounds. Clearly there is a healthy dose of Daft Punk influence in there but they are doing their own thing with some slightly punchier, beefier, dirtier sounds. The hit rate is pretty impressive, though towards the back-end it does tail off significantly - TTHHEE PPAARRTTYY being the only song that I was totally unsure of.

Never got Justice the first time round, largely still don't. I find it nice enough but a bit boring, i'd enjoy it in a video game maybe a racer, low 3.

Not for me.

It's not my style. I hate electronic music.

i like this genre 8/10

good but not memorable to me

3.5 - fun dance album, engaging all the way through

Banger ablum

RATING: 6.5/10 HIGHLIGHT: Phantom Pt 2 LOWLIGHT: Waters of Nazareth

In French we’d say ‘Oui? Non!’ In Australia we’d say ‘'yeah. Nah.’ 1 star especially as we have to wait the whole weekend to flush this turd.

I am only a few weeks from finishing this project. The end is in sight, and it can't come fast enough. I found this album absolutely exhausting. It's like a cross between Daft Punk and the Chemical Brothers (both of whom I really dig), so I can't explain why I find this so wearying. It's shiny and loud and funky and a bit noisy and energetic, but I just want to put my fingers in my ears and gently beat my forehead against the tabletop. Please make it stop.

This was cool

I liked this

this record is RAD.

Sometimes quite catchy for electronica. But tracks like "Stress" ruin it for me. 1,5

Blind album, know the hit. I am shocked I only know the hit fron this album and wish I listened to it sooner. At the same time though, I understand why the hit is the hit.

Very enjoyable electronica - largely instrumental, some had lyrics - great beats

A one-of-a-kind, beautiful banger

Not bad but also not my thing?

7 keepers in 12 (58%). The album is consistent as hell but Justice 1000% falls into the camp of "All X songs sound the same" with AC/DC. Math says 3 stars, heart says 3 stars.

no estoy lo suficientemente drogada

Coked up French men

Et album hvor man virkelig føler de forstår at dele det op i sekvenser. sangene har meget forskellig energi også mere experimentel på Waters of Nazareth versus Dance som er mere poppet. Alle sange har også en overgang til den næste, så det føltes virkelig som om de har mestret albumformatet. Deres lyd er ikke klassisk electro house men de har heller ikke opfundet det, men deres har det der Heavy metal agtig lyd igennem syntheziserne. Har altid sagt det jo bare er en kopi af daftpunk, men deres egen lyd er virkelig distinktiv. Jeg er faktisk overrasket over hvor positiv jeg var over det fulde album, kunne også virkelig godt lide den der partysang med den kvindelige vokal. Den har virkelig attitude som et hyper pop nummer der er blevet udgivet i dag. Lyttede til det mens jeg var nede og træne og det synes jeg faktisk fungerede super godt. Det er også en del af bloghouse perioden hvor musik blev delt igennem mp3 blogs og blevet remixet konstant. Så det er mere genren end det reelt er electro house. Det blev åbenbart også lavet igennem hundredevis af mikrosamples. Både andre kunstnere men også film osv. virkelig godt

Based album. Staple in the car - introduced by my wife. I know I like this one going in. Cross is a good meeting point for my and my wife's tastes. It's rocky and dark with funky bops, driving beat and electronic tinkling ---------- [Genesis] is such a dramatic introduction man. I absolutely love the tone it sets and where it goes after. [D.A.N.C.E] is an absolute bop with it's funky baseline, chanted vocals and choppy guitar. It reminds me of The Go! Team in style with it's retro aesthetic. Is there something in the French water? They churn out electro wizards at an alarming pace. 4*

Enjoyed this...sort of Crystal Castles/Daft Punk style

A solid electronic album. I felt like Penny Parker listening while working. 6/10

Favourite Songs: Genesis New Jack Waters Of Nazareth

When this came out, my roommates at the time fancied themselves DJs, and this album featured quite heavily in their sets. DVNO even managed to blow the woofers out of my roommate's Sony towers and take out my cheap 80s Marantz receiver at a house party one particularly loud night. Because of all that, I personally don't really feel the need to ever hear this album again, but I gave it a listen anyhow. If I try hard enough to rekindle that original spark, I recall that a lot of these tracks did hit hard at the time. Electronica is not usually my thing, but even then I could recognize that this was pretty artfully put together, and there's a lot more musical depth to it than feels typical for the genre. Several of these tracks were solid bangers; respect where it's due, I suppose I should be generous with my rating here.

Alright electronic. I think other people do it better, but this was one that went hader and got video play, so it's better known

Ég bjóst ekki við danstónlist en þessi danstónlist var bara nokkuð skemmtileg. Það eru bara nokkrir listamenn sem ná í gegnum ódansvæna skrápinn minn en Justice gerði það þótt ég sé ólíklegur að hlusta aftur.

Daft Punk like French electronica. Bit of Funk. Positives- Genesis and Phantom I, Phantom II and final 3 songs. Weaker - Dance - like something from a US Grange Hill type programme charity song- the insipid Valentine and the more disco DYNO. Not enough for a 4.

Another one I stopped-started on, it did grow on me a little - ended up thinking the main vocal track was pretty funny, but the rest was a little to sub-Daft Punk/EDM-y to enjoy - and, unlike the religious iconography, offered little in the way of redemption

It’s daft punk with a bit of daft punk added for variety just with some different synths. I’m not a huge fan of Daft Punk and this is music for people who are younger, cooler, and more energetic than I am these days.

One of the craziest albums I’ve had the pleasure of listening to

This was a weird one, but I didn't hate it.

This is some great EDM. I was vibing the whole time. I listened to One Minute to Midnight when it was actually one minute to midnight so that's cool. D.A.N.C.E is on Just Dance 2, that's cool too. This has probably been my favorite album that largely is instrumental.

Listalla toissapäivänä The Beatles, eilen Led Zeppelin, tänään Justice. Kontrasti on aikamoinen. Jos aiemmat ovat rockin mestariteoksia niin tätä ei voi sanoa hyväksi musiikiksi oikein mitenkään. Olkoonkin, että ei tämä nyt aivan pahimmasta päästä olevaa melusaastettakaan ole. Lähinnä mieleen tulee, että mitä tämä vaatii; riittäääkö MacBook pro ja innostus asiaan? Siltä tämä nimittäin kuulostaa, että musiikin ammattilaisia ei tällaisen tekemiseen tarvita. Onnistuu ihan konesäksätykseem innostuneen teinin omassa huoneessa. Jotain positiivista: Phantom on vallan ok biisi joka tapauksessa. En pitänyt. 2/5

I really liked this album. I knew one song DANCE. Classic, but the other songs were amazing too. Not having lyrics on all but two songs I thought would harm the album, but it actually was an amazing experience. I will 100% listen to it again

(Strong 8/10) Oh my god this album is fantastic The grooves are so good, such infectious rhythms and those synth bass lines are impeccable! There are a few deep cuts that don't really go above and beyond like the highlights here, but I can definitely play this whenever I need a pick me up! So good.

