    If you are a serious Groove Armada fan you will love it or hate it, I doubt there will be an in between. If you are just a music lover who is really digging the way electro and indie sounds have come into their own in the last few years than this is definitely for you.

    Black Light is, as it implies, a dark record. It's also a brilliant, shinning beacon of electro-pop sophistication, but it's a dark, dark record all the same.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    60
    If anything, on the likes of 'Warsaw' and 'Cards To Your Heart', it gets too dark, but there's enough funk in their trunk to ensure that the coffee table crowd won't be too terrified.

    A fresh, rich and varied offering. Paper Romance and History are definite hits which will keep the masses happy for a long time to come. Dig deeper, and check the album out from start to finish (a few times) and you'll quickly see a creative holistic showcase that I never knew was there. Great Job, kudos to all involved and hopefully more to follow.… Expand
