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.
Oh I do not like. Fav song is ‘THHEE PPAARRTTYY’.
DNF
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.
Quite the penitential experience
French electronic music duo are 4 words that shouldn’t be combined. Dreadful
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.
No for me, just churning, obnoxious noise. Far better examples of influential electronica out there.
Day821 - i want to find the guy who listened to this and decided i need to also hear it
29/03/2026 1. genesis - very dramatic... electronic? not really my thing, but the bass is nice :) 2. let there be light - like how the tracks fade into one another. 3. d.a.n.c.e - nice bass. again, not my thing! 4. newjack - like the start of it more than the previous tracks... alright as background music i guess? 5. phantom - like the distorted sound, but this just does not appeal to me at all!!!! 6. phantom pt. ii - like the strings. not much else lol. 7. valentine - nothing else to say. 8. tthhee ppaarrttyy - do not like the start... do not like the rest of it either. 9. dvno - like the vocals in this one more.. not mad on the lyrics though.... bit pervy? bass near the end is nice. 10. stress - more interesting sound... very tense! bit long though... gets repetitive after a while. like the kindof harpischord sound near the end. 11. waters of nazareth - nothing else to say again! so happy this is almost over!! 12. one minute to midnight - so glad this is over!!!! was worried this was going to be a metal album from the cover, so was a bit surprised when it was electronic! just not my thing, didn't really enjoy any of it!
A complete waste of time. 1 star or F-.
I was not a fan to be honest.
This was NOT good. I hate this super electronic style. Everything starts to sound the same and fake. I guess some interesting things happened sometimes, but overall this wasn't great. Actual rating 1.5 Liked Songs: "D.A.N.C.E." , "Phantom Pt. II" , "DVNO" , Waters of Nazareth
Ummmmmmmm
Ugh. Noise. Samples without intent.
Horrible, has Christian looking design and song names, but music sounds like it comes straight from he underworld
i don’t mind EDM but i thought the sound was harsh
It's mostly instrumental with a bit of vocals. Doesn't really land. Best song: TTHHEE PPAARRTTYY
Ta bort den där
No.
this best not be prayer music noooo I really like lyrics boi what there better be some lyrics in this album I don't... like..
Unbearable. 1/10
I enjoyed this more than I would have expected based on how terrible it is. I usually try to give every album a couple listens and this album was only tiresome during the first listen. It was excruciating on the second. However, that was nothing compared to the real pain which arrived when YouTube Music served me up some Justice-adjacent suggestions after it finished.
1 - TERRIBLE
I'm an electronic fan but this is pretty much terrible, exceedingly tough listen at the beginning, starts to redeem itself ever so slightly at Valentine and The Party then gets incredibly cringey and dated with DVNO, then continues to go downhill from there.
Not for me
not my taste, do not listen!!
Repetitive noise
Complete shite
Nearly unlistenable. One of the worst live shows I have ever seen in my life. People pretend to like this, right? Best Song: D.A.N.C.E. Rating: 2.0/10 Stars: 1
it was an abomination. What a racket.
sounds annoying
Nope
Why so much EDM on this list. All sounds exactly the same.
a miserable experience
Not my thing
Not familiar!
Didn't like this. Unable to connect with this
Never heard of them, of course. Click on the link, Apple Music opens, and I see "Electronic." Oh joy. Let's get this over with... First song does not sound terrible, but I see this getting VERY old VERY fast... Second song starts off sounding like someone fucking around with a Casio and then turns into noise that seems intended to annoy someone. I don't think I hate ALL electronic music. I have been to shows at Big Ears that I have enjoyed that would definitely be considered electronic music. But a lot of it annoys me in ways that other genres don't. Like, there's a lot of pop/country/pop-country music that I don't LIKE but I can listen to it in the background and basically ignore it. But a lot of electronic music actively bothers me - I can't ignore it because it aggravates my ears. Much of this album fits that description. (Sort of funny: While I was working with this in the background, part of this album was especially annoying so I clicked on the Apple Music window to see what song it was, and I was relieved to see that it was almost over. The song was called "Phantom." Then I looked to see what the next song was and it was "Phantom, Pt. II" and the annoying noise just kept going into the next track.) Unsurprisingly my favorite track was the first one with lyrics ("The Party.") Reminds me of Lords of Acid. Wikipedia says this track is actually called "TThhEe PPaARRtTYY" aaaaand now I'm annoyed again. Heard another terribly annoying sound later and clicked to see what it was and the track is called "Stress." At least it's an honest title. I now hate this album. I will be so happy when it ends.
