    An album that is as melancholic as is it banging.

    They! Live is a lovely, highly listenable release, flowing effortlessly in a way that most house music albums can only hope for.

    It's a solid effort, and one with some ace tunes that will certainly be snapped up by intrepid DJs, but as a full-length, it might be better with a reorganized tracklist in your iTunes music folder.

    It'd be much easier to love, as opposed to merely like, They!Live's glistening, long-form tech-house soundscapes if there were more bombs and curveballs hidden amongst its lovingly pruned forest glades.
