    [Ridha's] third studio album is a reliable journey into thrashing, powerful and industrial electro and techno.

    Out of the Black works either on the dancefloor or at the workstation, offering beat nuts from the Front 242 generation to the Deadmau5 kids their deep, dark, and delicious fix.

    The absence of any high-profile pop vocal collaborations--save for Snoop Dogg on 'I'll House You', which playfully (and successfully) pays tribute to house music circa Dance Energy--and greater focus on the French house and techno that formed him, present Boys Noize at his most venerably accomplished.

    Most of the tracks sound pretty familiar, though, with just enough new tricks to avoid feeling like a complete rerun.
