The Beginning

November 26, 2010 · Interscope Records

Find on Amazon

A hyper-processed, strobe-lit intensity dominates this sixth outing, which functions as a direct, high-gloss continuation of their digitized club era.

The vocal tracks are chopped and layered into the rhythmic machinery itself, trading any remaining human warmth for a relentless, neon-drenched electropop pulse designed entirely for mega-club speakers.
