Reviews & Discussion
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.
