Guys, I never said that Justice were the first group ever to use gated disco samples and distortion, just that Justice were the ones that made Electro House, as we know it today, as popular as it is....

Well next we can compare them to 808 State, because hey, they're both Electronic groups, right? No offense, but you seem to be grabbing at straws here comparing Justice to any "innovative" Electronic...

Idealism sounds a lot more like Daft Punk than Cross does.

Lots of producers have been making more interesting music than Justice, I don't see why you would mention a pair of 90s Hip-Hop and...

They really should be. Before Waters of Nazareth was released this whole "scene" was just a loose association of similar-sounding artists, most of whom were typically grouped in with Dance-Punk at...

The complaint about Justice’s synths might’ve made sense when all they had released was Waters of Nazareth, but I really don’t see the connection between a track like “D.A.N.C.E” and a track like...

lolol

First off, listen to a song like "We Are Rockstars" or any of DIOYY's other early stuff and tell me that it doesn't just sound like early Justice vs MSTRKRFT. Besides, basically every...

Well it's kind of hard to get a good grasp on say, Microhouse, when he goes out of his way to tell you it's boring and bland outside of the two or three producers he names.

DIOYY is just a Justice...

I didn't say that the beat wasn't important, just that the vocals aren't always secondary. They're just as important as anything else in a song. The beat is certainly necessary in order to dance, but...

No they aren't. What are you even basing this on except your own personal experiences with dance music?

Vocals are just as important in dance music as in any other genre.

Well I mean, I could say that in rock music the vocals are secondary because the most important thing is the guitar, but that wouldn't make it true. It's all subjective.

What?

Also, if you'll scroll up a bit you'll notice I gave examples of electronic songs where the vocals are basically the most important thing in them.

I'm not saying they're wrong, I'm just saying that to say that Antony's singing isn't a major factor in people's appreciation of this album is completely ridiculous.

In this case, yes it is. This album wouldn't be praised nearly as much by indie kids if it weren't for Antony and the DFA connection.

H&LA certainly isn't "average," either, and while it isn't...

It is heavily steeped in dance culture, because the average indie Joe probably isn't going to enjoy a disco album except for the irony factor.

Plus, if you read Sherburne's review, he does think...

I brought it up to point out how there's a huge disconnection between your average Pitchfork reader/indie fan, and members of the so-called "dance community."

To the average Pitchfork reader, them...

Yeah, I've been loving all this disco revival stuff lately. Escort, Trus'me, all the Italians Do It Better stuff, etc.

If all their releases are on par with this and "Happy House," DFA is shaping...
