    What a great album! Sheer fun, and guaranteed to lift your spirits. Cut Copy share the same record label as The Avalanches whose Since I Left You album, is (probably) the best album ever. Whcih is why I only give this a 9. Bright Like Neon Love is sun soaked pop genius, shimmering, infectious, and totally addictive. Try it out!

    This album is amazing, it's like the scuzziest disco album ever made, it's pure Synth pop glory.

    At first I thought this album was strictly forbidden guilty pleasure fare, but the more I listened the more I realized this is exactly what electro-clash should've sounded like, but didn't. (It got too fixated on NY downtown/German cabaret guttersex fetishism, I think). It IS retro, and it does exclusively and shamelessly mine the synth-drenched breathiness of lesser 80 bands, but it is made with such conviction and precision that it hardly matters. Really, really fun music.… Expand

    CUT COPY are amazing. Their sound is fresh and belongs to Melbourne (where it comes from). Love it. Can't wait for the new album due this year (2007).

    I can't believe I'm discovering this album now (2008), it's an amazing album, it's like a fresh cocktail of something old like the 90's and something futuristic that you can't quite see but with that cocktail in my hand I dance on without any worries of what's to come!

    This is one of my favorite cd's of all time. Cut Copy cross the boundaries between electronica, dance, and rock without taking themselves too seriously. Their catchy hooks and dreamy backgrounds make it so easy to get into, and their unique approach to music makes you come back to listen again.

    Sounds sort of like a cross between a more mainstream New Order and Daft Punk.

    What separates Cut Copy from the retro-electro-pop pack is the mixing prowess of French house maestro Philippe Zdar. [Oct 2004, p.146]

    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.
