The Rapture's Got a Single (Get Myself Into It) - What Does it Sound Like?...

...A Dance-Partay in my B-b-brain, baby! It's on FIYAH. The house...YEAH! It's on FIYAH, baby!
No really, though, it sounds like a dance party in my brain. Oh I can see it now. All you crazy hipsters and you're crazy dance moves. Shoo like to daynce? Well here ya go. It's all there - the dancey high-hat, the Bee Gees' angular guitars, the woodblock. That's all you're going to get out of this one, though. I was hoping for something I could really sink my hungry teeth into, but what we get here is some superficial dance-punk with vapid lyrics. The Liars learned early on that the dance-punk scene was on its deathbed before it would even hit the mainstream. The Rapture put out their seminal retro-dance album and they had plenty of time to work out their new game plan, but instead we get the amplified version of their previous material. The uber-hip clubs will love it, but if you're looking for something more enganging than involuntary twitches, we'll have to hope they fail, so they can get their creative heads reattached and put something out as worthy as Echoes.
