I recall seeing two of these tracks having been leaked by name elsewhere (on top of the one mentioned above which is slotted in correctly), but this seems like an incomplete tracklist; Apple Music lists ON/AN as track four out of a 13 track album. Even if that number includes a bonus track, there's a track missing between ON/AN and Generator.
Saturnine out now

Chord progression is pretty fun, liking those old school electro hits.
This and Gessafelstein releasing a new album shortly... Is this the start of a big return of bloghouse/ electro sleaze/clash / indie dance/ whatever you want to call it? The last 2 or 3 years of electronic music have been really tapping into the late 90s/ early 2000s trance scene so I feel like the cycle is just about to catch up considering Cross is 17 years old now (still absolutely insane to me).

Thanks for this, was at work so completely slipped my mind!
I'm liking this, struggling to think what it reminds me of but I dig it either way
Don't like it as much as the first three released tracks. But still looking forward to the album
Looks like the leaked tracklist has been officially confirmed. For those who missed it:
- Neverender (featuring Tame Impala)
- Generator
- Afterimage (featuring RIMON)
- One Night/All Night (featuring Tame Impala)
- Dear Alan
- Incognito
- Mannequin Love (featuring The Flints)
- Moonlight Rendez-vous
- Explorer (featuring Connan Mockasin)
- Muscle Memory
- Harpy Dream
- Saturnine (featuring Miguel)
- The End (featuring Thundercat)
Sorry for the bump but I'd say checkout their Coachella performance if you can! Neverender was played twice at least and sounds amazing. Probably some other new music I couldn't pinpoint.
Can't wait for the album, just two more weeks!

Huge! I've had such a busy month I genuinely forgot this was dropping tomorrow. I'll wait to listen when it's up in the UK but I'm excited now!
No you need to make a spotify account while on the NZ vpn. you can use a throwaway email from temp-mail.org
but whats easier is to just throw on the vpn and go to the youtube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mOZRHpMF5NUVPdB_vLPt4juUXc5caU_lk

After a full listen - the first half is packed with so many gems. Neverender, Afterimage, Generator, Dear Alan, ON/AN, Mannequin Love...goddamn. The second half is not quite as strong but perhaps follow up listens will let them grow on me. Favorites are Neverender and Afterimage so far.
It's a close race between this and AVD for my second favorite Justice album. AVD has more driving, energetic songs (Helix, Civilization, Canon, etc) while this has more of a space-y, disco-y, atmospheric vibe which is equally great.
Here's to their next album releasing in 2035 :')

Hyperdrama OUT NOW

looks like most tracks are not available just yet.
There's a countdown to release at Midnight ET

Agree that album's definitely more of a grower than I expected. It feels less like Justice's usual brand of symphonic nu-disco and more like Justice fusing old school disco and R&B with synthwave. I didn't expect the back half to go back to more of that Vangelis and Tangerine Dream worship that Gaspard did on his Escapades record. That being said I definitely feel more intimate replay value in it compared to AVD and Woman; some tracks like Neverender, Afterimage, and Mannequin Love already feel like instant classics, and we've all had our piece to say about Incognito and Generator.
Goodness gracious though; that synth odyssey in Muscle Memory

OK, so you know how R.A.M by Daft Punk is like a really good album from a mastering standpoint, right? Like the thing you'd wanna test speakers with. An album that showed what they learned and they they knew their shit.
This is like that but I actually want to listen to it.

This has been so worth the wait. It's just so dang good when I compare to how I felt after Woman and AVD.
Muscle Memory is definitely growing on me. And damn the transition from that to Harpy Dream then Saturnine is just *chefs kiss*
But Afterimage, Neverender, Dear Alan and Mannequin Love are still tops for me. Instant classics. Afterimage probably cream of the crop
AVD holds a special place for me for multiple reasons but I think I have to slot Hyperdrama above it into 2nd place. The boys are BACK baby.

Good tracks in there: Explorer feels like a track from the Castlevania 1999 game we never got, Moonlight Rendez-vous is the the theme song to the best cyberpunk detective noir I've never seen, and Dear Alan is a sweet goodbye letter to Daft Punk. Great composition and passion in there.
The vibe really does fit the album's name, as its a modern tech infused drama. But… I lean more to the OG "Justice" album more, as it had more variety in the songs; Not that I dislike Hyperdrama, I just miss upbeat kinetic flows of D.A.N.C.E., or the sample heaviness of something like Newjack.
I think this one is giving some real bangers, but they're more mellow in comparison (but that also makes it more cohesive than Woman). I do love the experimental nature of Muscle Memory. Not going to go into the previously released tracks, those were already sweet from the get-go.
Weakest song to me was "The End"… strange because I like Thundercat. Maybe I need another listen.
Now I just need that new Hiatus Kiayote and Childish Gambino album, and my year will be great.

Only partway through inbetween getting ready for work this morning but… I love it so far.
Was about to make an absolutely inane comment about how this one track is so Alan Braxe that it hurts in a good way and then I realised the track was called Dear Alan.

In my best Max Dood voice: I love it. I love it I love it I love it. I love it.
I think it's pretty fantastic from start to finish, probably their second best for me but damn close to Cross overall in terms of cohesiveness and quality. Gonna absolutely rinse this today. I'm so happy.

Thanks for the title change mods!
Listened to this about 4 times today. I actually appreciate the 49 minute length. Invites repeated listens, nothing feels like bloat.

I enjoy the album a ton. Afterimage is just incredible, and the run from Mannequin Love till Saturnine is just bliss. Special shoutout to Moonlight Rendez-vous.
The only track I don't like is The End. The lyrics just bad and the vocals don't do it for me either. Bit of a bummer to end on.

Fuuuuuuuck this album HITS!
Absolutely love Neverender! what a fucking banger!
Moonlight Rendez-Vous is a sweet lofi synthy dream
Muscle Memory into Harpy Dream into Saturnine is soooo good!
Ordered the signed CD from Amazon that arrived today and I've ordered the picture disc vinyl, cannot wait to hear it on vinyl!

Vinyl arrived today. Hesitant to open it up because I like the stickers...
Anyways, great album. I'll echo the others by stating that Afterimage is probably the strongest track on the album, but they are mostly very good. I wish The End wasn't the final track -- it has a lot of weight as the last track on the album and while it is good, I don't think it's strong enough for that responsibility.
Also, Dear Alan is wonderful. That last minute of the song is sublime.
You know if it has some nice art inside? Might be tempted to get one for that.
Decent art. Mostly images of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay and some space orb (as seen here on their Bandcamp: https://etjusticepourtous.bandcamp.com/album/hyperdrama). The vinyls themselves are very transparent.
Probably the best thing since Cross? To be fair I really should go back and revisit some of their catalog as I am not sure I gave all of it a fair shake, but this immediately clicked with me in a way that had been lacking since my first listen all those years ago.
