this is so mid...
>>121565647Their first album had some good tunesThey’ve been coasting ever since
>>121565647You wouldn't get it man, you had to BE there
>>121565647*midkino
>>121566308AVD is a 10/10 though
>>121565647Justice is really good filter for electronic music listeners. Cross is amazing, but it's far from the best of justice.
>>121566308AVD and Woman are great
>>121565647Their last albums are most enjoyable live
>>121567920>>121567083I dunno, Horsepower was a great start but the singing songs are boring…I left the tab open, I’ll give it another shot >>121567727What would you say is their best then
the first half of hyperdrama is some of the most kino shit they've put out since crossif you don't enjoy neverender or afterimage or mannequin love i dont know what to tell you
Explorer could easily be a part of giallo soundtrack. Cool evolution from Phantom.
>>121570164the first half is definitely better than the second. >if you don't enjoy neverender or afterimage or mannequin love i dont know what to tell youhere's the thing. I think those songs are quite good songs individually. But in an album context I think electro songs that sounds like Generator should've taken up more space. Only Generator and Incognito are what I consider heavy bangers. The rest are just good slowburns. Also I want to point out that Dear Alan is such a let down for me being a fan of Alan Braxe and his era of french house. The main loop is just a glorified elevator music, a main menu music on wii game produced by Justice. No emotion whatsoever that is akin to the masterclass of "Intro". Also is it just me or the opening track being Neverender feels awkward? Like why not start with Generator. Neverender is a good song but it sounds like a deep cut of the record when you've become mellow. Weird choice.
>>121570736There's some extra shit going on in the live version that really makes Neverender. As is, the studio version is definitely limp and a strange way to start a pretty cool album. I just wish there was one more club heater to round out the album.
>>121568031bro if you dont like New Lands i dont know what to tell you
>>121565647NEVERENDER IS THE BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM ANON
>>121565647It's better than Gamma by Gesaffelstein at least. The issue I have is that these guys can take 8 years to make a new album, and they can't even produce an hour of new material. Planisphere was made the year after Cross released for a Dior Homme fashion show and is nearly 18-minutes. Gesaffelstein's latest album, not EP - he says it's an album, is his first in 5 years and only 27-minutes!
>>121565647>2 collabs with Lame Impala
>>121565647it's alright. probably the most enjoyable project to come out of the post-planisphere mediocrity era
>>121571501>>2 collabs>2what the fuck were they thinking?
>>121570736>Also I want to point out that Dear Alan is such a let down for me being a fan of Alan Braxe and his era of french house.Alan is Alan Parsons you goofball.>>121568031>I dunno, Horsepower was a great start but the singing songs are boring…It's weird how many people love Horsepower. It's cool as an album opener, but it's one of the weakest tracks. Civilization, Ohio, Cannon, OnNOn, New Lands, Helix, AVD and Presence are all excellent.As for Hyperdrama, I think they released too many singles and it's warping our perception of the album. The only loser is Muscle Memory, everything else rules ass.
>>121570736Dear Alan sounds exactly like something from The Upper Cuts
>>121565647>Justice x Thundercat
>t. zoomers still mad sophia fell off a roof while drugged out of his mind
>>121572338The Alan in question is definitely Braxe as >>121572453 points out. The Chris Rainbow to Alan Parsons connection is just a happy coincidence
Afterimage is a really good tune ngl.
>>121567920AVD is their best album and they've still never topped it.
>>121570736>No emotion whatsoever that is akin to the masterclass of "Intro".closest i've heard in recent years to that genius track arehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tHstGJsZfshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84XI9-3efJQ
>>121573004No way, AVD was a huge let-down after the energy and hype of Cross and A Cross the Universe. I would even argue that Woman is better than AVD.
>>121566308>>121567727>>121570164Cross is lit af, but TTHHEE PPAARRTTYY and DVNO are garbage
they gave up halfway through the album
>>121573489AVD is better than Woman. Woman's mixing is worse than AVD, and the songs are sloggy and lifeless. All the "revamped" versions that made it into WWW were better.
>>121573573DVNO top 3 songs off the album, are you high?The Party is based if you're not a virgin.
>>121573573>DVNO>garbage faggot get a clue
>>121572580who?
>>121573573>DVNO>anywhere near close badNot even death could save you from this shit taste,DVNO is literally one of their best tack ever
>>121573573actually Cross is amazing, except for Valentine and Stress
justice is better to just see live than to listen to their albums idk they just dont do it for me on the albums compared to seeing them
I think it is pretty good, no cross but definitely a banger
>new justice album comes out>listen to it>thinks it’s great >get on /mu/>they shit on itEvery time
sounds like AVD 3.0
>>121565647I think I'm more enamoured with the production and engineering on the last 3 albums rather than the songs themselves. Nevertheless fun listening.
