alandAug 11, 20056no cut on this album rises above "give me every little thing." worse, the rest of the tracks just sort of mush together and all i could think of when it was over was that it was totally unremarkable.

TimKAug 20, 20052This album stinks like a outhouse. Let's face it, even though we all want to love the synth, the sytnh sounds like poop.

PaulSSep 26, 20059Accidentally heard this CD while shopping at Tower and picked it up as an impulse buy. It's a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of the 2005 releases.

BrianSNov 8, 20055Im not really understanding why this album is getting such good reviews. Apart from "Every Little Thing" there is little of interest to be heard. The female vocals sound like a lazy Miss Kitten. The beats are nothing special. Similar to the DFA Compilations it is very hit and miss, with LCD Soundsystem clearly being the only major talent on this label. And i was sooo excited when buying this :(

Less Than Human is the sound of James Murphy transforming the songs of a guy who has spent a nauseating amount of time fiddling about with Kraftwerk-y synths into an album as enjoyable at home as it is on the dancefloor.

70Good, but not outstanding.

It suffers less from a lack of competence than a general lack of inspiring tracks and the consistency of swiss cheese.
