Fantastic Air Album

Customer Rating:
Air surpasses themselves in this effort. This album is edgier and more varied than their classic Moon Safari. There are some misses but overall I think this is the best Air album yet. Favorite tracks are Night Hunter, Sing Sang Sung, and You Can tell it to Everybody.

Back to their roots ... and loving it.

Customer Rating:
Upon my first listen through for Love2, I found myself a bit bewildered. My ears hungered for purpose and direction. Starting off with Do The Joy -- an intro full of cacophony -- I found myself angered and disappointed. When I made it through all the tracks I felt robbed of an experience.

HOWEVER ... the music AIR creates is not linear. Their rhythm is not a one-note. It challenges you ... and Love2 certainly excels at this. After the third or fourth listen I began to comprehend the intent and emotion conveyed by AIR. Echoing Premiers Symptomes and Moon Safari, Love2 takes you back to the roots of AIR while at the same time moving the listener forward beyond measure.

To select a "favorite" track from Love2 is pretty impossible. Each song is so unique and moving that one's "favorite" changes with the particular mood you may be in at the moment. Rarely does any artist accomplish this, and with Love2 AIR has created a gem I will cherish for a long time.

Bellow average

Customer Rating:
This record is not at the same level as the previous. Some bright moments, and some not so. Anyway, they keep true to thier style.

Not Enough There

Customer Rating:

It sounds similar to Pocket symphony which also rates low for me compared to 10,00mhz, Talkie Walkie and Safari. If you like to sing along with songs like Sexy Boy, Surfin on a Rocket or People in the City you aren't going to find much here.

At first I didn't think some songs had any lyrics, turns out some did, but they were just minimal or repetitive.

Although it is pretty and all the songs flow very well together. It has that "Air" sound, but feels like it is missing something else that made the older albums fun to listen to over and over again. It may have been wise to have just spent the money to download a couple of the gems that are on here instead of purchasing the entire CD. Heaven's Light and Sing Sang Sung are songs no Air fan should be without.

Classic Air, if slightly less inspired

Customer Rating:
If you love Air, this CD will not disappoint. It has all the productions and writing elements you know and love. It's just a bit less inspired than previous effort, sounding a bit like a part II of their prior CD. Having listened to it several times, it has grown on me.
