- sounds better on vinyl
Got introduced to justice when i got introduced to the song Street Justice by MSTRKRFT. At first, i listened to their cd at hmv but i thought it sounded childish & amateurish. I forgot about it until I listened to boys noize.
I thought BN was a more professional in production & sound. After seeing BN in concert w/ mstrkrft where mstrkrft was very girly-man
house sounding, BN just powered through the crowd where 90% couldn't dance to bec they onlyknow girly-man house music. I had a blast. I think boys noize is phenomenal & it brought me to liking justice style of music.
justice, esp on their remixes, like to use distortion guitar/funk-based bass playing. Interestingly, when I listen to Chemical Bros' s songs, "in dust we trust" & "dig your own hole", i feel that I can hear justice. In addition, Chem bros' "these beats are made for breakin" & Daft Punk's "harder, faster breaker beat remix" are being recycled by Justice, boys noize, sebastiAn,surkin. It's interesting that Chem bros has lost its way & Justice is continuing their pioneering sound from their first 2 albums.
Prodigy's always outnumbered but never outgunned album is also being recycled by buzz-synth DJs which was ahead of its time.
When I first heard Justice cd, stress was my favorite track. I didn't like "dance" at all & i think mstrkrft's version is the best. Boys Noize remix of phantom totally rocks as well.
I got the album on vinyl & i think it sounds more "alive" than on CD. Songs like NewJack, let there be light, Stress & waters of nazareth totally rocks. I esp like the guy exhaling on "waters of nazareth".
When I saw their live clips, I see them trying to recreate 80s metal stage sets.
Rating: - It's a copy of Basillios - but then again... it rules.
Cet album gouverne. C'est dommage la division de Basillios d'eux juste avant le relâchement de cet album. Bien que Basillios > l'album est solide... il n'a pas juste le même succès commercial comme la Justice. Il semble comme il sera le Dave Mustaine de musique électronique.
Bon Album.

- The BEST!
This was one of the best electronic music albums I have ever listened, I just loved every single track in it. Definitely worth the money!
Rating: - It's all about fun
Every now and then somebody releases an album that isn't incredibly serious or groundbreaking, but is, above all, just plain fun. "Cross" definitely falls into that category. It's basically a party on a disc.
It's refreshingly light in approach. Justice obviously doesn't take themselves too seriously as one can tell by tracks like "D.A.N.C.E." - but that doesn't mean they lack substance. Although one can never be sure, it doesn't seem like the work of a one-hit wonder. For one thing, there are a number of strong tracks on the album and, most importantly, they have an original take on the electro-glam sound that is so popular these days.
A lot of reviews compare this to Daft Punk, but I think those comparisons have more to do with the fact that these groups are both French duos working in the same general BPM area. Maybe there are more similarities than that, but Justice isn't not nearly as repetitive as Daft Punk tends to be and their songs are more gritty and dirty. Above all, I have to resist this temptation to pre-judge them based on my feelings about Daft Punk. I hope listeners will hear them as their own group - not mere copycats. Actually, I think they're more like Basement Jaxx than anything else - but that's beside the point.
I've particularly enjoyed the way they can blend harsh noise and dissonance with such catchy melodies and pop hooks. "Let There Be Light" is brutal, but compelling. By all calculation, it should be grating on your ears, but instead you just want to dance. While the rhythm is tight, there's this wonderful feeling of looseness as if the instrumental parts weren't entirely quantized on a grid. The lack of rigidity seems to be one of the key factors in the very danceable nature of this disc.
As a side note, I couldn't finish this review without a nod to my favorite Italian prog rock band, Goblin whose soundtrack to Dario Argento's "Tenebre" makes an appearance on "Phantom." Well, more than an appearance - it's basically the whole song. I realize that Goblin isn't as popular as they once were, but I hope some Justice fans will check out their music because they were using synthesizers waaay back in the days of Kraftwerk.
Overall, this is an inspired debut from a promising new band. Although it may not entirely live up to some of the raves here, it's strong and good for repeat listenings. If you're a fan of electro or anything like Basement Jaxx, I would highly recommend this CD. It's fun and easily accessible right from the start, but it has enough depth to make you keep listening again and again.
Rating: - an amazing cd, oh ya!
this has not left position # 1 in my car changer ... esp # 6,8, and 9 amazing way better than Daft Punk and hey, thats a stretch for me to say after ALL of the years I loved them till Robot Rock, ugh!
Justice, amazing!
