Audacity of Huge is one of my favorite tracks of the year. The video is great as well.

[...] June 2009) Temporary Pleasure, is where the songs I’m highlighting today are from. Most of the blogs I’ve read have focused on the first song on the album, “Cream Dream,” but [...]

Agreed.

It’s a shame the best songs leaked before the album came out. (Audacity of Huge, Bad Blood, and Cruel Intentions.)

think justice’s bass patterns meet the gorillaz’ psychedelics touch-ups and hip-hop vocals. at least on “audacity of huge” and “turn up the dial”, my favorite tracks off the LP. but not too many great things can be said for the rest of the album. i’d still appreciate this as a gift from you charmers at pma. thanks.

utterly contemptible. The most bloated, cynical attempt to climb onto the “wow look @ us were kool” nu-rave bandwagon yet. It doesn’t even attempt to disguise how unbelievably derivative and poor it is, it just recycles simple melodies and cynical “i liek, go out an punch ppl for fun coz i am hard” lyrics with a production style that can only be described as ugly. I urge anyone who is a fan of real electronic music, god electronic music, to ignore this utter pile of shit.

hrmm… I believe this review nails this album right on the head. I really hope that Justice aren’t dumb enough to fall into their label’s pressure to do an album with so many “high profile” collaborations. It’s the Great Electro Act killer, first Fist Of God by MSTRKRFT and now SMD!

I was expecting something like the first album. I’m a bit disappointed, at first. But now I think it’s quiet good, It’s always hard to release an album to the standard of ADSR.

this album is a beast! it deserves a lot higher than a 54 in my opinion.

What the hell? The ratio of bad reviews to good is stupid, it’s like none of you like music at all.

Yeah yeah, you rated it “Above Average”… but 54? that doesn’t sound like a score “above average.” I’d give this a 70ish. That’s more fair.

It’s an alright album but I find it far too hit and miss. Their last release was infinitely better.
