Hyperdrama

Pitchfork 6.3/10 The French electronic titans’ fourth album is sleekly aerodynamic, expensively appointed, and stacked with bold-name guests like Tame Impala and Thundercat. If only there were some real drama.

The Needle Drop 7/10 Justice's strongest core album since Cross, but could still use a bit more focus.

NME 5/5 ‘Hyperdrama’ is a blockbuster release that meets the hype: flashy, over the top and keen to make a spectacle.

The Line of Best Fit 6/10 Ultimately the album's uneven tempo and uncertainty at its heart make it unclear what Hyperdrama wants to be and to whom they still appeal. Second guessing has rarely seemed so obvious and the once disco punks have very clearly, finally, left the building.

The Independent 3/5 Justice demonstrate their skill as talented producers once again, but only a handful of the songs could fire up a club.

All Music 3/5 That it doesn't leave much of an impression compared to the rest of Augé and de Rosnay's work might be the most unexpected thing about it.

The Skinny 4/5 Justice fuse funk and synthwave with their trademark electronica – the result is intentionally uneven, constantly exciting and extremely dramatic.

Under The Radar 6.0/10 There’s plenty of good songs on the record, and it’s at least exciting that Justice are still intent on experimenting and dodging expectations, but were some of its tracks are executed with a little more zest, Hyperdrama could have been a truly great album.

Mojo 3/5 Ultimately hit and miss, Justice’s gift for arena-friendly hooks remains undimmed.

The Observer 3/5 The French producer duo attempt a return to their roots, but the results are a little too polished.

Pop Matters 7/10 Parisian dance duo Justice’s first album in eight years might not bottle the same lightning as their debut, but it’s still got enough charge for a wild night out.

Spectrum Culture 70% Justice are back. Turn up the volume, roll down the windows and stop thinking about it.

The Telegraph 3/5 Variably groovy and often catchy, Hyperdrama represents a marked improvement in Justice’s output.

Uncut 8/10 Hyperdrama boasts the same kind of air-punching swagger and imaginative ambition that made Random Access Memories so inescapable.

Hot Press 8.0/10 Here, the pair deploy all their maximalist powers across a lush, melodramatic and gorgeously baroque collection of belters, boppers and bangers.
