Whoever was playing bass saved this from a 1 star result.
This album had a lot of annoying noise that was sending me into a rage from the irritation at times.
This was not a group I’d heard of and from the cover art and group name I wasn’t expecting groove heavy techno.
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.
Oh good. British electronica dance music. Just what I was missing in my life. Thanks MI6!
should be a one but D.A.N.C.E. is pretty decent so it's a two overall
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.
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.
All’inizio ero gasato ma più andavo avanti meno ero entusiasta
ugh
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
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.
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.
Techno, not a big fan. Some tuff beats
It's fine! Not my cuppa joe
meh.
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.
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.
not for me
didn't finish
Seems like Gene of “Bobs Burgers” got some new equipment for Christmas, ate a bunch of candy and soda, and mixed this one up.
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.
I just don’t like electronic dance music so it would be hard for that genre to get a 3 and it didn’t get there.
Not my thing
Pretty funny to list this next to the Stooges as this is fairly of its time and dull and the Stooges is everything this isn’t
Not My taste
Naaaa
A decent LP for a an electronic dance album. I particularly like the finishing tracks.
This was great until it wasnt. A banging opening that has bombast and energy. Track 2, more of the same, track 3: ooh the single, track 4, 5 ,6 etc the same. I'm tired boss. Not enough variation. Would make a good ep
just dj music to be listened to at parties, nothing impressive or sensational. sometimes fun sometimes not. not bad for the genre tho just not a big fan
Meh
This was perfectly fine until track 10 and then took a hard dive
I did not really like this I thought the best one was D.A.N.C.E.
Якось не дуже, лише Genesis трішки сподобалась. У них є кращі треки, ніж ті, що в цьому альбомі.
Kvalmefremkaldende bas. Det er som om, nogle af sangene har strobelys-effekt på mit system. Gennem lyd. For stressende at lytte til. Foretrækker vist Daft Punk, hvis det skal være den her genre.
No lo terminé, me duele un poco la cabeza. Electrónica esperimental Igual me copó un poco
Det här är så kontextbaserat, hade jag varit på ett race hade jag säkert digga det, men det är svårt att hitta känslan i albumet på en vardaglig basis. Vet inte, kände ba inte jättemycket när jag lyssnade, hoppade över vissa låtar o snabbspola för att.. well 3.5/10
Meh
funky and dramatic, not really my vibe 2
2 out of 5. Definitely Daft Punk inspired and some catchy moments.
fav songs: genesis d.a.n.c.e dvno french synth, harsh, d.a.n.c.e 40/100
This didn’t work for me much at all. I kind of just kept checking to see how much longer i had until it was over. Not something I would want to listen to again. 2/5
not really my favorite but i did like one minute to midnight
2.5
2/5
Interesting…
This should have been my kind of thing but for some reason it wasn’t.
Oj vad förvånansvärt dåligt det var. Jag har ändå lyssnat ganska mycket på det här och mindes det som fett, men ack vad det åldras dåligt. Många låtar kändes som en blandning jobbiga ljud bara. Hade jag hört det första gången idag hade jag nog satt en etta, men antalen fina minnen av fylledans till DANCE bumpar nog upp det precis över gränsen till 2an. Pappa tyckte det lät ungefär lika bra som hans väggslip med en trummaskin över. Solklar etta.
Techno - but with tons of repetition and found sound.
Fruktansvärt redan på den tiden, även fast den tiden råkade sammanfalla med ens tonår där sådant fruktansvärt verkligen kunde tilltala en.
Näe det här har åldrats så dåligt i mina stackars öron. Då älskade jag det ändå så pass mycket att jag köpte vinylen. En tvåa endast för att minnena av moshen i dammolnet på Hultsfred 2012 ändå sitter fint.
Första låten var fet, resten klickar inte för mig
Really rather disliked this. Couple songs got me moving a bit, but overall not my Jamboree.
What is something even more annoying than the the French? That's right, EDM ... This happens to be a combination of both!
Too less melody. Too less rhythm.
Not really my vibe. Electronic rock. Tells a good story though, very much rock opera
nope.
i recognised the f1 theme tune inspiration on the first track, but it sorta just went down from there
Not an impressive effort.
Love dance music but this is missing a lot of music. Just sounds.
Not my thing...