>>121565647I do think the first half until Incognito is pretty strong, although I enjoy The End as wellI feel it needs another Generator at the end thoughPlus I feel the percussion on this album is kinda weak
>>121571222Yeah seriously ive always wondered why the French take like a decade to make an album
First album was good because they didn't care, experimented, tried different things. Then they got famous and felt they need to deliver perfection. That's whan creativness gets lost. Same with new album. It's ok but not great. Or maybe I just grew out of French House
>>121579314Same with Sophie and PC Music. I'd take a bunch of private school autists fucking around with logic vsts over "perfect pop" any day.
why did they get rid of the signature Ed Banger drums
>>121579314I think you make a great point with that idea of "perfection". I guess it's pleasant to hear something meticulously crafted but if the focus is more on the "quality" of the sound rather than the musical ideas of this sound, what's the point?
not as good as Cross but better than AVD. their second-best album in my book.
>>121565647Give it multiple listens. It'll grow on you quicker than you think. Same thing with Neil Cicieregas music.
Any other albums like Cross? They are obviously never going back to that sound, there are like 2-3 tracks I actually fully dig. I know sebastian / mr oizo has some stuff like that.
>>121581904Maybe some Boyz Noize, but especially zombie nation, 2009 zombielicious album
>>121572496THIS. IS. THE. ENDDDDDDDD.
>>121573573filtered by the two corny partykinos. many such cases
>>121565647Born to drop the hardest mixed live shows known to electronic fans, forced to drop mid so they have material to mix into the live.

If I came across this album with no context, I'd say it's pretty good, maybe even really good. With what I was expecting from Justice, it's underwhelming. Who knows? Maybe I just need time for it to grow on me
>>121573573Agree, their vocals are terrible

>>121582267heheh
Gonna listen to it in my big party thumper system. I'll report back when I finish.The banter in this thread is making me excited for it, tho, with shit like >>121570164 and >>121580257
>>121582840Yeah honestly synthwave/darksynth is a good place to look for that old aggressive french touch sound or something evolved from it, that's where I ended up over the yearshttps://youtu.be/JuFJ9reBX5chttps://youtu.be/xWRcwQr-zeYhttps://youtu.be/pNSAUAcTagAhttps://youtu.be/fpCtor2ViSchttps://youtu.be/UT6d6RC2gS8https://youtu.be/CqytmscKS6Ihttps://youtu.be/w22lkDveo3Mthere's also a fair few SebastiAn imitators out there that have some pretty good shithttps://youtu.be/rnKO6IZG-fshttps://scatman.bandcamp.com/track/hudgenshttps://youtu.be/3Vc7QOqZNjM>>121583304He did release Origins in 2019 which I'm pretty sure is the LP that he teased all those years ago when he was still releasing his original EPs. He said he decided Danger worked better in an EP format, but this shit sounds straight from the late 2000shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNSyMNWvjz8&list=OLAK5uy_m_Q4hQQv95ibIZ5GjRr2VG9EYQAffnBaE
>>121578965I think it's because after they become "famous" for their first album or whatever and start hanging out with other "famous musicians" they start sniffing their own farts a bit too much and think their next album "needs to be a masterpiece" and procrastinate way too much. Gesaffelstein first album when hardly anybody had heard of him was 58 minutes long, and his most recent album now that he's signed to Columbia Records and hanging out with the likes of The Weeknd is only 27 minutes long. Look at how Daft Punk split in 2021 but hadn't released anything in nearly a decade prior, they could have toured for "Alive 2017" at least.

>>121573573youre a faggot
Its good, not a bad song on it imo but needed atleast one more banger. it feels incomplete
>>121586516Yeah I thought Muscle Memory was going to be the one last hurrah. I think the current version of the song and album are great, but it's lacking one more club heater in the second half to truly timeless record. The live album will certainly fill that void, but we've got a year or two wait for it.
why do artists make more sleepy time music as they get older
>>121586638the older you get the less you tolerate noise
I really like Explorer, but I wish they kept up the spoken word and left off the regular RnB vocals from Mockasin. Surely they could have made it spookier.

