It's alright. Named after a Roxy Music song. They're next album succeeds a bit more at this kinda dancefloor-driven Kraftwerk sound. There's some good stuff on here and then they evolved to a really great band later on. I think it's good. Yeah, it's pretty good. I'd listen to it and then relisten a few months later to remember "Oh yeah, I like this album." But mostly it's just there for people who might be eurotrash music snobs to say "I like them but the first album was so much better before they got too commercial"...or something. What do I know? I'm just a average joe who likes to listen to different kinds of stuff.

Ummm,,,, yes--YES!!!

"If the beats' look of the 1950s were placed in the year 2050, this would be Ladytron's look. If the sound were made to emulate innocent truisms and hardcore, well, just general hardcore-ness, this would be Ladytron's sound. I love this band. I love the two lovely ladies of the group, and I never get tired of their sound. It's a mish-mash of Gang of Four bounciness, mixed with unabashed keyboard Korg sound, mixed with the android-angelic vocals of a 1960's style vixen. Love this. You can't not love this.

Great First Album: Ladytron Proves their Worth with 604

"If your new just figuring out what electroclash is or if you are a fan of the genre Ladytron's 604 is a great album packed with great beats catchy songs and interesting harmonies. With 80's instruments and modern production techniques the band is able to sound retro and futuristic at the same time. Overall the sound is fun although many of the tracks have a bit of a goth sentiment to them using the darker Eastern European vocals of Mira and the softer tones of Helaine. The band actually formed in a peculiar way when the two guys in the band met Mira in Bulgaria while DJing and then Helaine joined as they were recording their first singe "He took her to a Movie".



This track is actually on this album twice and while it does have quite an effect it is a rather simple song that is not nearly as developed ad many of the other tracks. This album is a certain must have is you are a fan of `80s music or if you want something that is truly cool. This album will quickly get under your skin and it will certainly become a favorite.
