Reviews & Discussion
referencing Lovebox, CD, Album, 9230662
Groove Armada is a duo, which excels that they can make music in different styles and they're always ingenious tracks. Love box is their 5th album of self-produced tracks and the best at the same time. There are 3 wonderful house tracks ("Final Shakedown", "Easy", "Lovebox"), yet a hip-hoppy track (Groove is On). There are also nice ballads ("Think Twice", "Hands of Time") and some rocky stuff ("Madder"). The rest is difficult to classify, but ingenious, too. A musical pearl in my opinion.

LOVEBOX sees a definite decline in quality control from the Groove Armada camp. Though some of the tracks aren’t bad at all, some, like “Madder” are out-and-out bad. It seems that they’re relying too much on second-rate raps and rock guitar riffs to get them through, rather than actual songwriting. The delicacy that marked NORTHERN STAR or the party funk that pervaded VERTIGO is nowhere to be found; instead, they seem to be striving for crossover status, without much success. Hopefully some time apart from each other to focus on other projects (Weekend Players, Caia) will rejuvenate the Groove Armada boys some.
