SeanP.Aug 19, 2007Sometimes derivative, sometimes exceptionally original and forward thinking, but always pretty unique and different, and better and more consistent than most music out there. It's one of my favorite electronica albums of the decade, and I'm a fan of Four Tet, Junior Boys, DIzzie Rascal, The Streets, and Caribou.

Oct 31, 2010Well... this caught me by suprise. Everyone compares this to Daft Punk, but -here's the shocker- it's not. Every song has it's own feel. The highlights of course are Genesis, D.A.N.C.E., Waters of Nazareth and my favorite, Stress. Every time I listen to each song, I notice new sound I never heard before. A masterful album, hats off to Justice, I'm still in awe.

ligvana.Aug 10, 2007Daft Punk wannabes. Absolute rubbish. I'd rather strum my pubes

OligamiSep 11, 2007It's official: D.A.N.C.E. is the catchiest song of the year. If only the rest of 'Cross' were as Daft Punk-ey...

AdamWSep 17, 2007Greatest debut since Daft Punk's 'Homework'. Killer from top to bottom.
-
-
NateR.Oct 9, 2007Quite simply an amazing, pumping, electric album. Too bad only 3 songs have lyrics. Still, Waters of Nazerath and Newjack are sweet beats. Great album to buy.

JoeM.Jul 10, 2007Loud, analoguey, crunchy-nut dance music. For crunchy-nuts.

GiterdoneJul 7, 2007Damn good bangin' stuff

-
TylerMJul 8, 2007This album transcends the line between headphones and dance floor in a way that only Justice can. Brilliant.

mikefAug 3, 2007this is where rock n' roll went. find out or wander - i don't really care what happens to you.

MateuszS.Sep 25, 2007I agree, amazing samples and rhythm.
-

JamesWSep 6, 2007Why do the French make the best (fun) dance music? I haven't been able to stop listening to this album since I brought it. It is no understatement when I say that this is one of the best dance albums this year. Much, MUCH better than 'From Here We Go Sublime'...
-
-
NeutroFeb 2, 2008I have to disagree with some people.. D A N C E is almost cringeworthy, however - the rest of the album is top notch.
-
-
M.C.Sep 6, 2008Reminds me of Jackson and his Computer Band Awesome...!

ClifCMay 16, 2009While we are all waiting for a REAL come back by Daft Punk, we can enjoy this great album by Justice. Standout tracks: "Let There Be Light", "Stress" and "Waters of Nazareth".
-
-
CarlosDJul 10, 2007Even from a long time fan with just about every thing they've released - this album is incredibly surprising. Dynamic, musically complex and unpredictable and best of all, sounds nothing like their peers who do nothing but imitate them. True artistry and zeitgeist - this one will be remembered. (except maybe the song with the atrocious Uffie)

-
RexKJul 13, 2007Electronica makes a comeback in 2007. The breaks and the grooves are both grimy and sexy, a provocative combo that will have your muscles twitching and your head spinning in all the right ways. Now start downloading it already.
-
-
emanuelaJul 23, 2007Organic techno with pop-rock flavour! Surprisingly refreshing, ranks best electronic music album of the year, matching LCD SoundSystem's "Sound of Silver"
-
-
JohnnySJul 5, 2007This isn't a pop album. This is a sublime musical experience.

KidchairAug 29, 2007Not a PERFECT record, but next to LCD Soundsystem's "Sounds of Silver," it's the best dance/electronic record of the year. The first bunch of tracks blow your mind, while others don't work quite as well. Still, it's a very solid album and should be liked by any fan of crazy electronic sounds with a dance beat.

AceSep 24, 2007The renaissance of dance is here! What better an album then Cross to put you in the mood to dance. And who better then this duo to put the romance back into of electronic. It's like finding a new boyfriend and he likes to d.a.n.c.e. to the b.e.a.t

StefanoRNov 6, 2008Think the most beautiful album i got. it's always running on my hi fi at home,on my ipod, on my car, even if it was released one year ago!
-
-
NishantCOct 19, 2008An album with the ability to turn people from electro-haters to electro-lovers.
-
-
LucasL.Aug 24, 2008This is by far the best and most creative album of 2007. With both raw power and intense beats, this makes for a great play at a club, a superb album to listen to at home, and I would absolutely LOVE to see this in a film someday.
-
-
DavidM.Sep 14, 2008Best album of any genre last year (and this year, compared to the truckload of FAIL and AIDS that got dumped on the public this year).
-
-
DavidVJul 21, 2007Very fun. At first. After a while it gets VERY OLD, just like Daft Punk.

NoelSJan 12, 2008Will anyone ever stop comparing Justice to Daft Punk? They are two different acts with two different styles. The only thing they have in common is that they are French. Regardless, Cross is my favorite album of 2007, hands down.
-
-
AndrewPOct 16, 2008One of the greatest Electronic albums in the last decade, Justice knows how make a dance album, and they do it well. Blaring hits such as "Waters of Nazareth" and "DVNO" are but a few among the truly epic songs on the album. My advice, "Go Buy This Album!"
-
-
ChrisB.Mar 26, 2008Harder, Faster, Stronger than Daft will ever be, however I can see the simularities. This is the album you love at first listen and only gets better. Very Impressive.

RyanGJan 23, 2009While brief, this record is a great combination of dance beats and overdriving crunch with catchy melodies and Soulwax-like electronica tricks.

AmurabiM.Nov 27, 2007They´re not totally different to Daft Punk. They´re not building the reborn of dance music. They´re not getting back again the rave and disco culture. They´re sound a little bit original but not too much. They´re feeling to me overrated: oh, yeah.

-
NatoDec 29, 2007Almost top of the class, not quite as good as daft punk but not far off. a sexy and fun album.

Mar 9, 2013Very original tracks, one of the bests actual electronic albums, mix of dance, pop, rock and other alternative features makes this album unique and different, and that's very good.
-
May 21, 2013It's one bass booming, riff jamming, beat dropping house album. Irreverently entertaining compared to Daft Punk, and will put thee under a spell that makes the feet move and one's head bobbing.

Nov 4, 2017Best album of Justice by far, amazing flow and rhythm, every single song feels special in some way. The french always make the best electronic music d00ds.
-
Apr 15, 2017A masterpiece. Supreme. This album definitely shows the greatness of french electronic music world. Innovation that only Justice or Daft Punk could bring to that era. The whole album gives an extremely good energy to the listener. One of the best albums in EDM.

Jul 11, 2019CROSS is a dynamic, loud, and great album. DANCE is now very famous, and deservedly so. Stress and Phantom p.1 & p.2 are also high points.
-
Feb 2, 2020Let's be real. Justice already proved themselves with the We Are Your Friends remix. This is their first studio debut and oh boy, is it a strong one. Must-have for all Justice fans out there. Genesis is the song which made me listen to whole discography of the French duo. Goddamn, I love France. Elegance, music and espionage.
Awards & Rankings
-
Justice know when to curtail the industrial strike and dazzle you with some star-skipping pop-chime, or a warble of gloopy future funk, before tossing you back into the unlit mire.
-
Justice? Talent to spare, but that doesn't stop '†' being just another frustrating dance music album.
-
At its core, Cross is loud, restless, and daring. A creative tour de force, Justice have unleashed an era-defining album for the children of acid house.
