"The thing that stands out about this album is just the amount of energy every track has. Every track has its own individual character and sound, yet still has the Benny Benassi flavor.
The music on this album is, for the most part, quite uplifting and makes you want to get up. If you are a fan of electronic dance music, you'll find a lot on here to appreciate. This is electro house at its best, and Benny Benassi is doing a great job of defining the emerging electro genre.
Many tracks on here have vocals, and they do not disappoint. On 'My Body', although Mia J's vocals may come off as juvenile, add to the overall attitude of the song and match perfectly with the infectious hook.
On 'Shocking Silence', Dino's vocals add quite a bit of emotion to the track and shape the song's atmosphere. Again, here they do not disappoint. This track along with 'Love and Motion' with Christian Burns sound surprisingly emotional for a house track, and both are brimming with energy.
The sound is a bit more evolved from the one on Hypnotica, but those who enjoyed it will enjoy this one for sure. There is a lot for everybody here, and for those who like electro house, this album is absolutely flawless."