I don't know how I am supposed to listen to this. Somehow both anxiety inducing and boring at the same time. I can't say it's bad, because i don't know what it is. I can say I don't like it though

Different enough from Daft Punk to deserve praise - it's a tall order

Great electronic dance album, this is what Daft Punk should be. Nothing but bangers

I feel like I’ve listened to this before, but God knows when. Very good album, interesting throughout. Favourite track: The Party

I’m not normally a fan of electronica, but the mix of samples here and the beat kept me invested for the whole ride.

Day 365 One year down!! Fantastic album, loved it, will be getting plenty of play from me in the gym over the next few weeks I’m sure Highlights Genesis Waters of Nazareth One minute to midnight

Quality electronic record with some catchy grooves. This isn't what I normally seek out to listen to, but it has its place. I dig it.

The term “slaps” has become meaningless. I’ve heard people use the term to describe somber ballads ffs. Right here, right now, i’m planting a flagpole and saying that from now on when someone says “what does ‘slaps’ even mean” i will say THIS. This album slaps. It’s the kind of music that makes you want to move your head but not in a nodding way, in a way where your jaw sticks out at an odd angle, your lips curl, and, if you’re my age, your neck hurts tomorrow.

Not my jam baby

568/1089 - The variation of textures throughout keeps this really interesting. Nice aggressive sound. Wish this was instrumental all the way through, the vocal songs (besides D.A.N.C.E) are quite horrible. It picks back up with "Stress" though, and that song has a very stressful music video!

Without “Stress” and “The Party”, this would be an easy 4 or 5 stars.

A fun French dance mix album. I typically do not listen to this type of music but always find myself enjoying it when I do. 7/10 Top song... Genesis

Not bad. I think I would still reach for Daft Punk before this to scratch my French electronic music itch.

This is definitely not a bad album. Listening to Genesis, I thought there was maybe a "Thriller" sample in there but it was most likely just my ears playing tricks on me. I had never heard of this artist, never heard of this album, never heard this music, and am pretty much techno/dance music/house'd out at this point. I can't ever decide if this is a compliment or not but I was listening to the album and it just bled into another Justice album. I did not notice. Is that a compliment because the music didn't annoy me so much that I had to get it off my Spotify or is this not a compliment because it means the tracks all sound similar. A little of both, I think. This is not necessarily music for me, as I can get into some dance music, but this is just good enough for me to listen to, but also not interesting enough to me that I would intentionally put this album on. A "5" for the music and a "1" for whether I would listen again just because this is not my type of music and I am very tired of dance music right now. My favorite tracks: Genesis D.A.N.C.E. Phantom Phantom Pt. II TTHHEE PPAARRTTYY Stress One Minute to Midnight

You can't deny that the production on this album is fantastic. The sound is weird and creative, albeit a little annoying (for me) at times. I wish this were more my taste, so I could enjoy it more, but I did admire the technicality of the album. I also appreciated the nostalgiac element because I used to dance to D.A.N.C.E on Just Dance allll the time! Favorite Tracks: D.A.N.C.E Valentine

Do the D-A-N-C-E 1001 Albums Generator 322 (8/6/2026) Justice are the "other" big group in the French house movement of the 2000's, and at times I actually like them more than Daft Punk. The way that they blend progressive elements into their music and the fact that they aren't afraid to play with dissonance (listen to those chords in Let There Be Light!) both lead to a very interesting take on electronic music. that opening run of 3 songs is such a strong start. Ohantom (both parts, but especially Pt. II) is so good and catchy. The worst song is clearly Tthhee Ppaarrttyy, which features really annoying vocals throughout. Overall, Cross is a really strong piece of EDM and a somewhat forgotten gem. 4/5. Favs: Genesis D.A.N.C.E. Phantom Pt. II Least Fav: Tthhee Ppaarrttyy

When listening to an album, context matters. With this, it would have been better to hear at a club rather than my office. But the music was able to fade into the background, which for this genre is quite a feat of obnoxiousness-avoiding.

70’s funk and disco foundation to this electronica probably made it stand out in the aughts.

Nie je to nič pre mňa. Mám rád veľa elektronických vecí, ale toto ma nechytilo. Nič, čo by som potreboval opakovane počúvať. Tým pádom 1.

Not the worst electronic album I've heard on this list. Still not a genre I would generally listen to casually, but this was at least listenable. Would be fun for a party. 3/5 Might listen again

Vinyl Me, Please VMP-E114 (US 2022 reissue) vinyl rip: This takes me right back to 2007. Meant to be played at ear-bleedingly full volume on a shitty PA system. Distortion does nothing to hurt the sound. In some friend of a friend's garage, smoking an entire pack of cigarettes and drinking PBR tall-boys. Is it better than Daft Punk? It's definitely HARDER. Favorite track: "DVNO"

Ok, a French electronic music album from 2007. Not exactly high on my list of favorites, but hopefully not terrible. This album isn't exactly a great album for just listening to, but I suppose that a lot of EDM falls into this trap. It's probably meant to be danced to at raves and parties, not for listening while sitting in bed at 8:30pm on a Tuesday. That said, they do know how to carry a groove. Since I can't really talk about lyrics or hooks here, I guess I'll just say that makes it a good example of its genre. Maybe someone will get something more out of this, but I'm not that someone. This album is ranked #5 of 8 albums for 2007. Other 2007 albums rated by me: Neon Bible(4/8)-2

It’s decent DJ music. It was ok. Nothing to write home about.

Abrasive, glitchy dance with a lot of cut and scratching. Not my kind of dance but there are some personal good moments (3.5)

This was an upbeat and okay listen to a band I wasn’t familiar with previously. Noticed they did a collaboration as recently as this February with my favorite Francophone artist, Angèle. One listen through was enough, but not upset about the exposure.

Some good stuff on here, starts off strong but kind of becomes middling as it goes on. By the end it sounded more like Electronic jarble and less like an enjoyable poppy Electronic album. I like it somewhat, even though it is within a genre I don’t usually listen to. Not really enough to actually actively look out for it and revisit it.

Cross is French electronica that came after the likes of Daft Punk. It's grittier and in some ways that helps it be more accessible to the rock crowds. Heavy on distortion. Did i like it? I didn't dislike it. I appreciate the effort it took to be heard in North America unless you were British (still fairly true to this day), but as far as electronica I would reach for other albums first.

French electronic music just hits different

Por la portada, juraba que esto iba a ser metal o algo rockero pesadón. Resulta que es un disco de electrónico medio fresa, pero no está mal. No es muy mi hit y me la pasé bien, y me sorprendió escuchar el tema de Phantom. No está mal, pero no lo volvería a escuchar.