>>121578128no the fuck it doesn't
>>121585250>MyonMyonMyonMyonMyonMyon! HOLY FUCKING BASED
>muh album x is best>muh album y is best>Only a single mention of woman worldwide so farYeah, entire thread consists of plebs kek. Woman worldwide is basically a gigakino single mix of every kino justice song, turned up to 11. Some breathers in-between but it's literally nonstop hyper energy. Especially shit like the WWW version of Randy, chorus, or stress
ah yessss thisss albam is sappose to be like a like a loop based you know the songs on za albam we wanted to a make our own sample like a loop you get me?
>>121581904>Any other albums like Cross?See >>121587562WWW is basically cross + other justice albums except "cross"ified
>>121587562Funny you used Randy as an example. I think it's the only Woman song I prefer on Woman instead of WWW. S&S, Pleasure, Alakazam, Heavy Metal, and Chorus are all next level on WWW. Stupid excited to see them in July.
>>121587778>Those last 1:30 minutes on Chorus (WWW) after the massive buildupI'm gonna COOOOOOM
>>121586638>>121586654lol the perfect example came to mind that is Sonic Youth's trajectory.
>>121587562I really don't like the drums on WWW. It's too clean and boompy... I WANT CROSS-LIKE SNAPPY KICKS AND SNARES ON GOD....
Generator rocks and def got me hyped but I think releasing it as a single (and so early) was a mistake. Hyperdrama rules but for all the reasons I didn't expect.
It's on repeat since yesterday evening for me.Neverender, Mannequin Love and The End are all great.The cosmic turn on the second half surprised me but only Justice can go that direction after 8 years of making us wait.Coachella set was nice and I'm excited to see them live in December. I can only hope regular live will be longer than festival live since I think they missed a few tracks to achieve kino status in Coachella.
the vocals on Mannequin Love and Neverender are so fruity lol, I don't know why they insist on these kind of falsetto vocals on all of their songs after Cross
>>121587562>gigakino single mix of every kino justice songYou could say that about any mix, mix are almost always better than the original
>>121594519LMAO no
>>121573004based and true
Too many people wanting or expecting Cross again. This album's good
>>121596695It's decent but I just can't take the intro to one night all night seriously. It's like babbys first attempt at FL studio kek. Also the song loops wayyy too many times
>>121587778>>121587793Chorus (WWW) is amazing in its own way but I think the original on Woman was just megakino and Crossplebs refuse to acknowledge it. The fact the lead guitar and choir from it aren't present in any of the live versions so far is a disservice to it.
>>121594541Prove me wrong or I swear to Checkov I'll cock your clock off
>>121597176damn you just reminded me of how on Access All Arenas New Lands is missing the hypest section from the album version of the song for no reason, shit would've played real well, it's just free hype and I don't get why they didn't include it
>>121596695>Most similar cover to Cross since>First single sounds like Cross>Call it GENEratorI don't need it to sound like anything. It's got the classic French house sound and that's more than enough, but at the same time, someone (whether the band themselves or the label) created that expectation
Neverender is stuck in my head
cross is my least favorite justice album. people are way too nostalgic for it
>>121565647yes, it's extra medium
>>121577023But Stress is the best song on the albumTheir remix of it at Coachella was amazing, they know what their bread and butter is
>>121565647kys fag
Honestly my favorite track from them.
>best track>Nobody has mentioned planisphere yetI guess it's too obscure nowadays?
Daft Punk is dead, long live Justice
They're obviously trying to pry their way into basic bitch playlists with these songs. But the point is raised, why do they give a fuck? They probably have enough cash from touring and royalties to do whatever the fuck they want.
>>121601272Planisphere is sick, always play it back to back with The Parachute Ending>>121604188They've always liked pop music, go look at their old interviews and you'll see them say it's their favorite genre, also a lot of their remixes over the years have been of pop bands. Even with Cross they said they were trying to make a disco record kek. This is them doing what they want. For the most part it's not bad but of their newer shit I'll probably be mostly listening to Zombie and Escapades kek
>>121582584>liveWould be cool if they played live shows in the US that aren't Shitchella or other music festivals so that I didn't have to put up with an entire "music" festival to see them. I might unironically go to Europe somewhere just to see them at a dedicated show instead of a festival.
>>121583918
Wow, people in this thread REALLY hated Woman, huh...
once again the best track on the album is the one that sounds like cross
>>121604838I think woman was great, better than RAM desu
>>121604775There's some non festival east coast dates. West coast dates probably announced soon.
>>121567727I've already listened to Autechre, the most complex electronic music to date. Justice is for juveniles and queers.
>>121605040I checked after making my reply, looks like they added more dates after I initially looked at what they had going on several months ago. I'll take a chance on waiting for some west coast shows to pop up, don't really know if I want to put up with nosebleed seats in Filthladelphia for the type of show I'd typically try to get pit tickets for.
