The New Royksopp album, "The Understanding"

So disappointing to these ears after a first listen.

(sigh)

For those interested, here's their first single, Only this Moment but it sounds like something that'd be playing at a club like in that movie, A Night At The Roxbury.

the entire album is a big dissapointment.

I'm not at all surprised by this. For some reason I just assumed their follow up to "Melody AM" would suck.

I'm convinced these sort of groups only have one good album in them.

As evidence I give you DJ Shadow, RJD2, Boards of Canada, Four Tet...

Well it's OK. But it's no 'Music Has A Right To Children'. Like I said it's not a bad album but you'd have to say it was a disappointment when placed next to it's predecessor.

Those two really don't fit in with the others since they're actually dj's and not electronic groups. Plus, their follow-ups, while not as great as Endtroducing and Deadringer, are still pretty good. Seriously, how the fuck do you follow up Endtroducing??

i like since We Last Spoke more than Deadringer.

I also like Pause WAY more than Dialogue

I would like Deadringer even more if the 2 tracks with Copywrite and Blueprint weren't on there. I just feel like they ruin the flow of the album.
