Justice - † Pretentious symbol = french dance?

hey wait a second ... this is GREAT

A++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I really like the Justice album, although I'm sure if I heard this stuff in a club I would leave.

i've listened to this more than i did discovery at the time. best of discovery better than the best of this tho (obv?). the uffie one is really annoying me tho.

having lived with this for a while now i really love it

(except the uffie track, obv)

whoa wtf

nope, this is still total shit

hey the lex d.a.n.c.e. is pretty good

i've heard it, i hate it

why?

have only heard "d.a.n.c.e."

I can't stand Justice because of the people I know that like them. I know this is not logical or right.

Though I guess I don't like the music of theirs that I've heard either.

i felt the same way until i saw that video of them playing in ... chicago? where they're under the green light? wearing leather jackets? and bobbing in slow-motion to "waters of nazareth"? that was just impossibly cool, and helped me realize that justice really is REAL DANCE.

you know i'm not actually that keen on waters of nazareth myself.

btw, i should have said up the way, that i tended to skip about on Discovery a lot - i liked some tracks a LOT and the rest, it all as an album, i wasn't actually that gonzo for. i've been playing this through start to end a lot (well in the form i have it anyway).

I'm trying to decide if I'd like Justice if I was 18.

I probably wouldn't like myself. More!

When I said indie I didn't mean indie really I suppose. I hate using genres to describe what I like and I was too lazy to name some artists but I'll rectify that now. Spiritualized, Mogwai, Ryan Adams, Whiskeytown, Dan the Automator, The Chemical Brothers, Will Oldham, Nick Drake, Primal Scream, Doves, Super Furry Animals, Spacemen 3, Simian, Slint, Tortoise, Public Enemy, Autechre, Jon Carter, Leftfield, Orbital, Miles Davis, I could go on all day. I'm not part of the indie scene at all really I suppose. Yes I may be a freak for having music as my sole interest but in a social sense other people who really like music are off the fucking wall, cut themselves, or whatever they do. Also these people tend to like shite music so perhaps my problem is that noone likes the bands I like either. The hell I have putting on a cd when I have mates around. It could be to do with me being 18, who knows. yes the message board may just help, I'm not quite suicidal yet

A typical indie kid vicar? Find me some fucking typical indie kids who like alternative country and I'll make you very rich. It said Ryan Adams not Bryan Adams, theres a difference. I see you live in Ireland too, have you any idea how fucking difficult it is to even buy a Whiskeytown cd here? I had to spend 30 quid on one fucking Will Oldham CD, and I've paid that for Spacemen 3 stuff aswell, its certainly worth it but christ if thats what everyone else is doing then I must be living under a rock or something, I don't care about liking weird stuff for the sake of it being weird, I just want to find some people who like the same stuff that I get on with, given the points I made about the bands above its pretty unlikely without the internet.

careful!

i just like 'theres a difference'

Spiritualized, Mogwai, Ryan Adams, Whiskeytown, Dan the Automator, The Chemical Brothers, Will Oldham, Nick Drake, Primal Scream, Doves, Super Furry Animals, Spacemen 3, Simian, Slint, Tortoise, Public Enemy, Autechre, Jon Carter, Leftfield, Orbital, Miles Davis

hmmm ... poll idea germinating ...

poll [ends 5-27]

o Bryan Adams
o Ryan Adams
o theres a difference?

ronan invoked himself at 18, sure, but still feels a little wrong to dig up history like that. especially with the search function so crippled.

the chemical brothers have a new a big beat song featuring the klaxons out.

i found a good one from ethan about "blip-hop" but i didn't feel like digging up an equally lame one from myself to preemptively cover my ass

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