Not my thing
This is more of a 2.7-2.8 — caught my ear and didn’t realize I knew some songs and they were on The Weeknd’s latest album
I like this type of music, but a little hard for me.
I'm sure there are people who love this and I'm sure it would make great background music for some kind of John Wick night club action scene but I'd never listen to this on its own.
The great Todd Snider passed away this weekend, so I mostly listened to him instead. Plus, this isn’t my bag.
Maso
Something a little different for me. It started well, started to wane for me significantly when the music was tainted with some awful rapping and vocals. Nothing really groundbreaking here. Good for what it is I guess, but overall repetitive, generic, uninteresting and uninspiring.
Grinds my ears. Revs up. Slows to a crawl.
So French.
DANCE is saving this album from being a 1. A couple later tracks were giving me a headache and I skipped after 30 seconds or so.
French electronic music duo ... yep, all I need to hear. This isn't Daft Punk. Sounds more like a ripoff of Skrillex and The Avalanches.
Can you spot the single 🤣 5./10
Overrated
I think I'd like an opera- disco album but this is not it. The less lyrics, the better the songs were.
2.3 Like a grittier Daft Punk. And I mean that with some disrespect, Daft Punk are massively overrated. It's disappointing given the amount of shite electronic music that exists on this list, whereas I've yet to see any Squarepusher, Autechre, John Hopkins etc.
Electronic music is, in most cases, not for me
That's not my taste in music - boring
Started ok then became progressively more annoying.
How many of these edm records are on this project? Fuck. I guess this one is more interesting than some on here, but it still feels like it goes nowhere. 2/5
I’m not a big EDM-type fan so….I guess it’s okay but nothing I’d listen to.
Pas fan de l'électronique en general par contre il y a quelques chansons qui était Banger, penses pas être le public cible, surement pas le vibe de 8h du matin, probablement un 2.5/5
First track was fine. Then in the second, someone jammed the printer and dropped their mobile phone in some coffee trying to contact IT. I picture a badger in a tie, having been employed as a clumsy admin assistant. Then we take a trip to Sesame Street for D.A.N.C.E - I knew the song, but it sounds like it should be called 'My First Electronica'. Badger must be on a break. Badger is back, fucking around with the fax machine for a bit. Oh no, it's on fire. He's set the fire alarm off... panic ensues. I sort of liked this part of the album. It's slightly anxiety inducing, but I'm fine with that. Stress, Waters of Nazareth, One Minute to Midnight definitely were the 'best' bits. To call it good would be a stretch though. But, no, this was pretty terrible. Office has burned to the ground. Badger is dead. 200 employees have perished. My ears are bleeding.
not my cup of tea im sorry
Another repetitive french electronic... some themes are great but, after a while, everything seems the same! And you're reading this from a guy who really enjoys electronic music :-(
Not for me..
Langweilig
Ever been walking along a sidewalk at a good pace and suddenly your foot catches on a section that's slightly raised and while you don't fall, you do trip and are extremely annoyed? That's what most of this album does to your brain constantly.
Electronic, club Dance The party
427/1001 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑
It's ok. More solid songs than a lot in this genre. But, I find that like most electronica, it gets to feeling a bit same-y. They do throw in some glitchy, cool sounds, but it's quite repetitive. Some of the bass bits are interesting too. (Esp. in Phantom Pt. II) I guess if I was in a club or party (and tripping) this would be great vibe-y music. I cannot think of another time I'd want to take this album for a spin. Bonus note: The video for "Stress" is stressful. Showing the ugliness of humanity. It's horrible and hate-filled.
Not my thing but interesting enough
i haven't listened to much electronic music. The first song was fun to drive along to but the rest left me unsatisfied. 4/10
As a fan of electronica I was looking forward to this album but ultimately I found it a bit underwhelming. I can hear the comparisons to the first couple albums of Daft Punk, but unfortunately I am not a fan of Daft Punk's first couple of albums, so that did not help. I recognize that technical chops are necessary to pull this off, but halfway through the album I wasn't having any kind of emotional connection or vibe with the record. As a percussionist I usually feel the pull of the rhythm but this didn't create any wiggling, maybe briefly during "Stress". I found "Waters of Nazareth" to basically be a spiritual successor to "Stress" but with greater song shaping chops of call and response. No matter where you land can we all admit that "The Party" is just cringe?
