Royksopp's two first albums were full of melodic and relaxing downtempo tracks. They both contained original and outstanding tracks. It is a pity, that this album is just a simple try to repeat the success of the first two masterpieces. After the success of 'What Else Is There' you can find Karin Dreijer singing on two of the album's tracks. In my opinion, both of them are second-rate duplicates of the original. However, 'Happy Up Here', borrowing some leads from ATARI video games, is a quite original and groovy track. Elektro - trip-hop 'Vision One' is also worthy to be called a highlight. To sum up, I think that this is not as original as first two, but still deserves to be bought for any fan of Royksopp and downtempo/chillout music.

Additional notes
Album Notes: 'Junior' is the third album from Norwegian dance duo Royksopp. Following the massive success of debut album 'Melody AM' and subsequent release 'The Understanding' the band fuse elements of both albums with exciting results. With a blend of electro, house and collaborations with Robyn and Lykke Li amongst others, this is Royksopp's most delightful album yet. Includes the single 'Happy Up Here'.