Not for me this album.
Noise noise ugh save me
this sucked. it sounded like a bunch of meaningless sounds put together on a computer and it was way too repetitive - didn't/couldn't listen to a full song
Mist! Mist! Mist!
Electronic. Not my jam.
I get music, i love most genres. But if someone has the time to explain to me what this absolute dumpster fire of an album is 1star is generous
Good lord
Difficult to finish each recording.
Some decent moments. Quite some annoying sounds in others. We already had Daft Punk. One hit on this album and it features kids singing, not my thing.
too techno for me
Not in my edition of the book! 2007. 1 star. Tedious and annoying electronic noodling. Sounds like the background music from early video games. WTF is this shit doing on the list?
As we sponsor those who turn the artistic process over to the machines we, collectively, become less and less human. What exactly are we celebrating here? No human performance. Are we celebrating these two's ability to program computers to generate tones? AI can now do that, too. That people have become so desensitized to the difference between human music and robotic sound is tragic. Computers make it all so much easier. No one needs to hone their skills practicing instruments, or playing in school gyms or small local clubs, or listening to other musicians - whether to imitate and learn, or to learn to play within a group. Just sit in the basement and program your Mac. Look at the musicians throughout history. It took years, if not decades, of playing night after night after night to figure out what they sounded like; to bring new forms of beauty into the world. But the clubs where young people could do that are now gone; lost in a vicious cycle driven by our listening choices. What human element is, then, left in the process? In the very near future, the owners of the channels of distribution - Apple, Google (YouTube), and Spotify - will be the only human beings benefitting from the consumption of sonic entertainment. They’ll just program their machines to make it all. We’re almost there already.
No, I don't like listening to seizures
I just couldn’t do it. Maybe another day
This really sounds like you are trying to upset people!!!! It is not pleasant to listen to and is certainly not enjoyable!!!!!
Not my scene
Shit
I had to quit at the 4th track. Started out kind of promising, similar to the Tron Legacy soundtrack by Daft Punk. 4th track went back towards DP's earlier work, where the good stuff was punched in the face over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over (ad nauseum) with noise by people pretending their stuff doesn't sound like shit. And then people lapped that shit up like the good little dogs they are.
yeah, no thanks
"Valentine" had a catchy groove to it that reminded me some of "Jet Set" by The Specials. However, the rest of the tracks, and electronic music like this in general, just doesn't do it for me.
Weird dance music
When I started this project, I promised myself that I'd listen to complete albums. Bad decision. I foolishly thought that the 1001 ALBUMS YOU MUST HEAR BEFORE YOU DIE would actually be good. JUSTICE is not my cup of shit. ⭐ ________________________________ 🎧 LPs reviewed: 81 🎧 LPs left to review: 920 🎧 LPs I found great/relevant enough to be mandatory listens (5): 18 🎧 LPs I *might* include in my own list (4): 20 🎧 LPs I will certainly *not* include in mine (1-2): 23
Not bad just not a fan of electronic music
I no longer respect the authority of this list. I will continue to participate in the Random 1001 Album Generator but I will no longer refer to it as the albums you should hear before you die. Because it just isn’t. I was in high school when this album came out and when I tell you know one liked or talked about this band or album ever. Like why is this here?!
Why?
No
More dull electronica, why is there so much of it on this list?
Klingt immer gleich und nicht viel anders als Daft Punk.