Background video game music core. Some of them had a good grove but largely too repetitive for my taste
yeah, i’m good. but thanks for the offer!
Two thumbs down 👎
cool electronic fusion type music
Daft punk pigeonholed into Fortnite lobby
Usually love French Electro shiz but found this a bit samey and boring, and dare I say actually quite annoying in the end. Grating! If you will...
Electronic.
It's a better album than most electronica. It's grating at times, but there is a bit there that I like. I just don't think I do the right drugs for this genre.
schwierig weil wirklich elektronisch, und samples à go-go. nicht für jeden tag, aber sicher viel arbeit drin - und schon wippt mein fuss mit ..
Tönt wie ein Computerspiel. Irgendwer muss das gut finden.
Not sure what this is doing here. I’d give it a 1 but it’s too boring for that.
Album 817 of 1089 Justice - Cross (2007) Rating : 2 / 5 More electronica I don't really like but it had its moments. It figures that the vocal tracks I enjoyed are seen as "momentum breakers" some. Certainly is dance-floor ready.
Not for me.
Meh
Anfänglich ordentliches aber dann stets nerviger werdendes Album. Das schönste war das Ende zu erreichen.
for a dance music album didn't find it quite danceable to. Expected more, slightly disappointed, 1-2 good tracks tops. 2.5/5
I am so conflicted with these electronic album. It’s just not a good listening experience. And I have spent years in the dance scene and loving it in that context. I recently saw Justice live and holy shit was that fun. Aside from a couple of bangers, I couldn’t listen all the way through in a single go. The glitch sound is too abrasive, the beats too repetitive. This must be what the Dead is like for Deadheads: you just can’t understand the live experience from the record.
There is a song on here that literally sounds like my computer circa 1995 trying to connect to AOL, but with a beat behind it. This is not an entirely negative thing. A/S/L?
D.A.N.C.E is fire, the phantoms felt like TV static. Good edm, but also it's edm so not great. The lords edm ig Why was one minute to midnight, not one minute 1.5/5
Looking through the song titles I'm guessing this is techno/EDM because I've never heard of this band or this album. I bet Daft Punk hate these guys for ripping off their sound. They're a couple of space helmets away from being a Daft Punk cover band. The Party, with its stupid Kesha lyrics, is awful. These songs all sound like knock off Midnight Express soundtrack songs.
This album was new to me, and I played it through twice. I found it pretty dull stuff and unengaging in a way that dance music really should not be: almost soul-less. It's not an album I'd be likely to play again. Probably some would have been OK as a 12" single, but a whole album of it grates a bit.
Stop! Please!!!
Damn, I wasn't even through the second song and I was already wishing this album was over. I get that this is some breakthrough in electronica, and there were a few aspects of it I enjoyed, so I won't give it a 1-star, but it's just not for me. Honestly, dance music and electronica for the most part just aren't for me.
I actually just passed up on the chance to see this band in concert. I think I may have made the right choice, they have a couple of songs that I really like, but most of it doesn't quite click with me.
I wanted to turn this off 2 songs in. I'm sure there's a time and place, but it's not here and now. 2.
I wasn't expecting to hear a very random Devo song sampled in Stress. Decent music for the genre. Personal enjoyment: 2/5 Relevance to this list: 3/5
Perfectly fine French dance rave whatever this is. Just not something I’d listen to again. 2.95
Respectfully, why is this on this list? Did we run out of the infinite amount of music to consume that it was necessary to be included? (TBF that could be said about a good amount of these albums. I digress). Children gang vocals are my worst nightmare, so that did not help. Like the beats are fine… but honestly could’ve gone without the vocals. As the album went on it got worse..
Works on the background while doing office work, but not the kind of record i would listen intentionally
Certified boredom, that’s what this album is
Not entirely my thing
Sounds like Undertale But in fact it is not video game boss music you are just supposed to listen to it Genesis/DANCE/DVNO brought this up from a 1 to a decent-strong 2
Pretty bad
Another album and artist I’ve never heard before. Don’t really know what to make of it. Obviously not made for my demographic and someone my age but I did find myself liking it. That’s the power of music of music I suppose. Not an album I would buy or listen to again 2.5/5 24/4/25
Didn’t hate it, but altogether not my thing.
