Justice "Audio, Video, Disco"

Decades after these bands have graced stadiums and stages there are echoes of their sound found throughout this record, and may also be found in the hippest of discotheques. There would be no justice if this band does not get the recognition they deserve for their disarming debut, or its thrilling follow-up; They have big shoes to fill, but taking it for its worth they do pretty well. Whether it’s The Who, The What (Pink Floyd), The When (Black Sabbath), The Where (Queen) and The How (Led Zeppelin) you can hear these bands re-imagined for the dance floor ( not literally). The first song not only runs on “Horsepower,” but seems to run out in the fields as the harpies ask to come sail away. The next song sounds like Daft Punk and The Who collaborated to create the perfect musical “Civilization,” as soon as I figure out whose vocals they remind me of. The arpeggio sounds like dance music played in Hotel California; despite the fact they are in “Ohio,” and the harmonies resemble Queen (who were from London). “Canon (Primo)” was nothing more than twenty six seconds randomly recorded to prepare you for what was to Follow. The “Canon” sounds like a mixture of the king of pop collaborating with the band fronted by the prince of darkness, and some daft punk (what the h***? You don’t know those artists?). This zeppelin is prepared to go “On’n’On,” vowing not to stop until it arrives in Kashmir, so are you ready? OK GO! I either read this through “Brianvision,” or was that just my reflection? This “Parade” is of those that bite the hand that feeds, like their Floyd pink, and proclaim to rock you with that beat!   On forging “New Lands” they proclaim that it don’t matter if you’re black or white and refuse to breakdown, and no matter who they are, racism shouldn’t be tolerated. The title track may be more repetitious than most songs, but it is only saying one word throughout; who needs words when you have a chugging rhythm like this?
