Full review
Undoubtedly a much more commercially targeted album than the previous "Homework", but who can blame them really. "One More Time" isn't really typical of the rest of the album, the rest although quite poppy, is a lot more sophisticated dance music. There is a bit of overuse going on with the whole vocoder thing but that's only really on about 4 tracks. "Crescendolls" and "High Life" are really cool feel good up-beat tunes. While "Nightvision" (at only a minute and a half long) and "Verdis Quo" provide a bit of a slowing down of the tempo. Definitely a worthy buy from any dance music lover, as it is one of the few dance albums which manages to sustain itself for an entire album's length. However, maybe a bit too poppy for those that consider themselves credible dance music lovers.
