Continuing the sort-of-house popular emergence that they helped to start with their first outing, which also launched such artists as Hercules and Love Affair, Digitalism and Goose, Justice returned triumphantly this year with their second album.
Their command of thunderous pounding and magnificent build ups makes this the top contender for funnest album of the year. It starts with Horsepower, an ambitious instrumental track that Gustav Holst would be proud of, and continues with unstoppable velocity. Crammed with plenty of camp greatness with On 'n' On and Ohio and the irrepressible awesomeness of Civilization and Audio, Video, Disco.
Some fans of the debut can, are, have been and will be disappointed with this effort and this is somewhat understandable. It is not quite as good and sees them straying down a path slightly less distinct and noticeably less intelligent but taken on its own it is a superb effort. And, like I said before, it is so. Much. Fun.
