Justice always sounded a step away from Daft Punk, and now they've followed them right into outright disco, even less successfully than (the wildly overrated) RAM.
The vocals are the problem: generic falsettos repeating the same generic things. They're on every track, so it's a big problem, this problem, whining over all kinds of watered-down popped bass and stringy synths. Every once in a while we get a glimpse of that muscular synth sound, uncut and uncluttered, but its way too little way too late 2.5/5

I feel like RAM has a weird orbit around you. From boring in the original review, to sneakily great in the review for M83's Junk, to now wildly overrated. Fascinating!
ReplyDeleteGood eye! you're totally right, I clearly have really conflicted feelings about it. I think its definitely overrated, and I was probably too harsh on it at first, and the pendulum's still finding center
