Excellent ! This LP is a seminal release for all the guys who like me used to listen to electro-techno stuff for a very long time (the earlie 90's). Ok it's easy for people to dislike those "silly" rave anthems sound, i just like them cause they remind me a lot of things !!! And there's a huge positive feeling listening to that LP !!

By far one of the freshes if not the freshest electronic album of 2007. It ranks right up there with digitalism debut. I would go as far as to say there are more standout tracks on this album over digitalism. The only flaw of this record is that the last half is a mess. In particular its not worth listening to anything past track 7. Still a great debut that like daft punk and digitalism, they choose to use vintage gear over laptops, which in this day and age is more unique and creative than any ambient or idm out this year.

utterly contemptible. The most bloated, cynical attempt to climb onto the "wow look @ us were kool" nu-rave bandwagon yet. It doesn't even attempt to disguise how unbelievably derivative and poor it is, it just recycles simple melodies and cynical "i liek, go out an punch ppl for fun coz i am hard" lyrics with a production style that can only be described as ugly. I urge anyone who is a fan of real electronic music, god electronic music, to ignore this utter pile of shit. Still better than Kate Nash though.

One of the professional reviews had it right: The best party-starter this side of Girl Talk. Not incredibly deep music, but it's very energizing.
