Justice (3) – †

From the very first note, Cross by Justice delivers a relentless, electrifying journey through the heart of electro and dance music. The French duo, Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, masterfully blend funky basslines, glitchy beats, and gritty synths to create an album that feels both retro and futuristic at the same time.

Opening with the unforgettable “Genesis,” the album immediately sets the tone, delivering a wall of sound that’s both heavy and euphoric. Tracks like “D.A.N.C.E.” and “Waters of Nazareth” showcase the duo's ability to combine infectious grooves with rebellious, almost anthemic energy. The latter track, with its distorted, industrial tones, pulses with intensity, while “D.A.N.C.E.” stands out as one of the most joyous and celebratory moments, a true electro anthem that still resonates on dance floors around the world.

What sets Cross apart is the balance between raw energy and thoughtful composition. The production is layered and textured, keeping listeners engaged from start to finish. Songs like “Phantom” take you on a slower, more atmospheric ride, demonstrating the duo’s versatility. The combination of funk, rock, and electronic elements creates a sound that is both gritty and polished, never losing its edge.

Justice’s ability to merge genres and experiment with sound makes Cross an essential listen for anyone who appreciates boundary-pushing music. Each track feels like an invitation to dance and lose yourself in the rhythm, yet there's a deep richness that rewards repeated listens. Simply put, Cross is a masterpiece, one that has cemented Justice as one of the most innovative and exciting acts in the electronic music scene.

Cross is not just an album; it’s an experience—raw, exhilarating, and timeless. It’s a flawless debut that still stands as a high point in electronic music. If you haven’t heard it yet, stop what you’re doing and press play. You won’t regret it.

It’s ma favouritz album so it’s incredible, merci les gars

This works great on vinyl. Justice is a sonic experience and it's great to have these bangers on vinyl. That being said, side 3 is terrible! Unlike Daft Punk, these Frenchmen don't have a knack for vocals, so consequently I doubt I ever spin side three again.

For me the pressing is simply incredible. Rich middle and high and punchy bass. Gives analog a whole new perspective. Volume is also menacing.

Amazing sounding press, bassy and loud almost to the point of being blown out (purposefully) - such a fun listen.

Near perfect pressing. Everything sounds superb on this pressing, the only small issue is that there is some slight sibillance on D.A.N.C.E., Tthhee Ppaarrttyy and DVNO. Appart from that the sound is stunning, the volume is high, and everything is clear.

This is the best you'll hear this album, incredible sound quality! One of the best pressings I've ever heard of a digitally produced album. So loud, punchy, and crisp; while also being very full and has a ton of depth. Idk how the VMP pressing compares, but I honestly don't think there's anyway this could be improved upon. Get it! Also, you can get it way cheaper than the VMP pressing

I guess recent reviewers and sellers alike refer to the 2021 repress Justice (3) - † (Cross) and not this initial 2007 pressing,
The 2021 pressing is determined by the new MPO laser etched logo + numbers starting with 21 = 2021 (MPO didn't use any numbers back in 2007, just a hand etched MPO)

Sounds awesome - slight static at the beginning on side A but other than that it’s game on!

Great sound overall. Good pressing. Lot's of static out of the sleeve but after cleaning and a full run on both sides it seems to have subsided.
