Justice Releases "A Cross the Universe", a Live CD and DVD
Justice released their second full length album last week entitled, "A Cross the Universe". The release is a live album and is accompanied by a DVD.
The CD captures Justice's unique live performance incredibly accurately. They spin all of the tracks from "Cross" as well as their remixes of "NY Excuse" and Simian's "We are Your Friends". They manage to remix all of these tracks live as well as mash a few of them together. The show ends with a raging metal head banger mixed with "TTHHEE PPAARRTTYY". If you caught Justice any time in the last year and half there are no surprises on this album. I saw them twice during this tour and it is incredibly similar to both of these shows. Not to say that their live show isn't fantastic, because it is, but being able to compare multiple performances and not finding a lot of differences is a little disappointing. I was hoping for at least a few tidbits of new and exciting material. For those who weren't able to make it out and see them, this is an excellent substitution.
The DVD is a look into the life of Justice that is brand new for me. The documentary follows the French Duo, label mates Kavinsky, Sebastian, and Busy-P, their gun-toting manager, and their friendly bus driver across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Not surprisingly, the pair does a lot of partying, but they also get into a lot more serious trouble than you might expect. The hour long documentary includes bottles being smashed over heads, a lot of irresponsible behavior with guns, and multiple arrests, not to mention some fantastic live footage. Look for cameos from such celebrities as Anthony Kiedis and Kanye West. Although you don't here Justice speak much, the documentary is very entertaining.
"A Cross the Universe" is a must have for any fan of Justice.
