so i have yet to see any discussion of this album here yet,
altho thats understandable, but i still think it warrants
more than some attention.

but yeah, this is some of the best dance floor music to be
put out in ages (comparable only to justice's new album
imnsho). great mix of house, electro and inidie rock (yeah,
lots of guitars, but not the supercompressed kind running
amok through so many excellent ed banger tunes). litereally
every song on this album is gold, it flows perfectly.

if you want to start a dance party, all you need is some
speakers and this record (booze too :P), it will tear the
house down.

also, there are a few tracks on here which if i didnt know
better i would have said were new daft punk. they really
know how to produce that lovely glittery drug sound.

oh and one of the reasons i absolutely love this album is
that unlike lots of dance records put out nowadays, it
sounds live as opposed to being a template for tracks to be
played live later.

it has an immaculate tension-release build which, when done
properly, is ecstatic.

okay, ill stop posting in my own thread now. i hope i can
turn on at least a couple people to these guys, they deserve
all the success they get.

I liked the sound of the previews, but all reviews I've read
have been very very negative.... :S

yeah, i really dont understand why this is getting panned by
reviewers.

the pitchfork review really confused me actually because at
first it says "this music isnt supposed to be novel, just
really fucking good" and then for the rest of the review all
they do is compare it to justice, vitalic et al and say that
its been done before.

silly hypocrites, just get up and dance.
