    What Audio, Video, Disco does best is show off what a pair of good producers can really do-namely, simplifying technical musicianship into head-throbbing dance music.

    Audio, Video, Disco is simply too unfocused, too half-baked, and too busy hiding its inadequacies with superficially interesting window-dressing to fit in either of those settings--or any other.

    When an album like this comes along, critics go insane because it is not what they expected, and they pan it because it isn't reminiscent of the artist's/group's previous album. Justice deserves the benefit of the doubt on this album: yes, it is different, but they are still tackling a focused idea - a synthesis of two genres (despite what Tiny Mix Tapes would like you to believe). Instead of tackling the extremely epic disco/dance sound again, they decided to go for a more alternative electro/rock style. Was the transition that bad? Any worse than Daft Punk's transition from Homework to Discovery? I don't think so, but, then again, I am not one of the published metacontrarians on this site.… Expand

    Audio, Video, Disco feels really forced. A few tracks standout but the album ultimately feels really rushed. It's also extremely repetitive.

    I signed up just to give this album a 0. If you like Justice, STAY AWAY FROM THIS ALBUM! It is a disappointment at least, and a failure at best. There is a reason that Justice never made there own music before. They are not musicians. RIP Justice. 2003-2011.… Expand
