Justice - † Pretentious symbol = french dance?

i have an honest loyalty to finney's "rocker" description, which is what the stuff i don't like seems to violate (and which WoN manages to avoid)

xp frown was for backpedaling

judging from d.a.n.c.e. i dunno wtf the 'abrasive' criticism comes from

There are more abrasive sounds on the rest of the album. Overdriven bass etc.

ethan you really need to hear some of justice's other stuff in that case

does anybody have an album that all sounds like d.a.n.c.e.

pretty sure thats not actually boney m ... isn't that the original?

oh never mind

I've always thought "D.A.N.C.E." is kind of like Daft Punk vs. The Go! Team.

"d.a.n.c.e." reminds me of stuff like joubert singer's "stand on the word" and kitty grant's "glad to know you"

it's extremely ... disco!

i'm gonna go into the archives and find that thread where all these people stand up for "little black spiders"

another track i dig is that avalanches blend of wham over digitalism

^^^that song rules

YES

("dvno" is ok too, ethan you might like that)

xp well jess and vahid and ethan seem positively disposed to this stuff at the moment

haha, WAHT! they really like this? i thought that was just their contrarian nature getting the best of them.

I've always thought "D.A.N.C.E." is kind of like Daft Punk vs. The Go! Team.

yes me too - bit of Avalanches too, and 'Stand On The Word' as mentioned several times. the Go Team album is 'blarier' - btw their new single is way too formulaic/copy of their previous stuff.

it's the most 'palatable' thing i've heard by them. the rest of the time they sound to me like a more danceable (not difficult ha) Jackson (And His Computer Band) who everyone seems to have forgotten about (if they cared in the first place).

"radio caca" = better than soooooo much ILM-approved dance music

haha, WAHT! they really like this? i thought that was just their contrarian nature getting the best of them.

im listening to twista now

you know whats the fake dance braxe-style joint is 'ottos journey' off that mylo record

http://kscakes.com/LolCats/Default.aspx

i'm going to leave it up to y'all what i mean by that

'peach melba' is the best Mylo Goes To Paris number - but don't think it was on the album?

who here likes Crystal Castles 'Knights'?

ernest st laurent hall & oates remix is necessary

i forgot 'we are your friends' was a justice creation! i loved that. at the time, i remember everyone asking 'who the hell are these justice dudes, making awful indie rock dancefloor-palatable?"

the time was THREE YEARS AGO. over it now. 'we are your friends' due for rehabilitation in 2009 along with 'milkshake' and 'gold digger'.

I like how Spencer always seems to manage to deflect hundreds of posts of snark and/or debate by going "I love this! It's great!"

yeah the only way you can actually deflect snark on ilm now is to make your own posts as content/thought-free as possible, any attempt to justify any stance gets picked on and torn apart. maybe what all the teenpop boosters should have done on the hilarity thread was just go "i love hilary! there's so much good msuic around, man".

I feel like the war is over and now we are living in a heaven of *so much* great music!

i agree with the second hal'f of this statement so much, this is basiclly my entire general feeling about music right now, but uhhh...justice aren't part of the "so much great music". at all. that's why i hate on 'em, people are paying attention to them when they could be paying attention to so much ACTUALLY great music! they are kind of pitiful in a way.

anyway you bore me, you people. i am going to boucne around to some hyphy, maybe follow it up with paris or lil' kim, maybe some ellen allien (=actually fun dance music).

For the record, I actually have written a number of thoughtful things on this thread and the return of the repressed thread.

spencer that was aimed at matt, not you!

Ah ok. (though it still seems to me like you were talking about my 'strategy').

Anway, it doesn't matter because THIS ALBUM IS SUPER AWESOME!!!

OK 'New Jack' is great.

† = ~(P v Q)

I heard D.A.N.C.E. on the radio this week and it definitely pricked up my ears. I like the fact that it uses old style disco sounds. Someone here criticized it as sounding like heavy metal, that doesn't really bother me. I look forward to hearing the album. I tried their song "Waters Of Nazareth" and liked it okay, but not as much.

This is a thread about Hot Chip now?

"Genesis" sounds suspiciously Michael Jackson Thriller-esque.

I figured out the root of the justice argument. 90's revival must include faux-carrot top, ergo Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

who could be against these guys now?

...and for the skeptics, here's the last faux-carrot top from a generation of kids who grew up in a world where they never knew anything BUT dance music...

D.A.N.C.E. = plodding Sesame Street sub Todd Edwards (himself hit-or-miss at least 75% of the time) off-key falsetto with the cheesiest Daft Punk 80's TV commercial arpeggiatos. N.E.X.T.

So overrated & overhyped. This shit is the wurst.

Was already rubbed the wrong way by We are Your Friends' flat singing & blatantly anthemic ambitions, now this, should I suffer through another track of theirs or will those do?

no. sounds like this isn't your thing. maybe try 'new jack' if you're still curious.

"blatantly anthemic ambitions"

what's wropng with ELO?

Nothing's wrong with beautiful anthemic; everything's wrong with footstomping anthemic.

New Jack... is formally more interesting I guess, wrt interference-style cut-up grooving. It's basically a couple of alternating & superimposed loops tho, doesn't sound "live"/rock at all despite light use of distortion.

bimble yr making me seem knowledgeable on a dance thread! theres a whole history of dudes using 'old style disco songs' in dance, this is not new

this is like the shake ya tailfeather thread all over again

one dude from justice looks a lot like dangermouse dressed up as ... [insert joke here]
