Daft Punk have been the reigning kings of popular French house, but with †, Justice made a run for the crown. And from the opening, portentous notes of "Genesis," you can tell they're going for a grittier sound, though still rooted in electro. "D.A.N.C.E." brings in a children's chorus for some disco-funk, while "Newjack" gets herky-jerky. "Valentine," on the other hand, is a jaunty little tune, while Uffie offers her own jaunty vocals to "Tthhee Ppaarrttyy." "DVNO" heads back into the 80s for some new wave, and "Stress" takes the strings from Mussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain" for a darker twist. So while Daft Punk isn't in any danger of getting deposed, Justice at least can count themselves as contenders for the throne.

Upon listening to this album, I found it to be somewhat mediocre with two stand out songs: Dance and Phantom. I did enjoy these two songs and even played them at my parties since this seems to be the most appropriate venue for music such as this. However, I lost a huge amount of respect for Justice when I watched the movie Tenebre by director Dario Argento. To my surprise, the theme music for this movie is Phantom exactly, just slowed down. Essentially, Justice has done nothing more on Phantom than steal an unknown score, speed it up, and do their signature processing to the bassline to make it sound more current. This makes me wonder how many other Justice songs are also rip offs of previous music.

Edited 15 years agoAbsolutely Ridonkulous!! Halloween nite @ a women's roller derby on acid is the best way I can describe it. And as fuck-off & brilliant as it is in all of it's raw-epic-trans-decade-embracing-french glory, it still has 2 crossover singles that even MTV can't resist exploiting.
And while it definitely carries some stylistic hat tips to former French icons like Mr. Oizo & Daft Punk, it still extrapolates enough to deliver a satisfying dose of both the familiar & the new. But don't let the superficial semantics distract you from the greater stylistic whole. † even ebbs & flows through disco-infused sampledelica, post rock, & the melodic cerebral nostalgic bliss of Boards of Canada.
IMO, It's probably the most impressive artist album since Tipper's <i>Tip Hop</i>. A relentless selection of outstanding tracks that seamlessly meld together (not a live mix in this case) into an impressive & cohesive debut album.