4/10
"Opera-disco" apparently. Enjoyed the few operatic bits, the rest was too abrasive. Pulsing beat, grating electro.
Electronic sampled opera-pop.
trotos
Like a worse Daft Punk
..
я бы не стал такое слушать, но что то "интересное" в этом есть
Not convinced - I love a couple of Justice tracks but an album full is a bit too much for me!
I would enjoy the video game that this is the soundtrack of
Not my cuppa
Some great grooves let down my lots of atonal interjections
This is not my thing… but I liked some of it… not the ones that made me feel like I was having an anxiety attack
How exceptionally French - not that there’s anything wrong with that. There’s a lot wrong with this album, though.
2.5
Irritating. Gave my daughter a headache while we were listening.
A few bangers, probably better than I was expecting. High 2s.
Avausraita jees
It was mostly fine as background music, but a few of the later some got a little irritating to me
24/1001 I don’t really know what to say, it wasn’t my kind of music, it just sounded like repetitive noise, which I know is a bit rich coming from someone who dabbles in drone from time to time. The first few songs where actually decent enough, but by the time they got vocalists involved it just fell apart. Nothing worthwhile really. 2/5
Not my thing. Some cool sounds, but the songs don't do a lot for me, and I'm not into the proto future funk production.
Not great. Reminds of background music for old GameCube simulator games my boy used to play. Addictive and mind numbing.
My brother definitely had this on in the car for a whole term when we were on the way to university. It's not the worst. There's something here, if you've got the emotional range for dance music, which I don't. I've heard D.A.N.C.E. more times than I need to. music: hated. (⌐■_■)
Not my thing
Merde. That means shit in French.
Thought I would like this more than I did. I knew DANCE which is a fun song, the rest is mostly just noise.
Collection of electronic dance tracks good for discoteques or clubs… but not very exciting in its entirety as an album. Then it is too much synthesizer programmerne rather than real music. Adding vocals might have improved the overall impression, but there are none..
Daft Punk shmit
Some of the sounds on this album are killer. That said, you don't get to pick and choose which samples or tracks you hear on a song, and there are also a lot of parts that aren't great like most of the vocals and the anxiety provoking noise. This was a one and done.
There are some inspired bits of electronica on “Cross,” but every time I really got into a song it was derailed by random laser sounds.
My husband asked if I was listening to two different songs at the same time. Tells you all you need to know.
D.A.N.C.E is a classic, but it's about all this album has going for it. It's overall not bad, but electronica gets repetitive to me.
I like electronic. I think the music of Klaus Schulze, the ex-drummer of Tangerine Dream and THE pioneer of electronic music, is great. Some comments on this album have compared the music of this album to that of Jean Michele Jarre. I really liked the latter as a teenager. I was particularly taken with Oxigène back then. So I was curious to find out what electronic music the unknown French band Justice played on their album. I quickly got the impression that I wouldn't be interested. A large part of the album played in the background. Shortly before the end of the album, the music got on my nerves and I stopped the whole thing. I can easily do without this album. 2/5
Electronic music. There were several tracks that were painful to the ears. Stand-out: Valentine
i've tried to get into this like 3 separate times but i just don't like it that much my bad 2.5/5
Meh. Not for me
Music I'd think of with John Wick or Matrix... a lot of synth and electro/house styling.
This was not my bag. I like electronica but not so much the EDM, apparently. Definitely not the right thing to play early on a Monday morning while going through the weekend e-mails. Too hectic, stopping and starting, it seemed more high stress than high energy. I could see this inducing bad trips and paranoia if taking the wrong substances while playing this. Not sure what the right substance would be.
I like electronic music, but couldn’t get into it.
D.A.N.C.E. is a classic, of course. Problem is the rest of it isn’t good. Repetitive uninteresting techno beats doesn’t make a good album.
A bit enjoyable at times. The tracks with vocals really brought it down for me.
Not sure I could dance to this, and certainly don't like listening to it. I appreciate its supposed influence, but top of the list of the 1001 I don't need to listen to.
I’d probably need someone who knows the genre to explain why this is a standout record. On my own I don’t know why.
Surely, there are 1001 better albums out there…
More string synths and less sawtooth waves please
It’s okay… sort of a poor man’s Daft Punk. There are some not bad moments like Phantom Pt II and DVNO for some reason I find catchy. Might be the fruity 80s nu wave vocals. But overall a bit too much late 00s glitchy tricks and not enough melody or interesting rhythms.
