Noisey French Guys Go Pop

Now that the dust has finally settled from the huge hype that surrounded the release of Justice's debut album, we can appreciate that this is a great lp. However, it is definitely stronger in some parts than others , and the comparisons with Daft Punk's debut, must be very flattering to the Justice boys. Apart from the singles, the two standout tracks for me are DNVO and Stress, the latter which has been getting plays from Erol Alkan. DNVO is one of the more pop inspired moments on the album, not too dissimilar to some of the tracks on Daft Punk's Discovery album.

JUSTICE - DNVO
