Remedy

I listened to three or four songs and knew this wasn't getting any better and stopped. This was very annoying. 0.5/5

Extremely danceable, some very cool sounds, if I liked house this would be a very hard hitter.

This album has its pretty high-highs and its pretty low-lows (looking at you Same Old Show) but is overall a pretty alright project with some really good songs on there. You just kind of have to sift through something nothingness at times to get there.

DANCE

I can go for a fair amount of EDM but I found this album to be grating and obnoxious. There always seems to be at least one repetitive element in each song that is placed there simply to be so annoying that when they remove it, you get this rush of relief. And the way some things are processed is so over the top it throws off the balance of the mix completely. Absolutely fatiguing. I'd honestly prefer to listen to the more "linear, close minded, shiny, robotic, superficial" electronic music they disparaged in interviews than have to sit through this high contrast carnival ride again.

It's fine electronic/dance music. It gets repetitive, but I think that just goes with the genre. Didn't hate it.

Reminds me of being 17, but not in a good way - just sounds like everything I had to tolerate on the radio. Could easily be Fatboy Slim or Moby, or any of the other cash-in copyists that followed.

Ihan kiinnostavaa teknoa (?) ei silti ihan yllä neloseen.

I bought this when it came out, at the time house music seemed adventurous and mysterious, but Basement Jaxx gave it a geekier and more accessible edge. I think because Felix wears glasses.
There are some duff tracks, but there's just enough intelligence and sophistication here to elevate it above the standard Ibiza floor fillers.

EDM pre-dating 2010/2011-ish, which was when I first became aware of any of that. This one made for, like, decent focusing music for me, but wasn’t particularly memorable