I’ll be honest – Cross by Justice didn’t do much for me. I went in expecting something exciting, given the hype around it, but it left me cold. While I can appreciate what they were trying to achieve, the album feels more like style over substance, with only a handful of redeeming moments. By the time I reached the end, I was just relieved it was over. I’ll give credit where it’s due: the production is clean and polished. Justice knows how to craft powerful, bass-heavy tracks that fill the room. Songs like “D.A.N.C.E.” stand out with their catchy, danceable rhythm, and the vocal layering is interesting. The duo clearly has a unique style, blending disco, funk, and heavy electronic elements. It’s bold, and I can see why it resonates with some people. The use of textures and distortion adds an edge to the album, which, in theory, should create a thrilling listen. Tracks like “Phantom” do have moments where the layered synths and heavy beats come together effectively. But for me, the negatives far outweigh the positives. The album feels relentlessly chaotic, like it’s constantly trying to overwhelm the listener. Instead of creating an immersive experience, the constant barrage of noise became grating. It’s loud for the sake of being loud, and I found it exhausting rather than exciting. The tracks often lack cohesion. One minute you’re hit with blaring synths, and the next, a funk-inspired breakdown appears out of nowhere. It feels disjointed, as if Justice was throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks. Songs like “Stress” are aptly named because that’s exactly how they made me feel – stressed out. On top of that, many tracks overstay their welcome. They build up but don’t seem to go anywhere meaningful, leaving me counting down the seconds until the next song. There’s very little breathing room on Cross, and the constant sensory assault became tiring. I found myself just wanting it to end, which is never a good sign. While some might call this style exciting or innovative, for me, it felt like overindulgence at the expense of actual enjoyment. By the time I reached the halfway mark of *Cross*, I was already desperate for it to end. The chaotic, disjointed nature of the album made listening to it feel like a chore. Each track seemed to drag on forever, and instead of getting lost in the music, I found myself constantly checking how much time was left. By the final song, I was just relieved it was over. I never want to hear this album again. It’s the kind of experience that leaves you mentally drained rather than energised. Justice may have crafted something bold and experimental, but for me, it was a relentless, unpleasant slog.
That kind of music just doesn't make any sense to me... 1 star
There’s a part of me that wants to generously round this way up to a 2, because it Sounds Better than all the English dance music from a decade or so earlier. But I’m not sure it deserves it. It sounds better by default, being from Continental Europe, and being made by guys who are playing on a better computer than the ones available in the 90s. Either way, this sucks. It reminds me of all the sorta indie-rock guys I knew discovering cocaine and getting sweaty and annoying. Sounds like shit too.
I'm so bored of this electronic music. Bored Bored Bored
"GOD ONLY KNOWS..." I really liked this, but I have zero tolerance for combining religious symbolism and music without explanation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpgP7xI7i7Y&t=57s
Stil?, 2007 -> 1
Craptronica
Reminds me of the Friends episode where Ross was playing his music. Horrible.
this is so distinctly not for me i’m so sorry ….. what the fuck highlights: n/a (nov 12 2024)
dnf not my vibe
Na. It's kind of ok, but becomes tedious rather 7 quickly. Like short attention span music. Like making a collage out of your mum's magazines in primary school. My son is 12, and in his music lesson they have a digital platform for creating music. This reminds me of his creations. AI will certainly replace these types of musician, for better or worse, and I won't even notice. Picture a star with each point cut from a different magazine. With glitter glue. That's the star this album gets.
very 2007 indeed
My streaming device (Amazon) couldn't find either the album or the artist so I'm putting this down as 'obscure'
This was a rather annoying album
Boring.
this is just boring daft punk. next please.
Same song over and over. One continous song that sounds like its restarting again and again. On different one that I think was the single. These are soundtwck music for fight scenes or raves at movies. Not to sit down and listen. Fail
This was a tough listen. The less said about it the better.
Dance music
hmmmmm nope
Oh great, another Electronic album. no thanks
Nah
Not a fan of this album. It didn't flow nicely, not one song was good the whole way through. There were parts I didn't hate, but that's not ideal.
Hood music, gang music
D.A.N.C.E 👍🏻 some songs felt like there wasn’t much progression. Just the same part over and over. Very boring and don’t wish to listen to it again
Daft punk but ass
Jesus christ. People listen to this? The Orgazoid called.. He wants his shit music back.
