Justice - † Pretentious symbol = french dance?

god that video is soooo good.

there's the 'track-by-track' commentary that includes footnotes from both stephen and david themselves and some anonymous record-company 'officials'

I've read this stuff on their site too but the current layout is fucking ridiculous, you'll have to go hunt for it

now i need a video for Surkin's 'Next Of Kin' (or that ravey one)

what are H5 (Etienne's brother and Antoine Bardou-Jacquet) who did the 'Remind Me' vid up to these days?

not sure if it's been mentioned here, yet.
the new live album and documentary are surprisingly good.
almost as good as alive 2007.

Is the encore sampling a certain famous hard rock group in there?

Yes. Also, enormous meh.

pre-ordered the DVD/CD just because the trailer looked awesome

there's no such thing as a justice live set

lol @ that video

best bits: Rydeen, super hot french girl just after that

You're on a mission and your wishin
Someone could cure your lonely condition
Lookin for love in all the wrongplaces
No fine girls just blurry faces

the jon spencer blues explosion of dance

This record kicks ass to work out to, must say.

Maybe they should start playing techno at gyms

another Front 242 parallel resolved

Oh my god. They *ARE* the French Ministry.

I haven't LOLed so hard in ages.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

imo this record is still pretty ehhh

imo this record is still pretty great

are these guys ever going to do another one?

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.

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??

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"

you just compared uffie to missy elliot

lotta dumb shit being said itt

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

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.

Got Jesus on my neck-a-luss.

lotta dumb shit being said itt

do explain

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

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"

huh

isnt that weird

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

ahhh my favorite style of posting

i love tik tok

i thought this revive was going to be bc the new single had leaked or something

lol @ this thread title "pretentious symbol = french dance?" is that a question what is this

well tbf the thread WAS started by noted ilx poster "donkey"

I like.

(max)(otm)

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.

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

What's the one that samples Goblin wholesale?

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

also this is one of the worst thread titles ever

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.

you just compared uffie to missy elliot