This is ok.

Stress is a gem in the semi-rough

I really like this , a lot !

First listen I had this on in the background and it seemed alright. Second listen I paid more attention to it and found myself getting a bit bored with it after a while. Dance music does struggle to hold my attention after a while.

My initial impression that this was akin to an AI version of Daft Punk. It grew on me and despite some of the songs being unnecessarily intricate, I really liked the energy. Just needs a bit of soul.

That was a fun, if erratic listen. Strong at the start and the end, bit soft in the middle. Armadillo!

Sorry, not anything I care to hear.

The songcraft and variety saved this from being just another digital headache.

I didn't hate this. I definitely prefer French electronica to English, though I think every single one of these tunes would be improved with vocals. It's hard to listen to this without thinking that it's the kind of thing a producer might present to a hip-hop artist.

Not my cuppa electronica

Good music for mowing the lawn, which I was doing. Otherwise, just another EDM album.

A bit like Air wanted you to be really angry and violent instead of sexy and ethereal. I liked it :)

Started off on a bit weak, and felt it was okay at best but then it built up and I was jamming the whole time. 3.5 stars rounded up.

Listening session: july 26th, while cooking dinner Listened to before: no Thoughts: what is it with french people and dance/electronical music? I suprisingly liked this album (some great basslines), but I found the second half a lot weaker than the first bit Favourite tracks: Genesis, D.A.N.C.E. & Phantom Pt. II

Synthesizer, like the seventh grade

Meh

This album is electronic disco. I don't get this at all. It seems amateur with the cheesy (in a bad way) synth sounds and simple production. The songs with singers are slightly better.

Довольно круто для 2007 года. Хз, что ещё сказать

pure panic attack. no ty

Texturally more interesting than the Daft Punk record. More cohesive than the Prodigy record. This is probably the best dance/electronica album we've listened to thus far. However, as with most album-length dance mixes, there is the feeling that the drumbeat has been set running and everything else is just trying to keep up, that the musicians are just finding things to do over a beat that will go on without them. There is a desperate, scrabbling quality. Of course, the first instance on the record of them breaking free from this is the awful Valentine into Tthhee Ppaarrttyy, which rather suggests they benefited from the restriction. 2.5 This was fine although I worry that Justice thought this was a more interesting and challenging listen than it is. They throw in the odd blast of white noise, a harsh synth voice, or flip half a bar of beats backwards (cringe) but it is all harmless Aphex Twin cosplay. This lot can’t think beyond 4 beats, 4 bars and 120bpm. Essentially Scissor Sisters with a little more self-regard. I have no idea why ‘Stress’ was bothered with - Night on Disco Mountain is edgier than anything here. 1.5/5

Pretty surprised by how much I liked this because I've never been an electronic music fan. I was aware of it because I was living in France when it was released but nobody back home knew what it was. Really liked it again on second listen. The album does a great job of not sounding too repetitive or droning, which is my main criticism of most works I've heard in the instrumental electronic category. Some more hooks and this could've been a 5 for me.

If you're into rave this would sound pretty good.

From TTHHEE PPAARRTTYY onwards, it gets bad.

During this era of indie music there was a score of maximalist artists doing interesting things that seem to exist only in its time. Justice and Ratatat were among them.

Música muy hip!

Heard it before. Oh hell yeah I love this album. I feel like lots of electronic albums, while I like them, kinda have the same thing going on with all the tracks. Here while there's clearly a theme connecting them all, the tracks on their own have their own identity. Genesis feels epic, Stress just sounds like stress, D.A.N.C.E. is the closest to a "pop" single on the album. I just think it's neat 3/5

#414/1001. Second dance / electronic album in a row, and funnily I consider this one more suitable for listening than dancing. At least I've never played it as a dj, and perhaps would be hard to find a song which would suit my set. D.A.N.C.E is just too slow and mellow although it has a nice melody, and the rest is quite a chaotic and fun microsample-hell. Don't get me wrong, it makes me tap my feet, and I really like the sound and the way they construct sounds based on unrecognizable snippets of music - kind of how pointillists started to paint with dots back in the day. But it still sounds fresh - they are not tied to any era's or devices's sound world.

Love this, maybe peters out a little by the end but some fantastic tracks on here

Could not get into this as well. French dance pop that did nothing for me...

Absolutely the finest French EDM duo who don't wear helmets!

It's solid and was probably unique for the time, but leans a little to much into clubbing vibes to fully win me over. D.A.N.C.E. is probably my least favorite song for that reason. Low 4.

pretty good innit. essential quirked up white boy viewing. just makes me wanna speedrun hotline miami till the birds start singin. favorite is Waters of Nazareth because i am basic

Rating: 7/10 Pretty damn good as far as banger House EDM goes. Starts to tire a little from the energy as it goes on especially as there are some weaker tracks in the back half. But it's still cool. Clearly influenced by Daft Punk but not just a copycat, they bring the heaviness that DP doesn't and are in their own lane. And also clearly a heavy influence on the Dubstep and Brostep that would soon take over.

This was fun to critically listen to, and I'll say it's still mostly great. Its strengths are that it's just really unique and creative for 2007 (making it indeed influential as heck). Not my favorite Justice album because it's a little too chunky for me, but the songs are varied, do a ton with tiny little sound decisions all throughout the album, and overall it's just really detailed and purposeful. Phantom I/II and Let There Be Light are my popular favorites, Valentine is the hipster favorite 7.3/10

Ceci n’est pas le Daft Punk

It's really just peak electronica.

Wat een banger van een album. Het klinkt heel zeroes, want de drum 'n bass en dubstep is nooit ver weg. Blast from the past, enerzijds. Maar anderzijds is Justice best relevant gebleven. Als dj-duo in die indiepop hoek. Vorig jaar nog een dikke collab met Tame Impala blijven ze best relevant. D.A.N.C.E. is zo'n nummer dat ik al ken sinds mijn eerste muzikale stapjes en werkt eigenlijk altijd als een tierelier als het zonnetje schijnt. Volume kan altijd een tandje harder, want dan klinken de tracks van Justice het beste. Ik moest mezelf weer even naar de zeroes verplaatsen, maar dan heb ik ook wel echt genoten van de knallers op deze plaat. 8/10 Highlights D.A.N.C.E.

The Party is like an alt Tik Tok, goes very hard. Loved that Stress came on right as I hit a huge wall of traffic driving home in Old Bridge. The electronic songs don’t move me as much as the ones with vocals. A 3.5 rounded up.

