(3 stars) - Mediocre tech-house filler
You know how everyone who doesn't enjoy dance music says it's repetitive and uncreative? Well this album is a perfect example of just that. As a DJ I've become very particular about what's considered good dance music and what isn't. Now I'm not saying that Boys Noize (terrible name, terrible album cover) is bad, it just isn't anything you haven't heard before. On this release you'll hear it more times than you need to. Nearly all the tracks on this album are too long, terribly repetitive and quite honestly rather grating. The groove in many of the songs is almost there but then just fails to deliver. All the retro arcade sounds, robot voices, distorted digital guitar and vocoder effects just can't save this album from mediocrity. These tracks are good for about 1-2 minutes tops in between or with other mixing but that's about it. My track ratings;

1. & Down 7/10
2. Lava Lava 7/10
3. The Battery 5/10
4. Oh 7/10
5. Let's Buy Happiness 7/10
6. Arcade Robot 6/10
7. Deny Selected 3/10
8. Shine Shine 5/10
9. Vergiftet 6/10
10. Superfresh 6/10
11. Wu-Tang (The Battery pt.2) 4/10
12. Don't Believe the Hype 6/10
13. Frau 9/10 (I really liked this track, most likely because I've heard used repeatedly in Justice sets)
14. My Moon My Man 2/10

Boys Noize please step away from the vocoder and retro sound effects and try to put a little less generica into your tracks. The potential for some amazing tracks is there but never seems to come to fruition. The whole release feels like a failed attempt to emulate Justice, which in this instance there's no comparison.

(5 stars) - Boys Noize - dirty electro house?
dirty electro house... the closest i can come to describing the genre of boys noize. I would say if you like Justice, MSTRFRFT (esp. fist of god), and especially digitalism, you will most likely enjoy this album.

If you like Justice, be sure to check out the remixes of Phantom by boys noize.

These guys are endorsed and played by major players including steve aoki, mstrkrft, proxy, feadz, justice, etc [go to a club; ever heard of it?]. I'm sure you probably heard of them from a club or something if you're reading this; but trust me, these guys are awesome and have more to deliver than just oi oi oi or &down.

Also, check out their remix album, their new album (Power), and if nothing else, definitely the I robots - frau (boyz noise rmx).

peace out,

ps. all i do is party, HA HA HA HA :D

(1 stars) - this group lives up to its name
noise ( noize ) is the best way to describe this same level electronic attempt. The songs all sound the same and the noize that is selected are weak sounds in my opinion which makes the patterns sound even weaker. Total waste of money. But I will say that this group has inspired me to produce music again. If they can make an album then I don't have anything to worry about. Considering that boys noize actually has people that like their material. oi oi oi ...?!

(5 stars) - totally awesome musician/DJ live
I saw Boys Noize play after MSTRKRFT & I thought he totally blew away MSTRKRFT which played a horrible 'sissy' ie house music set, maybe bec it was house music club.

But Alex Ridha did not compromise but played his high-energy metal-sounding dance music even thought 80%-90% of the crowd couldn't dance to it. Fine by me as I had an awesome time at 4am in the morning til 6am which is when he went on. Totally saved the night considering the lame house music being played before 4am.

BN also used a mixing board to play his DJ set vs laptop like the Chemical Bros does in their shows. Makes the mixing more special...

You rock, Alex..
