  1. 91
    The live guitars and drums--and vocals more emo than robo--give off an irresistible warmth. [Aug 2004, p.108]
  2. Bright Like Neon Love feels like the record The Human League could have made if they'd remade Fleetwood Mac's Rumours in 1985. It's like the soundtrack to the best party you've never been too, but always wish you had.
  3. Bright Like Neon Love may be too rock for the dance heads and too dance for the rockists, but for those without ideological hang-ups, it should be merely one of the most fun and exciting releases of the year.
  4. The album Daft Punk should have made. [7 May 2005, p.66]
  5. The results are both familiar and fresh and should delight anyone disappointed by New Order's recent album.
  6. Sounds sort of like a cross between a more mainstream New Order and Daft Punk.
  7. 70
    [An] effervescent, sun-dappled debut. [Aug 2005, p.103]
  8. What separates Cut Copy from the retro-electro-pop pack is the mixing prowess of French house maestro Philippe Zdar. [Oct 2004, p.146]
  9. In the end it's Whitford's sincerity that saves the album. His refusal to get cutesy means that Bright Like Neon Love avoids being a cloying, "ironic" exercise in postmodern cheese.

  1. The combination of 80's synth and dance with an obvious pop/rock influence is something fresh and makes for a great listen. It serves as a belter for the dance floor but also if you just want to sit back, relax and enjoy. Full Review »