It’s 2007. Bush’s Surge in the Iraq War is failing; his popularity is dropping everyday. A new face of the Democratic Party has emerged… Meanwhile, every song is cool and is on an iPod commercial. Every hot girl at your school that’s just a little too cool for you is listening to this album. Everyone is young, beautiful, and nothing hurts.

this gives me hope that daft punk is on here. a classic album in it's own right

some decent tracks

achei ok

This is one of my top 10 electronic albums of all time. I love Justice and have seen them several times including last year with Kaytranada. We were supposed to see them late night at Bonnaroo but rainout Quarteroo/Bummeroo, so had to catch them in ATL. I love creativity and originality. Justice makes their music and respect the indie production. They drip cool live and put on a great show. Since Daft Punk doesn't tour, Justice is the best we have and love them for it.

I’m not a big electronic dance album guy but this one hit just right on a summer drive home from work. Considering a 4 but I need a few more listens - maybe I was just in a good mood

1.6 Sounds like robots gargling saltwater,

Not a huge electronica guy but I love this album. Leave to a couple French guys with an obsession with cheesy 70s rock to make a perfect electro-pop record. I've said for years that Genesis would be my wrestling walkout song. Standouts: Genesis, D.A.N.C.E., Newjack, Stress

I know this band mostly from the Wii dancing carpet thing that came out like ten million years ago. Was pleasantly surprised by DVNO, but the rest was just music that sounds better if you're under the influence of alcohol.

I didn’t think I knew of Justice but I recognised at least two tracks from back in the day when this album had high rotation on Triple J. It made for some good unexpected nostalgia. I enjoyed this classic electronic offering.

Knaller van een album, maar op den duur begint het wel wat te vervelen

Prima bangers en nostalgie. Eerder 3.5

Ik had Justice al hoog zitten maar na de legendarische headline slot op Best Kept Secret hebben ze voor mij de status van legendes in de elektronisch muziek dik waargemaakt. Cross is met afstand de beste Justice plaat, niet omdat de rest zo slecht is, maar gewoon omdat Cross zó goed is. Echt zo'n plaat waar je op repeat naar kan luisteren. Kleurrijk en meeslepend.

забавный, такой Майкл Джексон / хот чип без слов. библейскую тему не поняла) и мне нужны слова!

It’s not an album to be listened to, it’s a revolution to be experienced. These guys single-handedly invented a new sound with Cross, a sound that is still being referenced and straight up imitated to this day (see: Victory by Madeon). I need you to understand how upright and artificial all electronic dance music sounded in 2007. Then this thing comes along. It’s got lungs that breathe French cigarette smoke. It’s got distorted saw synths for teeth. It’s got a heartbeat that thumps at 125 bpm. It’s got a black leather jacket on in the middle of the dancefloor. This record has so much personality and *swagger*. This album sounds so *real*. Their sound is a result of a process Justice is reported to have taken a painstakingly long time to cultivate in fucking GarageBand of all softwares - being very granular about the sampling and sonic textures to ensure they'd sound so ‘human’. Surely this is one of the best album openers of all time. Grandiose horn sample that nosedives into gritty, energetic, angular dancefloor bliss. Smooth transition into “Let There Be Light” that's followed up by the generational “DANCE”? Perfect. I don’t have many words for “DANCE” that haven't already been said about it, I just remember specifically hearing it for the first time and being totally captivated and fascinated by it. A candy-sweet hook with that time-stretched, wobbly kids chorus ran circles around my ears. The melodic ideas that "Phantom Pt 1" holds back on are incredible, it makes the disco-infused part 2 hit that much harder. It's structural decisions like this that make it clear the duo knew they had something special on their hands, their sense of timing and feel for how to heighten the suspenseful sensations is unmatched (I'm talking about you, "Stressed"). They match that sand-paper suspense with just as many tender, playful sounds, like the horn/synth melody on "Valentine". I'm not quite sure I understand the hate for "TTHHEE PPAARRTTYY". The sleazy nonchalant vocals are absolutely apart of the package here. Stuttery, slightly broken English babbling about going out and getting drunk? Sounds like the scene Justice came from. This song also has one of the most measured, punchy drops. I adore the way the bass stabs and synths are chopped in a more minimalist, repetitive way on this one - it creates a spectacular pocket for the beat to sit in. "One Minute To Midnight" feels like a credits roll heroes montage to wrap things up. Like there's another nightmarish, leather-studded dancefloor to go tear apart. One of the highest praises I can give this album is how instantaneously replayable it is. Your could loop the tracklisting to start again right as it ends, and it still makes total sense. Cross is such a tightly-woven, insular experience. It strong-arms together a pure love for cathartic 4-to-the-floor energy with the visceral, humane nature of a real rock'n'roll project. An improbably perfect album, likely the best (and most obvious) this list has to offer for electronic music. I'd give it 10 stars out of 5 if I could.

Je disais ça à Steph hier que notre petit ami Christopher était fou de Justice (et de MDMA). Effet osmose aussi pour moi: je me suis déjà tapé un show de Justice. Je ne me sentais pas à ma place.

Gros album de fin du secondaire, quand le 'Tecktonick' était all the rage. J'ai jamais embarqué 100% dans la frénésie du house, mais j'ai beaucoup d'amis qui écoutaient Daft Punk, Justice, Ratatat, MSTRKRFT à l'époque et ça a percolé par osmose. Il y a des belles lignes de bass et des beaux beats. Le cover est joli. On s'ennuie pas sur cet album! Mais j'aurais jamais pensé qu'il ferait les 1001.

wannabe daft punk. Mais j’aime ça quand meme D.A.N.C.E classique du millenaire et Stress avec le videoclip de Romain Gavras et son ambiance anxiogène sont assez geniaux.

meh

Nice strong dance record

They were OK. Standard techno punk

엘범 재킷은 예뻤고, 노래는 내 스타일은 아니었지만 나쁘지는 않았다. The album cover was pretty, and while the songs weren't really my style, they weren't bad.

Too much distortion for my liking.

Whoever was playing bass saved this from a 1 star result.

Very good EDM album

I've been on this planet for 60+ years, and heard a lot of electronic and dance music. Most of it has been enjoyable, with Kraftwerk (for example) having earned a permanent place in my play lists. This album, however, is one of the worst I've ever heard. Truly abysmal.

Okay, menacing. Very foreboding. What. Oh. Cunttttt wait. Wait fuck yeah. Lasers. I'm scared but also interested?? Tell me more?? Maybe I'm into this?? Oh transition hello. That was seamless. Why are we operating heavy machinery. I'm in a warehouse idk why. Okay icl there's a fine line between edm and noise pollution and these guys I think don't have a super firm grasp on it. But I'm still feeling good about this. Oh my god this is the trolls song. Holy shit. Good song a little repetitive but such is the nature of the genre. Enjoying this. Why is France always at the scene of the crime. I liked the music better when I thought they were a girl. Damn becoming a little disillusioned with this ngl. Favourite: Genesis Least favourite: Let There Be Light

10/10 album phantom and Let There Be Light are amazing!! Rating: 5/5 GEMV (29.06.2026)

I'd enjoy this poppin" bottles, dancin' my face off, doin' molly at the cluh. Can't imagine listening to it regularly by myself though. D.A.N.C.E. is a recognizable tune. Stress sounds exactly like a song Kanye would release a controversial video for on his website.

