He serves up 11 tracks of relentlessly catchy electronic songs. The songs follow the same basic format - layers upon harmonized layers of chanted, shouted, and whooped vocals over some of the best house/acid/what have you sequences I've heard all year. Practically every song on here could qualify as a single. Lyrically, Muscles is funny and ironic and somehow manages to come off as completely sincere all the while. The tag "My friend Richard/Is teaching me Acid/ Because I was too young to remember the music/ For them it took hours/ For us it takes seconds/ If we want to bring it back we've got to make it different[!!!]" from "My Friend Richard" captures the glib-yet-endearing feel that pervades throughout the album. Where he really thrives, however, is in recreating early house/rave music. He's not really innovating or subverting or any such thing here, but like his British contemporary Mylo, he's simply damn good at what he does. This one's a serious contender for party album of the year.Mylo Destroy Rock And RollNo Age Weirdo RippersSufjan Stevens IllinoisThe Cure Boys Don't CryThe Jesus and Mary Chain PsychocandyViktor Vaughn Vaudeville Villain3.5 greatA Sunny Day in Glasgow Ashes GrammarAir Talkie WalkieBasement Jaxx ScarsDeerhunter CryptogramsDo Make Say Think You, You're a History in RustGhostface Killah FishscaleInterpol Turn on the Bright LightsKanye West Late RegistrationKanye West The College DropoutLil Wayne Da Drought 3New Order Power, Corruption and LiesNew Order SubstanceThe Smashing Pumpkins Siamese DreamTim Hecker Haunt Me, Haunt Me Do It Again3.0 goodDaft Punk Human After AllGrinderman GrindermanInterpol AnticsJustice †LCD Soundsystem Sound of SilverThe Cure Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss MeTokyo Police Club A Lesson in Crime2.5 averageAir Pocket SymphonyBorn Ruffians Red, Yellow and BlueDigitalism IdealismDigitalism have obviously done their homework in house music's back catalogs but what they've done has been done and done better. Some of these tracks are absolute bangers but on repeat listens, Idealism simply have a good ear for matching a good hook with a beat. Obviously very talented, but ultimately derivative. I'd rather listen to Daft Punk.
