Justice - † Pretentious symbol = french dance?

...i mean it's not like wine it's not going to get better or unsuck

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

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

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.

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.

lol wrong thread.

ahaha perfect

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 ..

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

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

it's not great

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

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.

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