Sample orgy with electronic experiments. Maybe it'important, but nothing for my ears.
This and prodigy back to back is a lot
This is #day14 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and... here's another name/album I haven't heard before. Given the approach that music is made on this one, I'd rather revisit DJ Shadow's debut. Yes, it's kind of smart, but somehow... it doesn't stick. Maybe because the mix of genres is too overwhelming. Maybe because I'm not a huge fan of French house or those vintage disco sounds. I don't know. So, it's 2 out of 5 this time. Looking forward to #day15, which is also the beginning of my short vacation (of course, I'm not taking a break from the challenge). So, don't let me down, random generator.
Not my style at all, but not a terrible listen. The songs transition pretty seamlessly, so it's almost like one long electronic song. Phantom & Phantom II were jams. I probably wouldn't seek it out again, but I didn't hate it.
If there was a Great Value version of the movie Bladerunner called "Cyborgkiller EX", this would probably be the soundtrack.
Not really connecting with this one. Started blending together after the first track.
48 minutes of ear ache. Too many elements that added nothing to each other. The only vocals were whiny and annoying. This wasn’t even an original way of making bad music.
Kind of annoyed this includes the recent edition of the book because these post-first-edition selections are rough. Not Bad bad, but sounds like nothing after a few tracks.
Sounds like an Animal Crossing soundtrack
Man high on acid at Euro Disney during the Main Street Parade: You know what would be sick? If Kidzbop did Daft Punk! Justice: Say less. And that's how D.A.N.C.E. was born. That's my head canon, anyway. Sometimes I wonder if Robert Dimery's book was a cover for some secret military research study on the best albums to use for psychologically torturing prisoners of war. This was one of those times. Look, this wasn't the worst electronica album I've been assigned from this project. I don't totally hate the techno Bee Gees vibe of a lot of it. But the album takes a turn for the worse around "The Party," which features some weird Kesha meets Nicky Minaj "rap." After that, it seems to be a whole lot of sirens and obnoxious sound effects that represent everything I hate about this genre. Also, I'm not really sure what's so innovative about this album that landed it on this list. How does one gauge the evolution of looping beeps and boops to recognize something groundbreaking? If you held a gun to my head and asked me to correctly identify if one of these songs was Justice or Daft Punk, I'd have a 50/50 shot of surviving. 2/5
Some of this was interesting enough but, as with a lot of electronica, the modulation effects caused my ears actual physical discomfort. And I still don't like glitchy, skittery edits. So have fun at the EuroKlub!
kinda wanted this one to end
First listen and it was ok. Felt like a Peleton commercial after a while, solid treadmill music. Least favorite track was DANCE, enjoyed One Minute to Midnight.
Very mid. 2 stars, some decent racks but most are annoying and even the decent ones have annoying vocals
One good track, a couple more okay tracks, the rest couldn't end fast enough
vocals knock it a star
Didn’t do much for me. Not my usual musical style.
Techno Dance.
I didn't really 'get' this one. Some of it was good, but some it seemed like random noise to me.
Why is this album on the list. Not horrible, but certainly not essential.
Not really sure how this sits in the same shelf as Etienne de Creacy, Sebastian Teller, Daft Punk, Phoenix, Cassius etc. Actually, I know. It doesn’t. This is loud and obnoxious.
I thought I would like this way more. I was expecting a super happy uplifting electro time, and to be honest I found a lot of it quite weird and discordant. It's mostly a miss for me and I won't be re-visiting it. There weren't even really any standout bangers. Really disappointing. 2.5 rounded down.
Ах как я люблю электронику, просто пиздец как обожаю. Все вот эти звуки пердëжные, ай красота
Ehhhhhh
There's nothing really bad or wrong with this album on its face, I just do not connect with this type of music even a little bit. There were a couple of cool, "Ah, it's this song" moments though.
Eh
Another album that deserves to be here and is important, but isn't totally amazing. In fact this is a classic of the incredible start, several strong tracks, then tails off, and in places descends into laughable cringe-worthy nonsense. If I never hear 'The Party' and 'D.U.N.C.E' again I will be just fine. Have to admit the first time I heard the opening track I heard it on a very large high quality hi-fi and it blew me away. It still sounds very original today. It wears thin quickly though. It sounds revolutionary at first but it seems like they kicked a new door open which absolutely no-one ran through. An interesting footnote in electronic dance music history.
