Welcome to FFTWG Rate the Album! Every so often, I'll update
this topic with a new album for the forum to listen to, rate
from 1-5, and discuss! I am choosing popular/landmark albums at
random for us to listen to and rate/discuss! I will keep a list
of the overall album rating in the first post.
FFTWG CERTIFIED RATINGS:
Justice - †: 4/5
[hr]
The first album we will be listening to and rating is Justice -
† (Cross, or Justice on streaming services) from 2007,
regarded by many as the greatest electro house album of all
time, and one of the greatest EDM albums of all time. Listen to
the album and rate it on a scale from 1-5 (1 being the lowest, 5
being the highest)!

Light 4/5
Album itself is really hard and keeps you on your toes the whole
way through, but, the middle section of the album feels like it
drags a bit too long. First three tracks don't disappoint, and
last 3 don't either. I think if the album wasn't as stretched
out as it felt, I would have enjoyed it a tad bit more, but as
is, it's still a decent project and I wouldn't mind returning to
it.
Favorites: Genesis, Let There Be Light, D.A.N.C.E, Phantom Pt.
II, DVNO, Stress (*Top Favorite*), Waters Of Nazareth, One
Minute To Midnight.
Least Favorite: Newjack

4.5/5
This was a great album. The songs all had very fresh beats.
Every song flowed fantastically into each other, it makes the
album feel unified. One piece of criticism I have is that these
songs could have more variety... for some (Thinking of Newjack
and Phantom) it just felt like a specific section was repeated
too much, which unfortunately happens a lot more in this genre.
But other than that it was fire!!
Some songs resonated a lot more with me, notably Let There Be
Light, D.A.N.C.E, Phantom Pt. II, Valentine, Stress, One Minute
To Midnight.
Also, some of these songs also sounded like Pokemon music to me
hehe. If you like the electronic parts of these songs, I
recommend KLOUD, he does songs like these except none of the
"funk" element.
Thank you for showing us this album by the way! It was fun to
listen to :)

I rate Justice by Justice a strong 4/5.
For starters, the flow was consistently amazing, as is a
positive point for most EDM albums. Any album with a consistent
flow like this is very immersive and makes you feel like you are
a part of the story you are telling. One night in a club with
some club electronic music! My qualms about the playlist are how
in the middle it gets rather dragging and forgettable when
listened in one sitting, although the tracks are still good on
their own.
All in all, good collection of songs individually, and also as a
group though with some forgettableness. I love how each track
has its own unique sound, and also how vocals feature more
heavily starting from The Party. Some songs feel stressful,
like...well, Stress, whereas others, such as D.A.N.C.E, are more
upbeat and energetic. It creates a good combination of songs
that I enjoyed listening to.
Side Note: Also realised that Tik Tok by Ke$ha heavily featured
The Party by Justice.

I really liked the album! 4/5 from me as well. The flow was
fire, the songs were consistently dynamic and exciting, super
danceable. I agree that there does seem to be a dip in quality
in the middle and I think it could've mixed it up even more
(which is part of why Stress is such a breath of fresh air (that
Night of Disco Mountain sample!!)), and the dip of excitement in
the middle-ish area makes the album feel a liiiittle long. With
that being said, it was still a super exciting and obviously
influential album for electro house.
I had not listened to any Justice before this album besides the
song Safe and Sound, which I suggest for anyone who liked the
album. It seems that most Justice fans don't think any of their
albums are as good as this one, but most people seem to agree
that Safe and Sound is a great song.
I guess we can also add a section to the topic where we can vote
for our favourite/least favourite song from each album. You can
vote for up to three songs for your favourite, and one song for
your least favourite.
Favourites: Stress, Genesis, Phantom Pt. II
Least Favourite: Valentine
P.S. Good point about The Party-Tik Tok reference, Abu, I was
trying to determine what the song reminded me of.

Favourites: The Party is my favourite. Second would be D.A.N.C.E
and third would be Waters of Nazareth.
I'm terrible at picking least favourites, I'll just put Phantom
since I kind of zoned out there and it wasn't as captivating as
the others to that point.
