Best French Pop
"Digital Love" starts off silly and gets sillier, but the monosyllabic lyrics lull the senses just right, allowing the song's summery groove to grab hold with authority. "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" is a resounding standout amidst the retro/Vocoder deluge that transpired after Cher's Believe turned the kitchy disco device into a worldwide pop music trend, spinning a clever groove around an ever-escalating string of computerized seduction.

"Absolutely flawless."
"The art work upon opening the LP is interesting and the LP's are finely pressed... Ok, the songs are stellar and sort of flow into one another making for one cohesive listen... STANDOUT TRACKS: Face to Face, Digital Love, Harder Better Faster Stronger, Something About Us & Aerodynamic..."
"Unfortunately, after receiving my copy of this record, I found a rather unpleasant click/pop that occurred at the beginning of Aerodynamic. To clarify, I borrowed my friend's copy of Discovery and the clicking/popping did not occur as in my two copies!"
"Review for the Music: Amazing."
"C and D appear to actually play reasonably well unlike A. I'll be returning this in hopes I can get a slightly better pressed first disk, but seeing the reviews others have given for their side C problems I'm worried."
"Obviously the album itself is gold, but vinyl buyers beware - you're not gonna be happy with how this sounds."

"Heard a single from this for the first time on the radio and thought, "My gosh, I've died and gone to 1982!""
"My vote for best album of the 2010's so far."
"For myself, i'll buy an album when a number of it's songs stay with me and my mind will randomly bring them up."
"This is one of those albums that, as you make your way through it, has you saying, "Oh yeah, THAT'S who that song is by!""
"I'm a big hip hop head and into production."
"I heard Outro at the end of The Gambler (Mark Wahlberg) and I knew I found something special."