I mean, it's fine. It's glitchy and quirky. I got bored pretty fast. It's well made, I just don't care about this kind of music.
This is harsh cause I know so many people love this album, but to me it's just really average Daft Punk. Like b-sides that didn't make the album.
Too repetitive and techno for my tastes. But definitely interesting.
I love D.A.N.C.E but some other songs were just noise
This album is not an interest for me. The vibe is nice, but other than that I really don’t get into it. The synths I feel for the most part blare out unncesarily, and many of the tracks sound exactly the same. All in all, Justice is a bad album. Best Song: Stress Worst Song: DVNo
That one song is good, the rest are a bit repetitive
Meh. Decent background music but not a must listen imo.
Maybe on a different day this won't feel like fingers down a blackboard
4/10 good potential on many songs but repetitive as all hell
honestly can’t believe I hadn’t heard this album before tbh… kinda mid, some of the album is perfect for indie sleaze daydreaming, otherwise maybe I just wasn’t in duh mood top 3 fo slay dreaming in no particular order: ⚠️CAUTION⚠️ prone to disagreeing with myself…listen with a light heart… Let There Be Light Phantom Pt. II Valentine
Ok so this album kind of just sounded like an off brand Daft Punk - I didn't mind it. I listened to it while grinding out Excel and it fit the vibe pretty well. Nothing spectacular. I don't really understand why it's on this list, it feels kind of insignificant. Apparently they remixed MGMT Electric Feel and it won a ton of awards. Overall, it's hard to compare garbo like this to Daft Punk. Weiners: Valentine sounded like a more pop, upbeat Mort Garson Moog synth sound. Losers: The Party.... why are they using the worst female singer of all time? Hopefully it's satire surrounding that culture and making fun of themselves but I can't tell because they're french. Awful lyricism on top of the worst accent (what is it??) and inflection I have ever heard? Literally grimacing. I like the synth.
A little too hit and miss for my taste.
I was already familiar with this album but hadn't listened to it through yet. Genesis- reminds me of a daft punk song, a nice refreshing beat Let There Be Light- not a fan, beat is repetitive and feels like it builds up to nothing new or pleasing to listen/follow along to D.A.N.C.E- Already familiar with this song, love it, love the upbeat backing track and nod to Michael Jackson Newjack- classic techno beat can zone out/do art to Phantom- banger, nice electronic sounds, easy to put on in background and vibe Phantom II- a really good listen when paired with Phantom, similar song a bit more of a build up that continues from previous song, has more different instruments/additions to this song over Phantom. Valentine- farrrr forgettable The Party-nice sample, lyrics and back track DVNO- already knew this song, I really like the bridge/chorus Stress- another hype techno instrumental Waters of Nazareth- ye is okay One Minute to Midnight- a good chill song to end on, upbeat and still fitting with the rest of the album's style Top 3: 1-D.A.N.C.E 2-The Party/DVNO 3-Phantom II/One Minute to Midnight Rating a 2 because I think there are better albums equivalent to Cross' genre. But there are some nice songs in here, especially the ones that aren't just instrumentals.
As far as electronic albums go, this was better than some of the others on the list, but still pretty repetitive and boring.
Daft Punk, dat you? Mostly forgettable except for that one song I've heard on the radio.
Seemed like just a lot of background noise. I’m sure there are those who loved the album but was not my cup of tea.
Some of the songs are ok if you need some background noise.
Sounds like jump rope songs
*listens to first song* oh cool! It's that song! Surely something else on this must be notable or even at all interesting
Simply can’t appreciate this sort of music, not my thing. Maybe one track here and there but not a full album. [0143/1001]
this is four solid tracks bookending a bunch of filler and obnoxious mid. every track runs for a minute too long, even the ones i liked. repetitive samples and irritating vocal lines abound.
Not bad.
Only trolls give this a 4 or higher.
Nervt irgendwie
More playful than most electronic dance music but still a bit of slog to get through., I hope I get some Hot Chip in this 1001 albums because the electronic music so far is pretty boring.