If only I could rate this album 350 out of 5! Truly magnificent. Exploring all sorts of genres, this album has everything. As it's turned out still by far their best work also.

That was a lot of fun, better than I anticipated

Annoyingly tedious. Someone pressed the Demo button on a Casiotone.

What is it about the French and excellent electronic music? Jean-Michel Jarre, Daft Punk, M83, Air, Justice. Love it.

Surprisingly good to work to.

This album had a lot of annoying noise that was sending me into a rage from the irritation at times.

This was good

Electronic will always hold a special place in my heart and I acknowledge that bias, but this is truly one of the greatest of all time. It’s unbelievably catchy, immersive, and impressive. It sounds sooo ahead of its time and has influenced so much EDM since. Also you could write a thesis on the impossibly large amount of samples and how precisely they’re mixed and used. Phenomenal stuff, 10 out of 10 out of 10, would Cross again.

I liked this. It had some energy. Made me want to move.

banger

B/c it's smarter than you think it is but as dense as you'd hope it would be, Justice's debut is a massive success. The duo samples like DJ Shadow, but the American is all heart and all cerebellum whereas these Frenchies, tho they got some heart & some brain, are mostly in it for a good time. At the end of the day, they make pop music, & being impressive composers of actual songs, they're responsible for some pretty great pop music. I know where I was when this came out, but all I heard from it was that ubiquitous 'D.A.N.C.E.,' & I never paid it any mind. That track happens to be only one of twelve memorable songs that populate this now classic record. It's a work of art that's never boring not b/c of its somatic ideal but in spite of it.

já perceberam como música eletrônica só é boa quando tem influência disco no meio? disco maior genero musical do mundo e vocês lidem com isso. a frança talvez mereça alguns direitos por conta desses queridos e daft punk.

Didn't know this, hadn't heard of them before... turns out to be Daft Punk with a different name. Anyway, not bad. Heard before ❌️ Listened this time ✅️ Revisit ❌️ ★★★☆☆(6/10) Total reviewed : 358 Already owned : 79 Purchased : 16 To buy : 4 Nope : 259

Surprised I was familiar with three of these songs. A little too tech-y for me but not a bad album.

Dirty supersaw og mye sidechain på bassen er oppskrift på kult, men det er blir også litt one trick pony i lengden. Peaker med åpningssporet. Shoutout til Tthhee Ppaarrttyy som oppfant Kesha to år før hun ga ut TiK ToK.

Inneholder minst tre megabangers, deriblant «Genesis» og «Tthhee ppaarrttyy» og den mildt sagt avhengighetsskapende «D.A.N.C.E». Saftige basser og hooks gjennom hele, men blir litt for heftig med ravedelen for min del

Okay like really good obviously

For EDM, this is fine. I knew D.A.N.C.E., that's a jam. The rest all just started to sound the same after a while. DNF (3)

Ok.

Dummy's will say this album is trash. dummy's don't know it's for mixing live.

Прелесть, надо переслушать

Back to back with Basement Jaxx. More than I can handle. "A dance music duo who redefines what that means" is how they are listed. This was Grammy nominated, hmm, I've never heard of this or them. It's waaaaaay better than Basement Jaxx, that's for sure. Still soulless and robotic though. 92M people have listened to "Genesis" and 168M have jammed to "D.A.N.C.E." (never heard it) so they have a following. Impressive listener counts from top to bottom with only 2 songs under 8.5M listens. I'll give them credit for that. Could I ever sit around and listen to this? Fuck no. Again, soulless and serving only one purpose. I'd last 20 minutes in a disco playing this overproduced crap. Highlight was easily "Phantom", killer groove. Then "One Minute To Midnight", both felt like songs that are danceable but not strictly for dancing. 2.5-3 stars, just average stuff, no hits, nothing groundbreaking.

Generational album. Everything on this record sounds so intentional to me.

You already know

This is a classic period. The samples and production on this are just insane. This is the EDM album that you listen too if you are into rock music. And if you never saw Justice live, you don’t know what you’re missing.

i’m a notorious justice rejecter - not because it’s bad, just because i’m a lyrics person and i cannot emotionally connect to music that goes untz untz untz for an hour. that being said, this is good and i cannot disrespect my husband by giving it anything less than a 4.

The grooviest album of 2007

This was not a group I’d heard of and from the cover art and group name I wasn’t expecting groove heavy techno.

A very fun and easy to listen through electronic album. I had heard one song before but never anything else from this band and the other songs were what I was expected, in a good way. I would love to have a few faster songs mixed in but that doesn't change that most of the songs fit really well together and definitely some songs added to lists for later playback.

And a half. Brilliant

First time I've thought about Justice in years

Excellent, one of my go to's out a run (4.5)

Makes me want to lose the run of myself. 3.5

I am 18 years old again playing D.A.N.C.E upstairs Diceys and nobody likes it but fuck I love it

Saturday, 13 June, 2026 Why is this album on the list, but Daft Punk’s Discovery isn’t? It’s good. I would never listen to this over Discovery or Random Access Memory.

This is a surprisingly fun album. Especially considerinh how much work went into arranging and programming it. It still sounds fresh and light and like a good motivator on a Monday coming to work - or leaving for the weekend on Friday.

Yeah. Pretty good. As an electronic album it's really good. It feels almost like a movie sound track, not like an action movie but a low stake mystery, very eerie but almost like background noise

I enjoyed listening to this but don't think I'll play it again. It's a bit much: heavy, fuzzy electro beats, but make it disco

2/10

Electronic dance mix. Enjoyed the reminder of D.A.N.C.E., but could have skipped the rest of the album. Not sure why it merits top 1000 historically or musically.

Super fun and varied, love this style

Mix of nostalgic edm from the 2010s and video game music. 3.4 stars.

Genesis 3.3 Let There Be Light 3 D.A.N.C.E. 3.1 Newjack 3 Phantom 2.7 Phantom Pt. II 2.6 Valentine 2.4 Tthhee Ppaarrttyy 2 DVNO 2.7 Stress 2.2 Waters of Nazareth 2.4 One Minute to Midnight 2.6 Score: 2.666666667

Shocked by how much I loved this. It had funk, it had stank, it was really fun to listen to. DANCE unlocked some core memories playing it on a dancing game on the Wii in the early 2010s. Great intro to this style of music

I either loved it or hated it!

It did improve as the album progressed, but there's much better examples of French electronica out there.

