The Justice/Uffie reflex "hate" in this thread is still very perplexing. Especially considering how modern pop is totally gang raping this sound as of now.
― Call on me (Spinspin Sugah), Tuesday, 12 April 2011 19:01 (thirteen years ago) link
Just because modern pop is raping that sound (no disagreement here) doesn't mean it shouldn't be hated. Songs like "Tik Tok" are the worst, IMO. The only thing I like about the Justice track is that it seems like it tries as hard as possible to be obnoxious. The lyrics seem to be purposely aggrivating, deliberately don't rhyme, and the beat doesn't even kick in until like halfway through the song!! Plus, it's called "TTHHEE PPAARRTTYY"! How irritating is that??
― frogbs, Tuesday, 12 April 2011 19:15 (thirteen years ago) link
I think part of the Uffie hate is a reaction to how much Uffie's lyrics on The Party sound like Ke$ha.
Sorry if I'm contaminating Cross with Civilization talk but a new Justice single was used in an Adidas commercial. There's bound to be a rip out there if you look.

I hate "Tik Tok" even more than you do, I'm sure. Mostly because it's such a blatant rip off and because it's sung-spoken by fucking Ke$ha. And if I'm not mistaken, it's Ke$ha's lyrics that sound like Uffie's. The Uffie hate is because people actually think she's a rapper and hold her to the same standard as Ghostface, which I think is pretty ridiculous. As Deej said upthread, she makes party girl rap...not that hard to understand, especially when someone as lyrically challenged as Missy Elliot exist(ed) and people LOVED her.
I like Justice a lot and Civilization sounds really good, but this is not music I dance to much at all. It's "activity" music. Music to work out to, bike ride to, drive to, create montages with, etc.

I dunno..I hate her because her voice is fucking obnoxious and she says things like "take it to the next lev"

"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.

use of "gang-raping" as non-gross metaphorbewilderment that ilm dislikes justice and uffie even though some current pop acts that dont get very much ilm love have a similar soundbelief that "tik tok" is "the worst"belief that ilx hates uffie b/c she sounds like keshahatred of keshabelief that ilx hates uffie b/c she is not as good a rapper as ghostfacebelief 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.
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
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

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

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

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.
― 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.

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.
― Al Moon Faced Poon (Moodles), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 19:21 (eight 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".
