album review
The difference in the basic sound of MSTRKRFT's first album, Looks, and the follow-up, Fist of God, isn't huge. Both are built around buzzing old-school synths, thunderous drums, and jumpy, floor-filling disco and robo-funk. The main change is that the vocodered vocals than dominated Looks have been replaced by a parade of collaborators who include Ghostface Killah, E-40, Freeway, John Legend, N.O.R.E., and Jahmal of Toronto band the Carps. "It Ain't Love," which matches a storming rhythm track with a fiery vocal from Lil' Mo, is the record's highlight. The rest is filled with good-time dance music that won't inspire repeated listens but might sound good over speakers in a nightclub. ~ Tim Sendra, All Music Guide

Not as good?

- This is for sure, a great album from MSTRKRFT, but doesn't come close to their 1st. This one, it seems they went more mainstream style, where as "The Looks", had unique beats, and vocals. The Looks was like Daft Punk style, but now, Fist of God is more like Timbaland's producing, with more beats. Both styles are good, but I prefer the old MSTRKRFT. Just felt it had more originality, and style to it.