I've proudly worn one for over 100 years.

As one half of legendary electronic music duo Houmous & Chutney, I can really appreciate this album and what they were trying to do. 4.6 6/13 Phantom PtII

This was banging.

Näää, damit kann ich nix anfangen

This is an interesting discovery! Before today, my knowledge of French electronic music stalled after Air and Daft Punk, Justice have added a new, harder edge to the group. Although the opening 4 tracks aren't particularly memorable, Phantom grabs your attention and then there are multiple highlights, such as DVNO, Waters Of Nazareth and the stand-out Stress that is a full on sensory experience, thrilling and unsettling at each beat. A slow start that became a satisfying find. A solid 4 stars.

Oh good. British electronica dance music. Just what I was missing in my life. Thanks MI6!

YGBFKM! Enough of the weird electronica crap. 1.

This one has aged really well. To my ear, maybe the best electronic album on this list and a super fun listen regardless of genre.

should be a one but D.A.N.C.E. is pretty decent so it's a two overall

Nice to get a 21st-century album, and something completely new to me. Also nice to get a French-based album, as there's not much of that in this collection (although I'd never have guessed their nationality given that they never sing on the album), and an interesting choice by the duo to characterize the album as "opera-disco", although that seems pretty fitting somehow. I'm also impressed with their patience in using literally hundreds of "micro-samples" throughout from all sorts of genres and sources (e.g. Slipknot, 50 Cent, and Queen all in the opening track). There's definitely a lot of fellow countrymen Daft Punk on this album--especially on tracks like "D.A.N.C.E" (with an impressively hypnotic video that highlights its homage to Michael Jackson) or "Newjack"--but they seem to have crafted their own sound much of the time, epitomized by the track "Stress" with its incredibly disturbing and violent accompanying video. I'm not sure I'd seek out this album again (and definitely won't re-watch "Stress"), but I can think of far worse ways to spend 48 minutes, and I really enjoyed how the album got more interesting and varied as it went on.

This wasn't that interesting to listen to and would be incredibly boring to dance to and I'm really not sure why anyone would choose this over any number of excellent EDM or rave tracks out there. Also, I had to ask my significant other to listen to make sure the fuzz and dropped sounds were deliberate.

I remember tracking this album down after hearing “D.A.N.C.E.” for the first time, and I feel the same way about it now as I did then. I like it. The beats are great, the production is huge, and you can’t help but get pulled into the groove on most of the tracks. This is a great electronic album, full of energy and personality without overstaying its welcome. More than anything, it instantly transports me back to the late 2000s. Good times.

Those French people know how to write good electronic music! (3.5 up)

Aggressive, edgy dance music that’s not actually all that danceable, full of clever tricks but ultimately the end product isn’t necessarily a record you want to listen to.

I loved this album when it first came out, listening again now it sounds really of its time I guess. Still good though, and very representative of the popular electronic music of the 2000’s

Starten på det her va en uting, fortsettelsen va ikke så ille, men generelt va det nok ikke helt min greie.

Dance music but ramped up to 11. 48 minutes but remained interesting throughout, another good one to whack on while running.

Never listened to the full album, but it feels like one long flashback to the 2000s explosion of dance music with daft punk and deadmaus blowing up, this could arguably be the third leg to that stool.

2 minutes in and this shit is going to be painful. On the second song now and it's somehow worse. This shit is absolutely terrible. It's not even interesting like Duck Stab. Honestly, this is making me want to increase Duck Stabs rating. Fuck this album. This is borderline not music.

Interesting

An electronica album where you actually wanna get down to? Sign me up!

Electronic music with slap bass, very good combo. DNCE is the standout song where the beats, samples and groovy basslines mix in the best way. Compared to Daft Punk which this draws from, Justice presents a more varied soundscape with more movements. Making the songs structured more like a rock or pop song. Its best ideas are on the first half of the record though.

I did say out loud "oh this is a banger"

Fine, decent dance music. Repetitive. “D.A.N.C.E.” is a keeper.

All’inizio ero gasato ma più andavo avanti meno ero entusiasta

Et af de bedste elektroniske albums vi har haft. Stor 4

Fik mig til at cykle totalt unødvendigt hurtigt i en hedebølge i går

Ahh yes, Justiiis - Cross. One of the only good experiences I ever had while being high, was lying on my back with the speakers just above my head listening to New Jack. 🤯

A few songs you could maybe do without but still a great modern album 4.5*

Enjoyed this a lot. Not my normal listening but this got a few plays. Sounds a little dated now compared to new electronica but on the whole, great one

Literally awesome

i remember the hype when this came out, and listening and it just wasn't for me. let's see if time has done it any favors. update: nope, still not for me.

ugh

Like Daft Punk but with a cinematic feel

I'm not sure I would've described other albums on this list as painful, but this one is pretty close. When it calms down the melodies aren't completely awful, but that's damning with faint praise An assault on the senses with little to no redeeming qualities: not one of my favourite geometry dash levels

What I can give it is that it didnt bore me. It felt like one big song, and was decent to listen to while doing ither things, but overall not fully my thing. Sounded alot like Daft Punk to me, but I have 0 experience with the genre.

not a fan of electronic music so i was probably never gonna like this... i feel like i could enjoy this at the club but otherwise would never listen the song "D.A.N.C.E." is the only one i recognised, unfortunately i HAAAATE the use of children's voices, it makes it so annoying and grating. Sadly i liked nothing about this. the electronic songs i didnt like and the lyrical songs were worse. Its getting 2 stars instead of 1 because i think I could dance to it at the club if i was drunk maybe i could enjoy some of the songs

I can get with some EDM but this is just grating. Terrible

1.1/5 Not a style of music I really enjoy. If I was at a dance club I'd probably like it but not just to listen too.

I liked this album. A lot of catchy tunes, but not enough to hold me through multiple listens. There are a couple of songs and melodies that I love and will always remember, but a lot of it just recycling an idea for a loop that was great for 15 seconds but gets old by minute 2 or 3 of a track. Somewhat soulless at points as well. 3/5

Oh I do not like. Fav song is ‘THHEE PPAARRTTYY’.

Everything on this is so crunchy. Love the flow between songs as well. Genesis is a killer opener. Also creating a song based on the stock Apple horror sound effect is genius. 9.5/10

Justice’s album Cross is a masterclass in French touch evolution, breathing new life into their discography with seamless, high-energy transitions. The "Genesis" track serves as a powerhouse opener, setting a cinematic tone that immediately grabs your attention, while the bassline on "Phantom Pt. II" is nothing short of "sick," providing a gritty, driving pulse that anchors the set. The album shines during its peak club moments: "DVNO" remains a clean, crisp, and undeniably groovy dance anthem, while the live rendition of "Stress" is masterfully hypnotic, perfectly capturing that titular anxiety before offering a much-needed sonic release at the end. For those seeking a deeper, industrial edge, "Waters of Nazareth" delivers a complex, distorted landscape tailor-made for a dark, underground rave. While the mid-section of the record occasionally dips into "meh" territory with less impactful fillers, the highlights effectively channel the soulful bounce of Kaytranada and the robotic precision of Daft Punk, making it a worthy, if slightly uneven, journey through Justice’s iconic sound.

