Also, I think I've seen that "pretentious symbol" somewhere before.

fetchboy and all those seconding him - speaking as someone who has heard the whole thing, your instinct is spot on

(nb 'waters of nazareth' is still awesome and there is actually one other good song! near the end. called 'stress' or something like that. but the rest of it is exactly what you suspect it is)

Erm, I was joking. My thoughts on Justice are well-documented.

blueski, Sunday, 13 May 2007 13:33 (sixteen years ago) link

jed, i bit and clicked on the link, but couldn't get past 'stress'. i remember actually enjoying 'genesis', but then it got real samey real quick. and yes blueski, this shit makes me feel old because i can totally see teh kids rocking out to it.

Jena, Sunday, 13 May 2007 16:38 (sixteen years ago) link

i like the way it comes up as the first album, and correctly displayed at that, on my iPod :-)

first listen, about half (in the middle) is meh to interesting, but the other half is exciting squealy stuff. i think (apart from the 'meh') that this might be intentional. a lot of the songs (not the last one!) have distinct codas - more distinct than any verse/chorus/verse structure. it's all very prog. but not like progressive house.

Alan, Monday, 14 May 2007 09:27 (sixteen years ago) link

and yes blueski, this shit makes me feel old because i can totally see teh kids rocking out to it.

as long as i love lil' mama and mims, i will not feel old or at all removed from the kidz

uffie track is a low point, which is annoying.

pretty boring/painful past the stuff already released as singles, huh

"Stress" is the only Justice track I ever want to hear, ever

fat fat fat fat Usher (DJP), Tuesday, 12 April 2011 20:39 (thirteen years ago) link

I just read the RA feature on Justice linked up thread and they seem to consider themselves more pop dance music. It'd be hard to dance to the instrumental tracks (Stress, Let There be Light, Nazareth) but all the songs with vocals (DVNO, DANCE, We Are Your Friends) are definitely danceable.

frogbs, Tuesday, 12 April 2011 20:51 (thirteen years ago) link

use of "gang-raping" as non-gross metaphor
bewilderment that ilm dislikes justice and uffie even though some current pop acts that dont get very much ilm love have a similar sound
belief that "tik tok" is "the worst"
belief that ilx hates uffie b/c she sounds like kesha
hatred of kesha
belief that ilx hates uffie b/c she is not as good a rapper as ghostface
belief that missy elliott is lyrically challenged <--- possibly dumbest shit said itt

ban drake (the rapper) (max), Tuesday, 12 April 2011 21:17 (thirteen years ago) link

I don't understand why anyone would be surprised that ILM dislikes Justice either but most of that is just "opinion that doesn't line up with mine = dumb shit"

for the record, the main reason why I hate Uffie is because she is not as good a rapper as U-God

Although the new track isn't their strongest.

Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 20:54 (thirteen years ago) link

This track goes a little too far down the 80s rock path for me to really love it.

Moodles, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 21:11 (thirteen years ago) link

six months pass...

surprised at just how badly this is dating, it's probably what "Human After All" should have been but yeah I can't wring any enjoyment out of any of this except for three parts 1) the first few minutes (up until that pulsing drumbeat of "Let There Be Light" that just devolves into nothingness), 2) "DVNO" which is still killer, and 3) the random obscure Devo sample which I'm sure almost nobody recognized

frogbs, Friday, 21 October 2011 16:01 (twelve years ago) link

What's the one that samples Goblin wholesale?

dog latin, Friday, 21 October 2011 16:03 (twelve years ago) link

this is one of the worst thread titles ever

& yeah, "dance" is timeless but it's just weird to listen to the whole album now

J0rdan S., Friday, 21 October 2011 17:58 (twelve years ago) link

also this is one of the worst thread titles ever

J0rdan S., Friday, 21 October 2011 18:00 (twelve years ago) link

it is pretty impressive that "DANCE" is only like the 3rd or 4th most obnoxious tune on the album

frogbs, Friday, 21 October 2011 18:21 (twelve years ago) link

Anybody have an a capella of that song? 'Cause fuck those vocals. Just because it's off key doesn't make it cute.

fauxmarc, Friday, 21 October 2011 18:36 (twelve years ago) link

I guess the point is if you really like stuff that's unsubtle and really obnoxious, you have dubstep now

frogbs, Friday, 21 October 2011 18:39 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah, that. So anyways, Justice just released a really good rock album that's better than † and getting some positive press. Loving "New Lands".

Spinspin Sugah, Monday, 24 October 2011 20:25 (twelve years ago) link

yeah - fans of the last album seem to be getting in a jiff about it, but it's kind of neat in that it kinda sounds like Yes or Camel or Styx or something stupid like that. dunno how I feel about it yet.

frogbs, Monday, 24 October 2011 20:27 (twelve years ago) link

Fans have yet to repent their brostep sins. You have to approach this album like you never heard the last one.

Very cool. I like it. My wife and I have matching JB tattoos. I have the sheet music for the main riff of Bridge To Better Days on my rib cage and my wife has it a little smaller on her side also.

new track here:
http://www.justice.church/

it has a nice bass groove, but they need to dig themselves out of this mid-tempo malaise if they ever want to excite people again.

Al Moon Faced Poon (Moodles), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 18:38 (seven years ago) link

Yeah, the cross record had an anxiety and danger to it that made it compelling. Haven't heard them do anything else with that feeling.

socka flocka-jones (man alive), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 19:11 (seven years ago) link

Was just listening to cross the other day in fact, holds up pretty well.

socka flocka-jones (man alive), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 19:11 (seven years ago) link

I agree. OTOH, I don't think I ever need to hear the 2nd album again.

Al Moon Faced Poon (Moodles), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 19:21 (seven years ago) link

I was listening to the 2nd Anniversay Get Physical mix again the other day, specifically "Our World (Our Music)" and thinking "this song is just perfect".

where has this been all my life

boxedjoy, Wednesday, 13 July 2016 23:26 (seven years ago) link

i disagree. i like the new song (its a bit RAM/HAA daft punk). dont necess need to hear them go into full distortion mode.

StillAdvance, Thursday, 14 July 2016 09:36 (seven years ago) link

four months pass...

really love the new album.
hits a lot of my aural sweet spots.
yes, the intense overdriven synths are no longer there, but thats what the debut album was all about.
the new one has some gorgeous production layers for headphones, and flows beautifully as a complete album.
the excess of strings and love of AOR actually reminds me of the midnight juggernauts in parts.
no doubt it will flop and sink without trace (no EOY lists due to the release date), but hey ..

mark e, Thursday, 24 November 2016 18:15 (seven years ago) link

it's an improvement over the last one at least. They no longer seem to be convinced that they should be a rock band.

Al Moon Faced Poon (Moodles), Thursday, 24 November 2016 18:17 (seven years ago) link

i never heard the second album, but out of a pokemon type need, i will now have to track it down.

mark e, Thursday, 24 November 2016 18:21 (seven years ago) link

it's not great

Al Moon Faced Poon (Moodles), Thursday, 24 November 2016 18:50 (seven years ago) link

so i see from your previous posts.
but i have no problem with electronic bands trying 70s prog.
see juan trip, air ...

mark e, Thursday, 24 November 2016 19:29 (seven years ago) link

on my second listen now and it's quite....good?? I dunno I never actually liked Cross much and didn't give AVD much of a chance. this is sounding pretty sweet though.

frogbs, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 17:38 (seven years ago) link

mark's description definitely intrigues me... totally interested in hearing juan trip now as well
