MikeFromMaineMar 17, 20099This thing moves from start to finish. A few moments to breathe here or there, but otherwise it makes pop/dance non-stop pop/dance music seem easy. Great for running, working out and driving.

[Anonymous]Oct 4, 200810Absolutely fantastic album all 'round. One of the best of 2008. Weird that even the reviews that gave it low scores seem to praise it. I don't know why this site allows shit reviewers that no one cares about to drag down the overall score of a fantastic album such as this.

katfMay 24, 200810Quite honestly, this album hasn't left my CD player since it came out. it's simply stellar. it'll be hard to top this one for album of the year on my 2008 list. also saw cut copy live a few weeks ago and it was one of the most outrageous, dance-tastic shows i've ever seen!

JonVJun 30, 200810The perfect spring /summer day to evening soundtrack. Seemless from beginning to end, and as dynamic as it is varied without being too schizophrenic, it's hands down the best release so far in 2008.

JJJan 23, 200910A musical gem of epic proportions. A beautiful, yet catchy album with some incredible songs. Probably, the best album of 08.

JustinP.May 23, 20089One of the best dance records this year, thanks to DFA man Tim Goldsworthy for producing it.

DavidKSep 29, 200810Refreshing, unchallenging, perfect for the positivity, fun and listenability that it's added to my music collection. It's simple, engaging, enjoyable and hasn't worn off on me after 15 listens. Perfect.

BillHMay 23, 200810So rare to find an album that is just pure catchy joy to listen to. Every song has hooks and is different enough to be interesting. Daft Punk crossed with New Order...outstanding record of the year so far by a mile.

RenatoM.May 25, 200810The perfect blend of disco, 80's dance music, and today's electronics, with some Joy Division guitars to make it even cooler.

PamP.May 27, 20089This album is like delicious New Order that doesn't suck. I can't stop listening to it. I bought their debut CD and its just as amazing!

NickB.Jun 14, 200810Its SO close to being a flawless album I had to give it a 10. Its a 9.7/9.8, but I had to round up. This CD is amazing.

Aug 12, 20109Beautifully and sympathetically produced, this is a cohesive set of pop songs dressed up as electro/dance. Unashamedly romantic lyrics cut through painterly washes of synth, summery acoustic strumming, and the occasional rave-up sound effect. The presence of Tim Goldsworthy behind the boards cannot be underestimated - what a remarkable transformation from their debut!
-
Jun 20, 20119Hugely diverse record. There's rock, pop and dance. It's upbeat, it's glory filled, there's angst, there's melancholy. It's fast, it's slow and, the majority of the time, it all comes together incredibly well.
-
To be sure, In Ghost Colours is a triumph of craftsmanship rather than vision--a synthesis and refinement of existing sounds rather than anything dramatically new and original--but it is an unalloyed triumph nonetheless, and one of the finest albums of its kind.
-
The way In Ghost Colours exploits my affection for synth pop and empty, detached vocals, I should be knocking down Dan Whitford’s door trying to get a strand of hair, but the album unfortunately loses its resonance on subsequent listens, its sheen lessening to a duller shade with each closer inspection.

From start to finish this is an unexpected adventure through the crossover, leaving the door of the VIP bunker open for us all to sneak in.