Jeg kan egentlig godt se appelen, og det er også meget danceable, nu ved jeg hvor DANCE kommer fra haha. Men der er for meget forvrængning og distortion på, og jeg ville bare aldrig sætte det på, hverken privat eller til fest. Så det er nok bare ikke til mig - kan dog godt se appellen i det, og inden for genren tænker jeg det er godt.
Meh. Not my type of music. Best songs: Phantom P1,2
It was ok.
Interesting dance music. 2
Not really into electronic dance music. But, it was okay.
I've listened to this album in the past, had a housemate in Birmingham who loved this type of music. Had his own electro emo type band too, who were awful. Lots of big hair, eyeliner and tight pants... Aside from this slight nostalgia, this really isn't for me, not a big electronic music fan. DANCE is ok and was played a lot back then. Genesis and phantom part 2 are ok too The odd song I can tolerate, a whole album is way too much. It's hard not to compare to daft punk, but I think the main difference is that daft punk is more rooted it rock where as this is more rooted in house or something. Daft punk is a different league imo The odd song yes, a whole album no 2.5
Interesting. Different. I wouldn't call it good, but not bad either
Electrónica exquisita en la linea de los grandes (chemical, daft, etc,) pero no llega. Tiene algun momento destacable, pero a cuentagotas.
Highlights: D.A.N.C.E The Party DVNO I think I'm learning that I don't really enjoy the heavy distortion sound. I find it jarring and distracting. I'm going to start by saying that this isn't music I normally listen to and I have very mixed feeling about this album. On a whole, I didn't really enjoy it, I found it to be over produced with the heavy distortion and distracting from the parts i did enjoy. With that said, I liked all the songs that featured lyrics and thought the underlying base lines to be really good throughout the album. I dont see myself coming back to this one but I probably would dance if one of these songs came on while I was out.
Somewhat accessible, but too much dance club noise
First few songs were nice background music as I cleaned up the kitchen on a Saturday morning. Halfway through the album, it was getting more annoying than entertaining. Overall, like listening to Daft Punk.
A couple good songs but it felt disjointed a lot of the time
Nothing that is earth shattering.
Okay album. The sampling here is much less impressive than something by Daft Punk or the Avalanches.
Nicht unbedingt mein Lieblingsgenre und ich bleibe definitiv bei Daft Punk.
What a shit Just noise
Not Daft Punk
1. geneziz - 1.5 2. let there be light - 1 3. dance - 2 4. neuujack - 0 5. phantom - 1 6. phantom 2 - 2 7. valentine - 0 8. the party - 0 9. dvno - 0 10. ztrezz - 2 11. uuaterz of nazareth - 1.5 12. one minute to midnight - 0
Pretty annoying overall.
- definitely heard D.A.N.C.E before - just another electronic album that’s not really for me
2007. Not the worst electronic album, there were some melodies here and there and not every moment was unbearable.
I love lots of electronic artists and genres, but I really can't get along with Justice. The sound is big, bold, clean and energetic, but ultimately feels brash and soulless to me. This style of electro-house feels like it takes influence from the 1990s "big beat" sound, but it doesn't have the same sense of humour, use of break beats, or even danceability. I do love Mr Oizo's earlier albums, which come from the same wheelhouse, but have lots more interesting going on. 2.5*, not bad but entirely disposable.
Good in places but overly repetitive.
too much disco
Meh, not my thing. Too busy and mashed up to make me want to dance and not that enjoyable as a straight listen. Although I can see why DANCE got so much attention, that's a toe tapper.
Expected to like this. Some nice grooves and interesting noises but most of the songs felt like they went on a bit too long.
Proto dubstep, nice enough but not bucket list material. Might come back to this for woodshedding at work
Some parts were somewhat enjoyable, but overall not the album for me
Well that was interesting... I can appreciate it's influence and can see how some others may like it but it's not my favorite.
As a fan of EDM, I'm surprised to say that I didn't really care for this album. It started off as a generic three, but as it moved along, track after track a growing sense of “I cannot wait for this to end” welled up inside of me. I found the vocal tracks particularly distracting because it sounded similar to Ke$ha's early vocal style, but without her energy, sarcastic delivery, and clever lyrics. Since † precludes her debut by three years, all I can assume is that perhaps Justice was a source of inspiration to her Animal/Cannibal duo. There's some decent tunes in this album, but I don't dare trudge through the full thing again to earmark them.
