Justice
 

Anyone who doesn't love Justice can just go to hell, because these guys are seriously the shit. Their Waters of Nazareth EP is excellent, they're great DJs, and when they went to accept the award for the song they did with Simian ("We Are Your Friends" = song of the year), Kanye West ran over to complain. What's not to love?

EDITED: Accidentally called Justice Simian.

Oh , I love We are your friends, will try to get the EP off of soulseek...
p.s. ok seriously, this is the most threads you've started since you've been here...I'm not complaining though...;)

I decided that this forum is very underappreciated (is that even a word? Firefox is telling me it isn't!) and deserved a few new threads to keep it going.

I'll upload the EP when this LCD Soundsystem upload is done if you can't find it.

Nah, I found it, thanks though...will get back to you with the impressions...

very good stuff here... lacking quality sometimes... but always good stuff for the dancefloor...

i really like this. i heard we are ur friends and it really jumped out at me. cant wait to hear more of their stuff

Justice are definitely the best current electronic producers out there now. Heavily influenced by Daft Punk, they do justice to call themselves Daft Punk influenced.

wrong. Justice is the most overrated electronic act, period. "D.A.N.C.E" is a great single; the rest of Cross is bland at best. It all sounds the same; it appears they spent all their talent on aforementioned single. "We Are Your Friends" was also great, but they had help from Simian on that one.

On that note, Simian Mobile Disco is an infinitely better production team than Justice. Attack Decay Sustain Release trumps Cross in every arena; it has more variety, more depth, better hooks, and most importantly, is listenable all the way through. I find myself switching off Cross after three songs at best.

Got that album a while back, always thought "D.A.N.C.E." was one of the weaker tracks on the album. Really liked it overall though.

Justice is THE most overrated electronic act, PERIOD? A little far-fetched, but whatever. They didn't really have "help" from Simian, either, all they sampled for that song was the vocal (the best part of the original song).

I really don't see how Cross all sounds the same. Sure, their keyboards appear to only have like, two presets, but the album is much more diverse than the "Hey, wasn't 90s Dance music great?" stylings of Attack Decay Sustain Release. If you listen to SMD's album and much of their remixes, all of their songs have the exact same rave-revival vibe to them, while Justice has gone from hits like "We Are Your Friends" to "Waters of Nazareth" to "D.A.N.C.E" and back again.

No way are SMD better than Justice. You want to complain about a boring, lifeless, poorly-produced album, pick that one.

Justice change with the times and evolve their music, I hate it when artists just keep the same thing.

My music taste changes within a genre. I love it when artist expiriment with their music.

overrated? perhaps. good? yes.

simian is good as well, but it doesn't make justice suck.
also, cross is not repetitive. i dunno where you got that from.

I'm listening to the Cross album at the moment. It is not exactly blowing me away so far.

I heard D.A.N.C.E. months before his album and loved it. Was looking foward to the album so much and it was a complete disappointment.

Ok. I have listened and I found this to be extremely disappointing and quite amateurish in places. I am very surprised at the love for these.

Yeah, I mean it's not terrible, it's just not very good.

Best electro album of the year for me...:yeah:

Are you having a bubble?

I have no idea what you just said, but I'm quite serious...:yeah:

Bubble-Bubble bath-laugh. I think it's decidedly average sub-par Daft Punk. It is not terrible but entirely forgettable.

Ok, sorry to hear that, it's still the best electro album of the year for me...;)

I don't see what everyone has against it, I thought + was one of the best albums i've heard in a long time. And the Kanye thing is just pure gold.

One of my top albums of 2007. Seeing them live was spectacular too

jackhammer knows what he's talking about


for a real electo album check out Boys Noize's Oi Oi Oi. by far the electro release of the year

Will do. :)

Oi Oi Oi isn't even that good, what's with all the Boys Noize hype all of a sudden? This is nowhere near the best Electro House album of the year, it's only slightly better than SMD & Digitalism's albums (and that's probably because Boys Noize worships Daft Punk more than Justice do).

You want a good album, try Surkin's Action Replay.

Action Replay certainly is a great album; "Kiss and Fly" is definitely in the top 5 electro songs of 2007. I'll have to give the whole album another listen all the way through. However, it'll be hard to top Attack Decay Sustain Release, or Oi Oi Oi. Every song on the latter is a dance-floor anthem, and the Feist remix is one of the better remixes this year.

Action Replay I probably like a lot more because it's all songs I loved last year, just put together in an album with added remixes. Also, his stuff with Bobmo as High Powered Boys is pretty bomb.

Defragging Justice-mp3s is a worthy task for my cpu.

listen to something else

I think Phantom Part II is amazing, especially when remixed by Soulwax.

Looking forward to experiencing a Justice performance first hand at Reading this summer.

I wanna see them live

but not a fan of their album

Then why would you want to?

I think "D.A.N.C.E" is great and certainly not one of the weaker tracks, but that's just my opinion of course..

I totally agree with everything in this post. Except I think A Cross the Universe redeems them. If they would of put their live mix on Cross it would of been so much better.

Yeah Justice is awesome! They're one of the bands that got me into house music along with Daft Punk. My favorite songs from them are Genesis, Phantom Part 1 & 2, and their hits DANCE and DVNO. I actually had them one once when I was driving high, and it sort of felt like I was in a video game. It was pretty cool.

justice - phantom & phantom prtII
amazing song, absolutely love it :)

i like them :)

they are ok.

I owe justice to you lot. If I hadn't joined I wouldn't have got into them, and they're one of my favourite groups. I want people to apreciate them more! haha.