10/10 The album that introduced me to electronic music. Holds up perfectly to this day

Skjønte aldri hypen med Justice. Denne føltes allerede datert når den kom i 2007. Veldig repeterende og enerverende. Den er ofte på grensen til å gjøre noe kult, men klarer det ikke.

Ble litt for mye med et helt album. De kan absolutt lage fengende musikk.

Rett og slett litt for lang. Kunne hatt 32 minutter som va helt knaill.

Repetitiv og kjedelig elektronika. Husker hiten D.A.N.C.E. og hadde trua på at dette kunne være gode greier, men selv den låta har tapt seg.

The descriptive blurb noted that over 400 song snippets were sampled to make this. Unfortunately, effort expended in the name of making unmemorable music results in… UNMEMORABLE MUSIC. Half of these tunes sound like background music to me, and the other half like some weird combination of carnival music, disco, and maybe something I might listen to at the next rave I attend, if I were to ever attend one.

Really, really not my cup of tea. Never heard of them before this, suffice to say I won't be making further inroads in to their back catalogue.

DNF

I enjoyed it but probably won't be returning to it much.

This isn't Monster Magnet at all.

This was very bad. It’s better than that Mariah Carey bullshit but not enough to get over a 1.

Absolutely a jam in fine Daft Punk tradition, but maybe a little too samey

Techno, not a big fan. Some tuff beats

4/5. I will openly admit that electronic music is my largest musical blind-spot. It’s the broad umbrella genre that I’ve heard the least albums in and know the history of the least. what I do know though is that Cross by Justice absolutely slaps. That opening punch of Genesis+Let there be light+D.A.N.C.E. Is some great stuff. The magic to this album is the sheer amount of distortion, which gives it such an interesting sounding texture relative to other electronic/dance albums from its time.

classique

4.5) pure pleasure

It's fine! Not my cuppa joe

It’s the summer of 2007. In six months the banks will fold in on themselves and times will get tough, tougher than these millennial kids have probably ever seen. They’re going to need to D.A.N.C.E. to make it through this, and Justice will be right there with them. Right now though? It’s the summer of 2007. Party on.

Really like this album a lot - listened to a few of the tracks on here back when I had a phat sub and 6x9 speakers in my old car. Best days. Really dig the 'hot' production on this stuff. Favourite tracks: Let There Be Light, D.A.N.C.E, Phantom Pt. II, DVNO, Stress, Waters of Nazareth, One Minute to Midnight.

Better than I remembered, great album to workout too but it's not my favourite genre

meh.

Enjoyable. Bit different to the usual stuff on this list. Big fan of the album cover.

Face-melting

Some 4-5 tracks but not very likely to listen to the whole album

Okayy

Yes yes yes! Love the French DJs and electronica. This is AWESOME.

Nicely put-together EDM.

Once I got over it being electronic it was fine

Starts off pretty hot but cooled off by the back end.

1. TTHHEE PPAARRTTYY 2. DVNO 3. stress hm: new jack, D.A.N.C.E

Justice: “The Cross” THREE STARS * I wonder why out of the 1,000s of electronic albums this one made the list. Only the 11th album on our listening expedition, perhaps another two dozen of the genre await. Since I am not an expert on the subject, and I did not explore any background to the group or record, there could be groundbreaking qualities that I missed. This 2007 effort is certainly a fine one with an interesting mix of qualities. “Phantom Part I and II” have a disco funk quality that livens up the record. Those two give way to “Valentine”, which has a great piano part. The opening track, “Genesis”, immediately grabbed my attention with an insistent bass line. The record also included some noise elements that seized my attention, although not always in the best manner. At times they tossed vocal urging and messages like the beginning of “Tthhee Ppaarrttyy” that I found more distracting than useful. It is easy to gloss over impressive segments of instrumental music. Without vocals, and often clear definitions of different songs, I can fade in and out as a listener. Is there enough to this record and others to keep me listening for an entire record? File away to come back for another session? This one definitely qualifies, but would it have done so without the artificial requirements of the 1,001 albums project?

The opener crushes. I want more albums to open like a storybook. Sets a tone. Also, like "Let There Be Light" for its interesting movement. "D.A.N.C.E." ruins the beginning flow with its Kidz Bop sounding voice and becomes more watered-down plain sounding. The more sluggish damp sound continues from there, recovers slightly, but any time vocals come in I roll my eyes ("TTHHEE PAARRTTYY"). Falls flat and starts becoming repetitive by the end where I feel I could've really liked some of the tracks had the previous ones not bored me before. Some songs needed to be cut. A long album for this style of music doesn't work in my opinion. Becomes monotonous.

Quite the penitential experience

I was expecting something more akin to Air, only to encounter multiple samples. All a bit incoherent but OK once I got into the groove.

French electronic music duo are 4 words that shouldn’t be combined. Dreadful

It's said that repeating the phrase 'French Disco' 5 times in front of a mirror will invoke a musical monster. Et voilà, a Frankenstinian album created from 400 micro samples (whatever tf they may be). And like the eponymous monster, it might be misleading to go on first impressions that it's all a bit shit. Sure, there are liberal doses of French cheese. But you don't have to wait too long before a good bit comes along. 3*

This is a fun album with some amazing song writing and danceable jams

not for me

didn't finish

I never heard them before. I jammed out all afternoon to this

Seems like Gene of “Bobs Burgers” got some new equipment for Christmas, ate a bunch of candy and soda, and mixed this one up.

auditory hell. sounds like a group of kindergartners playing around with a synthesizer. there are many many better techno, dance, electric musicians than this. Avoid at all costs.

I guess I like French electronic music more than English. But only just.

Mind numbingly repetitive but I might like this more if I liked to dance.

TAKE ME TO FRENCH EDM SCHOOL PLEEEEEEAAAASSEEEEEE

Immaculate, extremely impressive production.

Not for me, but I get it. I'd listen to this freshman year of college album on a run. ⭐⭐⭐/5 Highlights: "D.A.N.C.E." "New Jack" "Stress"

Electro disco beats. Very similar to Daft Punk with a smidge of Deadmau5. Serious electrofunk: "Newjack", "Phantom", "Waters of Nazareth"

Relisten So close to a 5/5 but the two vocal tracks are really annoying and break up the album in a really bad way. The rest of it is fantastic, I just can't listen to TTHHEE PPAARRTTYY without getting a little angry Favorite Tracks: D.A.N.C.E., Waters of Nazareth, New Jack, Phantom Pt 2 Least favorite: TTHHEE PPAARRTTYY, DVNO 4.5/5

Not as good as Daft Punk or Air but better than David Guetta.