Hard pass
A bunch of noises that don't belong in music. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I like electronic music, but man was that bad.
Meh. Alleen dat ene bekende nummer echt leuk
Sounds like a bad electrical connection
Not my style, hurts my ears, sorry
I didn't like it at all
This just wasn't it for me. Can't say I'd ever put this back on again.
I can not listen to this. I did try but had to keep skipping through.
Nahhh not my thing.
Mid 2000s hipster shit
Not a big fan of this group or their type of music really
No
Una mierda
Felt too abrasive
I'm sure others may enjoy this - but not for me.
Un horror
This is my 87th day doing this project, and the 9th Electronica album I’ve been assigned. More than 1 in 10 rate. Coming in to this listen, Electronica is my second worst rated genre, at 1.88 average. After this rating is added, that’ll drop to 1.78. I just hope I don’t get subjected to any/many more. Sorry, this just isn’t my thing. And this specific Electronica offering is probably my least favorite of the Electronica albums I’ve had to endure. 1/5
Repetitive rhythms with some sounds smashed in. Song with lyrics (one or two) were worth listening.
Not for me
Justice's Cross disappoints with its dull and repetitive nature, heavily reminiscent of Daft Punk. While some hail it as a resurgence of dance music and a revival of the golden age of EDM, I find it lacking in originality. The album's only saving grace is its clever use of subtle samples, but overall, it did nothing for me. NUMBER OF BANGERS - 0 STAND OUT TRACK - None
Nicht meins
i did really like Phantom, and Phantom Pt. II because it let my brain rest after the first few songs in the album. that was really nice. my favourite song from this album overall is Phantom Pt. II. I’m giving this album a 2/10 because while i can appreciate that it’s been done very well, i just don’t like it; if you like electric music / disco, this is definitely for you ! full music review on instagram @musicwithnessa
Not my taste at all. My AirPods Pro2 failed to play the bass…. The sound effects Sounds pretty bad
Listening to this was such a horrible experience, and you can't say I didn't give it a chance cuz I suffered through all 48 minutes of it. I'm happy I don't have to do that again in my life, Amen.
I didn't know them. And now I know why.
Don't like
I gave up halfway through this album. I couldn’t even make it through an entire song.
i like d. a. n. c. e. but that’s it. almost like rage music. not a fan.
**Disclaimer. This isn’t a fair review. Only listened to three tracks.** It took two guys to make this? I wanted to say that this record is dollar-store Daft Punk, but that is offensive to both Daft Punk (obvi) and to dollar-stores. They’d never sell this shit. Sounds like ‘my first synthesizer’ by playskool. This record is a reminder that 1001 albums is actually a fair shit-ton of music and by sheer odds there’s got to be some seriously, craptastically bad music. This is that. 0.5/5
This is a crime against humanity.
absolutely not into this, couldn’t even get through
Wasn't my thing, it was like this electric party dance music. It sounds like the music people would shuffle dance to.
nah
A very techno album, and its by a French artist and I didn't understand any of the few words they were singing, not sure if it was actually in French though... the music didn't have any story or emotion element for me. Feels like manufactured energy. I also don't really appreciate the intentional sound distortion and speaker blow out sounds.
Talk about a time saver. You know how you walk in some club and the first thing you see is an annoying deejay who's a little too excited about the shit he's playing? Despite the fact there's no one in the club besides him and a couple of bartenders who don't look like they have a clue what they're doing? What's great about witnessing that is you can just turn around and leave. Sort of like how you stop listening to this after a few minutes.
No go, nobody listens to techno.
Not my style
Pjesma 6 jedina koja valja Pjesma 11 je zanimljiva Ostalo nije moj stil
Please stop giving me EDM albums
Sorry but I can’t stand this record. Usually I’m a huge fan of everything electronic. But this record is too much for me. I didn’t like it back then and I still don’t like it now.
Electrónica ruidosa horrible.
a não ser que eu tenha tomado ÁCIDO não tem a menor CONDIÇÃO de ouvir essa bagaça. cruzemcredo!
Nope, techo dance
Gud vad tråkigt!
