A Cross The Universe is a live album which was released together with a documentary of the same name in 2008. At the time of the release, Justice were at their peak of popularity thanks to the success of their debut album Cross, which was released a year prior, and this live album is a culmination of that era of Justice
If Woman Worldwide is Justice's Alive 2007, then this live performance in San Francisco, California is their Alive 1997. It's Justice at their rawest and grittiest ... read more
Amazing compilation. The way SebastiAn manages take tracks from many different genres like electronic, rock, pop, hip-hop, ect. and make them his own with his own sound and style is not only cool but also makes for a cohesive experience. And of course the remixes themself hit just as hard as any project SebastiAn made before with remixes like Human After All, Walking Machine, Testarossa Autodrive, Cheap and Cheerful, ect.
If you're a fan of Justice or French Electro in general, this ... read more
Motor (aka Motor/Momy/Army) is SebastiAn's third and last EP in the series of his original EPs, consisting of Smoking Kills (?), Ross Ross Ross and this EP. This project is pretty interesting because, in a way, it's SebastiAn's turning point, where SebastiAn updates his sound and kind of moves away from the dirty sound of his first two EPs and into a more polished territory
The reason why it comes off that way is this EP's production. Unlike the first two, this EP has a ... read more
Ross Ross Ross is SebastiAn's second EP, released just a year after his first EP Smoking Kills (?). It's one of SebastiAn's most iconic works (in the context of his discography and French Electro scene), where SebastiAn made some of his most iconic tracks and whose album cover has became somewhat of SebastiAn's logo (the same way how cross is Justice's logo). It's also one of my favourite EPs of all time and I believe it to be one of the best French Electro ... read more
Smoking Kills (?) is SebastiAn's debut EP and one of the earliest Ed Banger releases. This EP, along with different EPs and projects from different artists such as Justice, Vitalic, Krazy Baldhead, ect. , helped to establish the sound of French Electro. Although this EP might sound a bit dated compare to what SebastiAn would eventually make, it still packs a punch even after all those years
The EP starts off with the title track, which despite being a bit repetetive and simple, it's ... read more
2024 was an interesting year for Justice. The Indie Sleaze revival trend made Justice more seen than they've been in the past decade and this album managed to gather some hype around its release, despite Justice not only not releasing any new albums since 2016 (excluding Gaspard's solo album and WWW), but also having their two releases since their debut be disappointing in the eyes of many. That's mostly thanks to Justice's singles for the album, most of which show Justice ... read more
Escapades is a solo effort of Gaspard Augé of Justice. It was released in 2021, which was the time where the entire world was still struggling with a global wide pandemic. I mention this because Xavier de Rosnay, who's another half of Justice, was unfortunate enough to have caught the virus at the time and thus needed to recover, which's one of the reason why this album was a solo effort. As for the album itself, it wasn't that well received and it really seems to be ... read more
Planisphere is Justice's only original EP that was made in 2008 as a comission for a fashion show of the same name. Since it wasn't a major release at the time, this EP was relatively unknown and to this day it's not the most popular Justice relese. However, it is one of their best releases of all time, being able to measure up with their debut album Cross and it's even considered by some fans to be even better than Cross. So why's this 17 minute comission piece so ... read more
Woman is Justice's third album that was released in 2016. It's a lot like Audio, Video, Disco. in that it sees Justice going further away from the harsh and punchy French Electro sound of their debut and into a more light hearted sound that's nostalgic towards the 70s music and this time, Justice is nostalgic towards disco music of the 70s, resulting in an even more bright and lighthearted album than even Audio, Video, Disco. At this point, it's hard to call this album ... read more
Audio, Video, Disco. is Justice's second album, released in 2011 after their successful debut album Cross. This release essentialy marked the end of Justice's era of gritty French Electro sound and Indie Sleaze aesthetic that defined them in 2000s and it began a new era of Justice, one that is defined by the duo's nostalgia towards 70s music (in this case being prog rock). This change did not appeal to most of Justice fans and this album, as well as the next one, was received ... read more
Justice's 2007 debut album Cross is probably my favourite album of all time. It might not be the best EDM album ever, but it is an album that's special to me, since this LP and Daft Punk are what got me not only into electronic music, but also into music in general. It was with genres like French House and French Electro that I began to explore music and started to treat the art form more seriously. Because of that, I want to share my thoughts on this album and why I love it so ... read more
Amazing album, but even after listening to it a couple of times, I still can't unhear the guy in Man Next Door singing "Always a fuss and fart"
To quote Dan Olson from Folding Ideas: "Cringe. There's no other word for it. This makes me cringe. It's embarrassing."
This is what I imagine hip-hop sounds like to people who don't like hip-hop. This is one of the most outdated, unfunniest and ugliest albums I've ever heard and I'm suprised that it has a pretty high score on this site.
I'll start with a few positives. The beats and overall production are by far the best thing about this album. The percussion is a bit basic but ... read more
Never expected to see a Cassius sample in this album of all places