No for me, just churning, obnoxious noise. Far better examples of influential electronica out there.

Great album cover. Started off strong but got a little bored. Maybe if I listened to this outside of work I would’ve liked it more. High 3

Listen I like EDM as much as the next ABG out there but this was boring. 3/5

Lit

Amazing debut album that kicked off an entire resurgence of punk. Chocked full of hooks and great riffs

wild 7am listen

fun! 3.5-4ish

i really like this

Hated the opener, which coloured my entire first listening. Which scared me because wiz-kid sez that means I have 0 taste. So I took his advice and shuffled, started off at D.A.N.C.E Much better. Even the baby vocals started working for me. Opera Disco, more surprises from the list!

This seems like a very well-produced album. The sound has a nice richness/depth to it. This isn't the type of music I usually gravitate towards, but I found this pretty cool. I've heard D.A.N.C.E. before (so much at the hive) and it's a great track! Controversially, I actually really like TTHHEE PPAARRTTYY! There's something satisfying about the pairing of that type of melody & lyrics with the underlying synth harmonies. It's a well-thought-out album with great cohesion.

I’ve been looking forward to this day! Justice one of my earlier introductions to electronic music. With songs like Stress and the overall style being a wonderful bridge from my heavy metal influenced youth. I’ve listened to this album hundreds of times and always enjoy coming back to it.

*As James refreshed the page, a black cross popped up on screen which immediately transformed his mundane expression into a wide grin* This is an all time fave of mine, and has been for a longggg time. Sits snuggly amongst my top 10 albums ever. I can't even remember where I first saw or heard this, I think my brother might have put me on it back in middleschool or early highschool as he had the CD. Nostalgia aside though, this album is a perfectly crafted electronic masterpiece. There isn't a single moment or song on here where the energy dips, not one. Shuffling the tracklist would be like reaching into a box of crayons, whatever song you get is going to be a completely different colour, but they're each still branded with that classic Crayola look which gives them a welcomed cohesion. Compared to yesterdays Elton John album, where if you were to reach into an Elton branded box of crayons, the only colour you would pull out would be a shade of orange. (Is this a stupid analogy? Feels like it works... so I'm going with it...) The transitions are tight, each song flowing into the next, which is rare to span the entirety of an album. If you were to play them on their own they still work just fine. The layered synths and electronic sounds are simple, yet so complex once the intricate drum patterns come in and start cutting up the rythym, paired with interesting sounds being used to keep it fresh as the melodies repeat themselves. If this album didn't make your head bob, or make you feel like you want to D.A.N.C.E either your paralyzed from the neck down. Or you have absolutely 0 taste and only listen to generic pop & rock music in which case you should be ashamed of yourself. 10/10 no questions asked. Fight me.

Overall pretty generic electronica, had a fun sound with some good to listen to songs.

ouvi with the Beatles e essa no mesmo dia - 21/04/26 uma surpresa positiva aqui, começando já assim genesis tem uma gama de samples grande: prince, queen, 50 cent, slipknot, música clássica transiciona smooth pra let there be light (banger) que vai pra D.A.N.C.E de uma vez (sensacional a interpolação vocal e o instrumental feito em cima dela) newjack prova que os caras tem um bom ouvido pra samplear e montar música em cima disso - difícil acreditar que tudo nela é feito em cima de uma única música a transição pra phantom tbm é insana os barulhos meio vocais parecem um alien da melhor forma possível - eita ouvidinho pra sample esses barulhos meio estourados metálicos coçam uma parte específica do meu cérebro a produção de momentos de silêncio alternando com graves e melódicos tbm altera a química do meu cérebro phantom pt. II transicionou lindamente, só diferenciei pq teve melodias e um baixo pique Thundercat de novo temos interpolação de Britney (D.A.N.C.E) em valentine e que melodia foda eu acho que eles gostaram de samplear a Britney em me against the world hein, música no fantástico já sentindo que essa vai ser o único ponto negativo do álbum hein, infelizmente senti um pouco errado, os vocais estragam um pouco mas não tanto assim, eu entendi a vibe esse DVNO tem uns vocais meio estranhos, o tom dele fica meio bosta mas é parte da vibe eu acho, a sonoridade consegue ser interessante de qualquer forma pela produção nessas duas últimas - ela melhora os vocais, e assim como o resto eles viram um elemento para textura a sonoridade desse álbum traz o eletrônico em uma das formas mais funky que eu já ouvi a stress de fato tem um instrumental bem stress, dá um negócio meio ansiedade esse início mas acostuma, como eu falei tudo acaba virando textura pela fluidez esse 808 mega textura em waters of Nazareth, mds como esse álbum faz isso bem caralho 23:59 mds, mto bem produzida a melodia grave e todo o resto da música e do álbum tiro a conclusão de que esse álbum eletrônico é sensacional e até pra mim que não gosta do gênero impressiona as nuances e camadas que faz isso funcionar. é tudo muito bem feito e articulado, o autoral se dá na reinvenção e isso fica muito foda um álbum que eu tbm julgo bom pra introduzir o gênero, pq no meu caso (não sou quase nada fã de eletrônica) funcionou muito bem e gostei totalmente logo de cara coisas que me estressam no gênero não me pegaram aqui, tipo duração excessiva (n tem, pq a continuidade se dá pelas transições) e repetição, pq nada martela de forma irritante, os padrões são muito bem explorados e reciclados como textura entre si, dando fluidez surpreendentemente, para um álbum eletrônico não prodigy e nem daft punk, 10/10 / 5/5

Dont listen to dance music but this was alright, can imagine its good while running

classic

WOW. The heavy and distorted baselines reign supreme on this album. The album is a very pleasant French electro and its songs are sequenced well.

A monolith of music. Totally incredible and intense. Impressive as a first album. Conformed as a flow of songs more than individual ideas. Making the best way to listen: in its entirety for a better context. But i'm not feeling a 5 or 4.5. I don't know why. Maybe too much cohesion.

I think the video for Stress gave me my first stoned panic attack. This album rules.

It's a bit crazy album but... I'm here for it all. I didn't think I would like this one at all, but it's been such a funny album at many times, and I've found it pretty interesting too. It's not the kind of music I use to listen to, and electronic music is not usually my cup of tea, but this album is surprising in very different ways. I've loved listening to it, and it's also a pretty strange and chaotic record, but I've been completely trapped and amazed by that chaos. I may not listen to this album much, but it's been really interesting and even enjoyable.

i went into this thinking it was some hard metal album. boy was i wrong.
