Search - Death from Above 1979 :: Romance Bloody Romance

Not bad, but needs more variety.

"This is a pretty solid remix album. I'm not one for remixes normally, but this album really opens up a different aspect of DFA1979's talent. On "I'm a Woman, You're a Machine" DFA1979 sounds mostly like a distorted mess of rock music, which, to an extent, is what it is. On this album, however, you can hear the lead singer's voice a lot better and it really give you a whole new admiration for the group's talent (the Alan Braxe & Fred Falke Remix of "Black History Month" is a prime example of this).



However, as a whole, the album just gets too repetitive since most of the tracks are just remixes of the same two tracks. They are really good tracks, and really good remixes, but the album would work more listening to one song at a time then listening through the whole thing. If you're a huge DFA1979 fan then I can't imagine you being too disappointed with it in small doses. I'm not. The B-Sides should've stayed that way. They're "alright" at best. But check it out, see what you think."

Great

"The B-sides aren't that great, I can understand why they were never released, but I really did enjoy the album. The Remixes are really well put together, a few are pretty crappy, but none just say the song is remixed when the DJ just sped up the track and added a louder beat. These DJs all had a creative outlook on each song they remixed and made completely different songs out of them."