Well that was less fun than playing in traffic.
Not for me
1/5 didn’t hear anything interesting or new here. chirpy/clipped sounds were more annoying than anything else.
I did not like it
Is this even music? Just noise..
The kind of electronic music I can't stand. Primitive
Turned it off after a couple of songs, not my kind of music.
I went in fully open-minded again, but Electronic Dance Music fails to enjoy me. Some parts were ok. Even a few small parts were nice, but is was mostly terrible. Maybe a 8am train ride isn't the best setting, but I can't image any other setting would make this better.
I hate electronic music. “Music.” every song got worse- the repetition along with the horrible sound just tied in my hatred for the entire album.
This sounds exactly like 2 guys got hopped up on goofballs and had access to Ableton Live for 72 hours and endless sound patches. Individually on a very micro level the sounds are really interesting. Drop in at almost any point for 20 seconds and something cool is going on. The problem is that *none* of these work as songs. And after wayyyy too short a time this is exhausting, literally. It's an assault on your ears. Like "let's cram EVERY hardcore saw wave synth patch into these and change sounds every 30 seconds!" enough, please. And fuuuuuu... the sidechain pumping is off the charts nauseating (that sense of pumping on the beat every 2 or 4 beats. it's too too much. all.the.time) Headphones on for a "whoa!" experience but take them off after half a minute before you get dizzy. 2/10 1 star
Liked D.A.N.C.E but not really any others
It’s not air or daft punk
First impressions: This is not my style...but trying to stay open-minded. I don't really "get" the album art + album title + song titles correlation or meaning. It's kind of hard to judge it as a cohesive album. Genesis has a good opening for an album but then has a part where it sounds like a plane is taking off which I hated. Let there be Light has a nice beat for dancing but then very quickly becomes straight up noise pollution. I think most of these would make for great, mindless lose-yourself dancing, high at Red Rocks or drunk at Bowery Ballroom. I just would never put it on at home, or on a road trip, or really when sober, period. It's just really really hard for me to accept that I needed to listen to this before I died. There are better albums out there. OH DANCE. Yes okay I've heard this one. This one is way better. Okay but then we're right back with Newjack and the static noises making me think my phone/headphones are experiencing technical difficulties. Such a frustrating song. I'm just...angry now. I made it halfway through the song but had to skip. This album is stressful listening personally. I dipped my toe into a few more of the songs and it's pretty repetitive. Valentine was better than most; The Party was worst than most (DNF). I listened to the last four all the way through. Stress was aptly named. I had to give up on it after 2 minutes because it was just winding me up. Not really what I turn to music for, especially dance music. Just sounded like a horror movie with that background noise. DVNO, Waters of Nazareth, One Minute to Midnight were better than the others. After 3-4 songs, I stopped, and following day had to grit my teeth and muscle through the rest of the album just to be fair to the artist. Only song on here I'd ever think of listening to again is DANCE.
I couldn’t finish it
Cross by Justice? And it's French electronica you tell me? I couldn't muster an ounce of enthusiasm for this even if you paid me a million dollars. Say it with me again everyone, in the hopes it actually comes true this time: NO MORE FRENCH ELECTRONICA!!!!!!
The fact I'd forgotten this is justice in itself.
This thing... it's not my kind of thing.
??????
nope
I can somewhat appreciate some of the works that was put into it, but its just abrasive. Its like if you take synth wave, mix it with whatever samples you can find, mangle it all up and add a dance beat to it. 1 star
Nop
Tjee, je zou dit album maar kopen omdat je het enigste hitje leuk vindt. Dan kom je bedrogen uit. Lijkt er totaal niet op, voor mij te electronisch
Poing pling pong. Niet leuk, maar ik begrijp dat er een markt voor is.
Niet mijn kopje thee. Teveel ruis, bliepjes en electronisch geneuzel. Party klinkt lekker, de rest mag van mij snel af.
Shit, not that I like.
1 1/2
down vote dubstep
Eww
Nah
Helaas, kan me niet bekoren
I tried to give this a chance, but it was terrible.
Kind of fun for work, but mostly monotonous and uninteresting.