The was very boring and hard to get through
meh
Ok album but not for me
I will never understand how these projects, whose entire goal is to just be bombastic production from start to finish are regarded with such critical acclaim from music snobs and nerds. I’ve been doing this project for a couple weeks and I have run into at least five albums that appear broadly to be all the same. All these projects lack any form of lyric nuance, narrative story telling, emphasize on melodic or harmonic production, live instrumentation or really human personality. They are in their truest forms funky soundboards in album form. That’s fine if you like it by why is this type of music deemed so high among the musically snobbish types.
Well it's a dance album, it's like all dance albums, not made for listening to, but at least it tries a little more than a series of 4 bar repeats.
Skrillex was really overplayed when I was in high school, so I'm pretty burnt out from this heavy electronic dance music. That said, this is good. Like very good music. The ending of Let There Be Light is phenomenal. Some of the songs on the back half of the album are causing me pain. Stress and DVNO, specifically.
this is not my kind of music i was NOT in the club but i can appreciate what they were going for and if i was on m*lly i would feel differently.
Pas mon style mais bon ya 2-3 musiques ça passe
Na, this is too busy. I like some EDM, but the few tracks I listened to didn't do it for me.
2 stars. Dance felt familiar. Cool sound. Stress was too much going on
I'm almost 50 years old. I don't like to be annoyed when listening to music - I like to enjoy it. Therefore, this isn't an album for me, with all the beeps, boops, buzzing, music cutting in and out, and drilling(!?) This is music that should only be played in a TV show/movie while a group of edgy computer hackers are taking out some evil corporation. However, I did enjoy D.A.N.C.E a bit, but it was an anomaly. Also, dumb album cover and doesn't match the music contained within.
Hard to listen
eh
the ESTABLISHMENT hated JESUS for his ideas, and put him on the CROSS. the ESTABLISHMENT hated ME for thinking this album is lame, and they will put me on the CROSS. History repeats itself, and so does this album because every track feels the same.
D.A.N.C.E. is great, one minute to midnight is good, and the rest is borderline unlistenable.
Starting at \"This Party\" I listened for a minute or two and ended up skipping the rest. The first half is tolerable. But I hate electronica.
frustratingly french. D.A.N.C.E. remains a classic
Not really my thing, but produced fairly well
The party sucks. There were fun moments but then the AOL dialup sounds never made me happy
First 2 songs were good, rest of the album sounded liked Daft Punk but shitter
monotonous, nothing on it is groundbreaking or stands out enough to put it in rotation.
I'm not into electronic music so... it has some good vibes, but it's not for me.
A fine dance album. Its' place on this list is questionable though as I cant find anything particularly revelatory or big influences other than D.A.N.C.E.
there were some bright spots but they were few and far between. a lot of songs that i really had to force myself to listen through
D.A.N.C.E. Carries this album further than it should.
Not a fan, felt like it went on forever. Too much noise not enough direction. Only had a few moments that were enjoyable to me
I liked the clear production of the album but musically it was very repetitive overall. The sound of the whole album reminded me of Daft Punk here and there though in a less exciting way. It wasn't completely unlistenable, just a record that I couldn't get into it because it felt so samey.
I already knew of Genesis so it's a great start to an album. I also recognise D.A.N.C.E which was a nice surprise. The rest of the album was a bit average though. Not sure I will bother to listen to the whole album again
I'm really disappointed: I got this album and new a really good song from it (D.A.N.C.E) and thought maybe the whole album would be similar, spoiler it wasn't. I just found it so incredibly underwhelming and honestly a massive let down with most of the tracks here just seeming like mindless sounds to fill time.
No totally my jam
Maximal ecstasy in the last years und a free and prosper western world. Like the after hour of the decade. Pressing, hedonistic anything else but subtle. Aged like a Young, simple wine being drunk too late. 2.3
Electronica not my thing
This is stressing me out and I don't love that
Meh. Supposed to be disco influenced, but completely uninteresting.
about as good as house gets… so not very
Some of the tracks with vocals provided more interest, but I was less convinced by the purely instrumental tracks, on the whole.
Electronic music, not my thing
Not the biggest fan of EDM
Not for me
Why is this on this list. Did not need to hear this
