15. Tthhee Ppaarrttyy (†, 2007)
“Uffie’s vocals on here are delivered so perfectly in that half-assed, “I couldn’t care less about anything except partying” manner. The instrumental reflects this perfectly; it’s upbeat but not overly so, the sparse (relative to all the other songs on † that is) instrumentation and sampling leaves so much room for partying and not too much room for all that other stuff like “bombast”, and even the way it’s sequenced and arranged feels that it’s half-assed, maybe even by Uffie itself.”
14. Let There Be Light (†, 2007)
“Let There Be Light,” uses similar contrast between high and low sounds and maintains the drama. The “organ” parts in this song sound almost gothic, very intimidating and dramatic, and are further intensified when juxtaposed with the more modern underground-sounding synth and beats. “
13. Phantom (†, 2007)
“A single which has a pretty catchy electronic beat, but in the end i feel it seems artificial, mechanical and life less. Still enjoyable though, and good enough for background music.”
12. Waters of Nazareth (†, 2007)
“Upon hearing Waters of Nazareth I instantly fell in love with the brash distorted rhythms and the propulsive beats. As such, their highly anticipated full LP became one of my most wanted releases.”

11. Helix (Audio, Video, Disco, 2011)
“Upon hearing Waters of Nazareth I instantly fell in love with the brash distorted rhythms and the propulsive beats. As such, their highly anticipated full LP became one of my most wanted releases.”
10. We Are Your Friends (We Are Your Friends, 2006)
“This album, which is an upbeat mix of alt-rock and electronic elements, is great for any mood and any time of the year. surprisingly complex, it weaves a tapestry of sound and can’t fail to make you happy.”
9. Dvno (†, 2007)
“DVNO takes a different approach to the concept of the previous track, bringing back the intensity of the album with energetic vocals and beats, despite it having a simple beat as a base.”
8. Phantom Pt. II (†, 2007)
“I listen this song to go to sleep actually I don’t know why it just sort of makes me feel calm I guess and a sort of happy”
7. Genesis (†, 2007)
“Genesis, the opener, starts off everything on a loud and immense way, with the use of horns transitioning into a distorted beat, while the amount of layers in production accompany the rhythm in a great way.”
6. Stress (†, 2007)
“The final stretch starts off with Stress, a song that lives up to its name, using the strings samples to create a different atmosphere, anxious, energetic, almost industrial-like, complemented by the many layers of detail implemented in production.”
5. New Lands (Audio, Video, Disco, 2011)
“The original sounds like The Who (intro and verses), Evacuate The Dancefloor (choruses) and 80s thrash metal, with its fashion of playing the middle break faster (middle break), mashed into one track;
The live version, sadly, replaces the metal piece with a dancy one, but at least they made a change, which I expect from many a house artist in their live performances (see Daft Punk, for one);
the Eagle… oops, I mean Falcon one is probably the most interesting of the remixes as it was probably given a thought the most; A-Trak is alright disco stuff, and Sebastian looks at Justice from the perspective of hip-hop. No matter how you look at it, it’s talent here.”

4. On’n’on (Audio, Video, Disco, 2011)
“On’n’on keeps the previous trends but does it a little bit louder in the chorus and in some segments, and it is the track that works the best out of the entire group.”
3. Audio, Video, Disco (Audio, Video, Disco, 2011)
“According to Rosnay himself, they wanted to make something that was more like “daytime music”, more soft and laid back, making the music feel heavy without being aggressive, soft and violent at the same time. “Audio, Video, Disco” certainly achieves all of those aspects, but does it in a pretty inconsistent way.”
2. D.A.N.C.E (†, 2007)
“I predict d.a.n.c.e to be the summer hit of the electronica world. you either will love it or hate it. sure it isn’t classic electro and it’s a ton more accessible and maybe even somewhat mainstream, but i just can’t help but love it.”
1. Civilization (Audio, Video, Disco, 2011)
“Civilization is a catchy track that presents the beat and the instrumentals in a good way, with the complement of the vocals. It showed that the compositions were going to rely much more on repetition, but it still works to a certain extent.”
